http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/ Anyone else seen this? Im watching it for the second time right now. Awesome movie
I played with a psychedelic back in college that actually makes people look just like that amongst other things....kinda weird now when I see that camera-mation.
This and "Traffic" have quickly become 2 of my fav "social commentary" movies.... Stuff like this kinda makes me want to go to film school, even if nothing ever really came of it LOL
I absolutely adore the novel, and have wanted to get around to seeing the film for ages. Really must at some point.
I'm also a huge Philip K. Dick fan. I've read Scanner several times, plus listened to it on audiobook (read by Paul Giamatti), and saw the movie. Great stuff all around, and the casting in the movie was perfect. Just got Dick's posthumously-published Humpty Dumpty in Oakland for Christmas. I've read about half of his books and plan to read the rest someday. I'm particularly fond of the VALIS trilogy, Radio Free Albemuth, The Man in the High Castle, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (which was the inspiration for Blade Runner). I believe future generations will recognize PKD as one of the great thinkers of our age.
What this guy said, I own both, and they each continue to hold up. Probably the one role I can tolerate Keanu Reeves in, because his spaced out non-acting fits Bob Arctor to a tee.
