A Scanner Darkly

Movie: A Scanner Darkly (2006)
Watched with: Jessy

I actually went all the way to Santa Barbara to see this, because I very much liked the book and it's had a whole month to work its way here to San Luis and hasn't.

I was thoroughly satisfied with it, but between reading A Scanner Darkly and watching Waking Life, both about a month ago, there wasn't terribly much surprise left. The movie's probably the most faithful novel adaptation I've seen (unless you count Sin City), and that's really cool, but it also meant there were few surprises for me.

It's very cool. I might even buy it when it comes out. But finally seeing it almost felt like an afterthought.
