I remember PKD being described as "A Poor Man's Pynchon," and the 
Dick's obsession with gnosis/annihilation is their greatest shared trait. 
I love those "glowing box" links you passed along, Dave. Very much in 
the apocalyptic mode of TRP and PKD, the idea that enlightenment is 
much like taking the film out of the camera and exposing it to the sun.

Dave Monroe:
Miller: John Wayne was a fag.
Repo Men: The hell he was!
Miller: He was, too, you boys. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad
in Brentwood, and he came to the door in a dress.
Oly: That don't mean nothing, Miller. A lot of straight guys like to
watch their buddies fuck. I know I do.
Otto Plettschner: Damn straight!

          Rich Clavey: Hey wasnt that the car in Repo Man?

Motorcycle Cop: What ya' got in the trunk?
J. Frank Parnell: Oh...you don't wanna look in there.
