 A Scanner Darkly Trailer I was browsing through yahoo and saw this http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/ ... arkly.html
I had forgotten about this movie but I think the trailer looks great and the animation seems even better than in Waking Life.
BTW is it just me or does that image of Winona Ryder look like Brooke Shields.

Pretty generic actors though.

They should specifically advertise this unique kind of animation. It should interest teens who might not otherwise see this movie.

I love Winona Ryder. She needs to do more.  _________________

Does anyone else think that if you remove the filming style, you'd be left with a fairly generic and boring sci-fi film? I dunno. Just a feeling I get from the trailer.

Well, it's based on a Phillip K. Dick novel, and while l haven't read it personally, l've heard it's one of his best. So l kinda doubt the story itself is generic and boring. But even if that's the case, l'd definitely see it for Linklater and the animation. l love Waking Life. A lot.

Well c'mon guys, this is Richard Linklater we're talking about, let's see what he can do. Yeah, it's really not a great bunch of actors though. But this is just the teaser.

Paycheck, Impostor, Screamers... those all stink. Don't give this film a slide simply because it's based on a Dick story.
I sorta liked Waking Life, too, but it was ridiculously pretentious.

I found it very stupid and boring. The style was cool though.

Looks pretty interesting, even though I have absolutely no clue what the plot is from watching the trailer.
The cast isn't that bad. Ryder and Downey Jr. are top banana - or at least were before their problems took the limelight away from their work. Keanu Reeves ain't that bad in this kind of role and Woody Harrelson was the bomb in Kingpin, yo.

that was bad. Canadian movie?! Nice try, baba, but there's no such thing. Canadian movies are just something your mother tells you about in an effort to keep you under control. As in, "You be good, or the Canadian movie will come in the night and steal your eyes!!".

just because you're Snrub's friend does not mean you have to laugh at his comments. He'll still play with you at night if you disagree with him once or twice.

I said I "kinda liked" it earlier, but that really meant "it looked cool, but that's it." Seriously, it's the most pretentious film i've ever seen. It's like sitting in a coffe shop with a bunch of philosophy students rambling on about some gobley-gook you could give two shits about for two hours. What a blast!

Quits? You think a paltry smiley and a half-hearted *lol* evens the score?
Here: *lol*
There, I guess we're not quits anymore. Now you owe me a million trillion pounds.

Quits? You think a paltry smiley and a half-hearted *lol* evens the score? what are you wittering about? evens the score? all i said was, it makes up for three specific incidents, which i had the good grace to list for you. overall, the balance is definitely in my favour. PWNZORZ!
