My god. What a shitty adaptatioh. One of the worst movies I've ever watched in my entire life.

cry about it
flow your tears about it

one of my favorite kinos

I also read the book and didn't feel like it was any better really. bookfags are insufferable

there's your problem

What were they thinking with this cartoon style?

>My god
As if

What does the AI see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly?

>>213416795 (OP)
Try "The Golden Man" with Nicolas Cage or "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon, both are worse. "A Scanner Darkly" isn t a shitty adaption, the book was shitty, Dick was too high to write anything good.

I thought it was hilarious. Loved the bug guy

Is the book that good? Haven’t read it but I thought the movie was great. Based on my experiences with drug users the actors were good at playing functioning drug addicts. We’ll all except Keanu but since his character is also under cover it works.

Watching them breakdown on the highway was incredibly relatable. The way the guy had every answer

About to be a fucked up bitch beetle

>>213416852
A scanner darkly is one of the most slavish page-for-page adaptation of the book. There are only a few bits that didn't fit into the movie.

>>213416795 (OP)
Wot iff we animate the movie AND pay the actors so we make the movie twice as expensive

Brilliant!!!

>shitty adaptation
it's literally the best phillip k dick adaptation

>>213417362
>Is the book that good?
Yes.
Most of it is up on screen, but probably one of the more grounded PKD stories.
Most of his books are pretty short, and mostly he wrote short stories, so they're all really quick reads that go from neat sci-fi to shit that makes you realize he just sucked you into his schizo wormhole.
Like if you ever read Valis, you'll find yourself wondering how self aware the story is, and by the end you start seeing the edges of the matrix showing, and you worry if you should see a doctor.

I had a friend that was reading Valis in college and after 4 months i began to worry of her mental state

Rotoscope is neat.

absolute kino

Its really fucking weird. It gets under your skin.

>>213416795 (OP)
i loved it. keanu was quite compelling and i enjoyed his monologues. saw the twist with winona ryder coming a mile away though

>>213416795 (OP)
I saw it in theaters. Spent most of my time trying not to fall asleep

>>213418799
That's radio free albemuth.

>>213418875
Not sure how you could find this movie boring it's funny af

>>213418961
Well it was like 20 years ago but all I remember was nothing happening for a couple of hours

>>213417362
>BOUT TO GET FUCKED UP BITCH BEETLE!
I still reference this and nobody ever gets it

>>213416795 (OP)
Reading books is obviously interfering with your enjoyment of television and film. You should stop.

>>213418875
>Spent most of my time trying not to fall asleep

I laugh every time when he hits his head on the cabinet and freaks out.

>>213418995
It's mostly amusing character interaction/dialogue . Like them picking up a bike and RDJ ranting about how marvelous of a deal it was. All whilst everyone acts like an addiction fiending

>>213418924
Well evidently its also valis. PKD is like Stephen King. His novels might have some interesting ideas but they also suck dick, only their short stories are actually good.

Not sure what your self-portrait has to do with this topic

I hope it sees clearly as I no longer can see myself.

>>213419228
i thought that part was kinda fucked up, it highlights what a miserable cunt he is because he hates his life, and it's sorta framed as the moment he realizes he wants out

>>213418799
I wouldn't be surprised if the Nixon seething transcends generations. Time could wash away blourmph being a pedophile on track to being the worst present in history but in 30 years there will still probably be Nixon is satan jokes because he called out the jews and the pajeets.

Lol holy based

I saw death rising from the earth, from the ground itself, in one blue field.

A present for my friends... at Thanksgiving.

Actually really faithful adaptation.
>>213416852
Voluntary illiterates deserve to be lined up and shot.

You're just as retarded as the guy who can't read.

Otherwise some good takes in this thread. Haven't read Valis yet, but it's on my list.

That'll happen.

If I had fuck you money I'd hire terry gilliam and michel gondry to make a Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich movie.
