Fabulous, thrilling and rather sad story. I was deeply moved by the ending. to follow in 2006. |

cant wait to see how the changing identity suit is animated!! Dick is a classy writer. |

bout the Film "A Scanner Darkly" is set in suburban Orange County, California in a future where America has lost the war on drugs. When one reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode. It is a cautionary tale of drug use based on the novel by Philip K. Dick and his own experiences. Like a graphic novel come to life, "A Scanner Darkly" will use live action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process (interpolated rotoscoping) to create a haunting, highly stylized vision of the future. The technology, first employed in Richard Linklater’s 2001 film "Waking Life," has evolved to produce even more emotional impact and detail. |

anyone read Valis? Crazy book. I mean crazy. |
||||||||
|
|

i heard it was pretty good but i actually know nothing about it. would you mind giving me a breif description |
||||||||

I can't wait for the movie... I think it will be great A Scanner Darkly used to be my all time favorite book, until I read VALIS, also by Philip K Dick. VALIS wins, but only by a little bit. Its about a guy who has a mental breakdown after 2 of his friends die, and he develops a second personality to cope. That second personality spends most of its time writing an explination for God, and why there is suffering in the world. Its really amazing, Dick takes religious, mythological, philosophical text, and constructs this insane reality in an attempt to understand the universe. I highly reccomend it. (its a little heavy to read though, since he references so many things... I had to go online a lot and read about what he was referencing, like religious quotes, or mythological creatures etc) |

I read Valis. Extremely good. |

can anyone explain the title to me? i found this bible passage: 'For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.' but that doesnt explain the scanner part. |
||||||||
|
|

its a reference to the bugging devices, "scanners" that are watching the main character. |

Oh great Keanu Reeves! |

All of you guys, try ubik. Seriously, it cures all ailments, remedies faulty gonads, and even defuses illusions! |

I have it on my desk, waiting... but I want to read the transmigration of timothy archer, and radio free ablemuth (sp?) first |

Did you know that I have a crush on Sharon Tate. |

honestly, ubik might have been my favorite of his, though the topic material wasn't exactly my style. It was one of those pkd novels which you can't put down and you finish feeling as if the experience was your own.. but the execution is fucking *sick* in this one. oh and the ending makes you think some. look forward to it. Note I read it 1.8 years after a scanner darkly and do androids dream, and the other pkd I read in between wasn't nearly as good, but I still think it may have been the best of his I touched.. enjoy |

J198: from Wikipedia "The 'scanner' of the title is a holographic recorder/projector on which the main character views clips of his own life but doesn't recognize them. It is also a reference to a Biblical verse in 1 Corinthians 13 that includes 'we see as through a mirror darkly', and thus refers to the main character's weak grasp on reality. SD, the initials of Scanner Darkly, are presumably clipped from LSD, and are also the initials of Substance D." Also have any of you swamis read The Man in the High Castle that book is fucken A. |
