man i dont know
but the movie was awesomeeeee
i couldnt stop laughing at some of the shit they would talk about

hola rob!

I don't know why so many people hate the rotoscope animation for this movie. I think it's really interesting. No one does this sort of thing except for Richard Linklater. It looks good.

And the dudes who made the rotoscoped Lord of the Rings in the 70's...

Anyway, this looks pretty good despite me not being entirely convinced by Linklater. It'll be a candidate for best PKD adaptation I imagine but then most of them have been pretty poor bar Blade Runner.

& before that Hitchcock used rotoscoping for "The Birds" & before that, it was (I believe) first used for the Max & Dave Fleischer Adventures of Superman cartoons in the forties.
I actually bought a DVD of 15 of the 17 total episodes of the show at a dollar store.
Bryan Singer found inspiration in these animated adventures for how he wanted flight to appear in the new Superman Returns movie.

I loved the look (& most of the content) of Waking Life & I'm sure I'll love this movie too.

this is a different kind of animation from the old lord of the rings though. that was hand drawn over film, while this is recorded entirely in digital and run thorugh a processor, a program, to turn that digital image into an amination, like a filter on photoshop. it loks very rich and detailed and adds something off kilter which fits in directly with phillip k dick's work and mindset.

same concept...better technology

Just like Waking Life, A Scanner Darkly was shot with a digital camera & then each frame is worked on with a MacIntosh.

for Waking Life, Linklater employed a team of artists. Each artist was assigned to one portion of the film & that's why it has slightly different stylistic looks at different times.

Yeah, it's still rotoscoping. A process which seems like a lazy way to do animation basically. But it does look quite pleasing. I don't think I have actually sat through a full rotoscoped film yet though. Haven't seen Waking Life and godknows that LOTR film was pretty painful.

Those Fleischer Superman cartoons are pretty great if for the animation alone. It's basically the same plot over and over again but they look nice. Singer should have dug deep for some more inspiration because Superman Returns was pretty damn weak.

I watched it and liked it. I didn't think I'd be able to get past the rotoscoping, but it didn't bother me.

My sister is so dumb. We were in the theater watching it, and she leans over and says "That red stuff is substance D right?". I just laughed.

I just finished the book. Im looking forward to the movie.
Anyone have any idea what book of his I should read next?

Your a Superman fan also?

I saw A Scanner Darkly last week and bought the book yesturday, I'm excited to start reading it.

Cool!
Good Times!

haha

My goal is to get you guys to go to the Rothko Chapel. Not to get married, but to meditate and look at art. School this kid, ya know? I've never been, although I did live in Dallas during the summer of '89. I make my own periodic pilgramages (have been since '88...now I'm closer) to the National Gallery Modern Wing in D.C (by I.M. Pei) to sit in the Rothko room. Oh, and once I got to see Family of Saltimbaques and The Old Man and the Guitar Picassos there while on tour.

good times indeed

ive read the man in the high castle and radio free albemuth and ASD, all three are incredible! i might have liked RFA the best, but all of his stuff is brilliant. plus RFA is where sonic took a lot of stuff for the sister album. next on my list for PKD books is flow my tears, the policeman said, then valis.
and the ASD movie was great, i understood the end better in the movie than the book. ,aybe im just dumb...
