A scanner darkly This looks like it may be pretty cool even considering the actors in it. www.apple.com/trailers/warner_independent_pictures/ascannerdarkly/ |
We saw it last night. It's a bit slower moving, more Bladerunner than Total Recall, but I thought that for the most part, the movie stayed pretty faithful to the book. I enjoyed it, anyway.  (And it has everyone's favorite moonbat, Alex Jones, with a cameo role, which got the Austin audience cackling.) |
They made a book out of that?

Two words: Bore Ing. Man, it was something that just went on and on and on. The only neat part was watching Alex Jones get cattle-prodded. Even the animated tits were bad. Interesting way to spend an evening, but I don't know that I'm glad I paid 17 bucks to see THAT movie. |
I'm having that same problem. Looks real good to me. Although the director has done Waking Life and I had a lot of trouble getting through that, had to watch it for an assignment, so I'm not sure how this will be. The trailer looked awesome and I like Keanu for the most part. Wanted to see him in Thumbsucker and I think he's trying to go in another direction, not just doing stupid romantic flicks or random roles. Hoping it'll be good. Will probably have to catch it on dvd though. |
oh man. I dont think I'm gonna press hard to go see it soon. I was thinking it might be boring because hey lets face it, it's not going to be completely different from his other stuff.  oh man. The animation looked awesome but then again in Waking life the trailer contained the best animated parts and then a lot of it looked crappy or just weird. ::sigh:: I was hoping another director would take that sort of animation on.Anyone know what that animation type is called? I don't even know what to call it. Or anyone on here know the process? I thought it was something where the actors are filmed and then computer animation goes over it but I'm not sure. Would like someone who knows to tell me please  thankies

wow pretty awesome! Thanks Gloftoe!! |
wow ... thank you for linking that. I would have wasted my money ... Graphics are cool but thats about it thats ever good with his movies |
I caught a before noon showing for $4. It was worth $4. I'm not into the drug movies like this. i went for the 'animation' and that it was a P.K. Dick story. I have to admit though, I really don't like the 'druggies are victims' tone of this movie, and alot of the drug culture movies, songs, and stories that came out of the '60's. I did like Downey's character though, the over the top constant paranoia chatter was very arfcom like...  But, it was a decent flick. I'd only hit the matines or catch it on a rental. Wouldn't pay full price for it. |
