I knew that a film adaptation of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly was coming out. I did not know, however, that Richard Linklater was directing. I also didn't know that it was going to use an improved version of the effects used in Linklater's Waking Life. The book is excellent, Linklater is incredible, so I cannot fucking wait to see this movie.

It's not in St. Louis, yet, but I'm sure it's playing somewhere in New York. It's getting some really great reviews. Wouldn't know myself, though, because I gotta wait.
Posted by: Greg on July 4, 2004 07:25 AMYeah, I'm planning to see it sometime in the next few weeks. It does look really good. I'll blog about it when I see it.
