Screamers is a pretty neat interpretation of a Dick short story. I particularly like that they retained the red anti-radiation cigarettes.

Sure, Blade Runner is a lot closer to DADoES than Total Recall is to "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." The Moon is a hell of a lot closer to Earth than Mars. You still can't get there in a pink...

Hmph. Blade Runner may not be pure PKS, but it's a hell of a lot closer to the original intent than some hack-up like Minority Report or (ugh) Paycheck. Of course I have a soft spot for Total Recall...

I went in expecting something close to Blade Runner or even Minority Report... ... which are Ridley Scott and Stephen Spielberg creations, not PK Dick creations. PKD was never really about the action...

Huh. I was never bored by A Scanner Darkly, and was bored by parts of Blade Runner (not the point where I didn't like it overall). Go figure.

Thank you. I also checked (prompted by this article) the showtimes for Scanner (hadn't realized it was finally out, despite it being about the only movie I've been waiting to see for the past 18...

I saw the movie tonight and was pleasantly surprised, a very enjoyable movie, and very well acted (yes, even Keanu).

exhilaration: If you're expecting a movie like Blade Runner or Minority report from a faithful filming of a PKD novel, you're going to be disapointed. All of the Hollywood action stuff from those two...

I saw the movie this weekend, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. The rotoscope style drained me, but it was for the best I suppose. I don't think there was much spoilage in the linked...

I don't know what you guys are talking about. The movie was HORRIBLE (caps horrible). I haven't been that bored in a long time. I went in expecting something close to Blade Runner or even Minority...

I was totally floored by how faithful the movie was to the book, not just in plot, but also in feel. You could tell it was a work of love and admiration. definitely a thumbs up.

If you're rabidly anti-spoiler reading ANYTHING about ANYTHING you intend to watch is a pretty poor idea, especially on the internet.

Hmm, I suppose it should get a spoiler alert, sorry about that. I don't think there are any really earth-shattering revelations in the interview, though; they are talking more about the feel of the...

Waking Life gave me a headache, too, but not Scanner. I was impressed overall with how closely Linklater stuck to the text. I still loathe Keanu Reeves as an "actor", but Robert Downey Jr. played...

Cool; I just saw this last night, actually. I enjoyed the film, and I like this rotoscoping more than the work in Waking Life; in Scanner it was beautiful but not distracting.
