  the latin for “make” is “facere” which always reminds me of “fuckere” which is latin for “to fuck”. and i haven’t been getting SHIT in that department lately.

  Film #10 of 'It's June Jim, but not as we know it.'

  A Scanner Darkly is perhaps the most faithful Philip K. Dick adaptation I've ever seen. It is my favourite novel of his, a mind bending, deeply emotional and autobiographical Science Fiction novel and I guess that's why I never bothered with this adaptation. I truly respect Linklater's attempts to stay as close to the original even though he unfortunately favours form over content.

  Linklater's rotoscopic technique is a bit of a double edged sword for me here. I loved how the animation made me share in how all the druggies in the film view the world. It is a kaleidoscopic experience, sometimes with a surreal world, sometimes with…

  Perhaps the most indescribably evocative film ever made, functioning on both an emotive and formal level, it's a comedy until it stops being funny. Linklater's achievement is essentially unmatched in the medium of animation.

  Honestly don't know what to feel about this. I know I enjoyed it. I also know I probably won't remember this movie that much.

  2. My dad letting me watch this

  3. This beating Dazed and Confused as my favorite Linklater

  4. This being in my top 11 almost top 10

  But here we are

  According to a quote from Asher's Review Anyone whom didn't like or can't appreciate this film are nothing but a bunch of shape shifting albino lizard bitches!

  So I'm here to confess I AM nothing but a shape shifting albino lizard bitch! And shape shifting albino lizard bitches cannot live on style alone! We need things like flies, insects, grubs and other things of substance like CONTENT! Which in my opinion there was very little of as the film progressed!

  It is amusing, dark and trippy! It simply didn't ring my chimes!

  Review by Tay 17

  i had every intention to say something about martyrs and scapegoats and victims of (supposedly) architectonic goals & ideologies, but then the film concluded with an excerpt from Philip K. Dick's afterword, which made me cry in a very sad & helpless way. i found the entirety of the afterword after finishing the movie, which i'll paste below when i finish rambling. but i'd like to first pull some snippets both adapted for the film & not included:

  "This has been a novel about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did. They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street; they could see one after another of them being killed—run over,…
