well, thats true, if he was a m ore "stable" writer, he probably could've worked something out so that Kubrick or someone worthy of adapting his work would be interested. Not that Ridley Scott failed him, but for as great as Blade Runner is, it still doesn't capture the true essence of his stories. I think Total Recall (also not the worst) set the standard for adapting Dick as a proto-Matrix/post-Matrix action film commodity. He did write a lot of hard boiled, tough guy goes metaphysical stories, but these are the least challenging for the actor and director (ie. minority report, screamers, ben affleck...)
