A Scanner Darkly (It had to be done)
Merkava:
Look, guys. I am tired of the Keanu hate. I know a thing or two about acting, and I like still quite like him.
I SAW THE LAKE HOUSE BITCHES
But yeah, I really want to see this. Is this the same director as Waking Life? It's pretty much the same visual effect, I believe.

Yeah, it's the same director, Richard Linklater, who incidentally also directed "Dazed and Confused" back in the day.
Gryff:
I like Keanu as well. He's like the classic example of the American underactor! Also, he is very good in My Own Private Idaho. So yeah.
I will be seeing A Scanner Darkly when it comes here in the international film festival in August.

Rizzo has a great avatar. I just had to say that first. So I didn't forget the name.
I just saw the movie. Never read any of Dick's books, though I intend to now. I just wiki'd Dick and I really like what Ursula K. LeGuin said about him, even though I hate Dickens.
I would say that the style worked beautifully with the surreal nature of the material, Harrelson and Downey were excellent (but I really think Downey almost always is), as many other people have said Reeves worked well for the role and I found the twist at the end highly entertaining.
Definately worth the $8.50. If I can walk out of a movie and say that the only drawback was the fact that the old-ass theatre I saw it in reeked of mildew and that the smell is lingering in my nose it's an evening well spent. Oh, and the previews had some interesting stuff.
I can't wait to see Renaissance.

JLM:
If anyone has seen both this movie and Waking Life, I need you to promise me that this film is absolutely nothing like Waking Life in order for me to express any interest in seeing it.
