Um...then what exactly is the point of film, if you don't want to watch it?

I saw "Scanner Darkly" and I thought it was interesting at first, but it just didn't seem like anything was happening. Just a bnucha guys either getting stoned, standing around with their thumbs up their asses, or both. I almost fell asleep, and I never do that in movies. Ever.


I watched the first 24 minutes from the link that nothing posted, and it looked more like a sequel to Half-Baked than a sci-fi movie. As for the animation, Philip K. Dick really does deserve better than this. Its a shame when the makers rely on cheap half-assed rotoscoping. In many scenes the actors faces dont even match their toon bodies for pete's sake.
