Great points all-around, Poonman!

For those of you with fast connections and a curiosity about the film and haven't seen it yet in its limited release, IGN has a preview of the first 24 or so minutes of the movie.

If that doesn't work because of the age verification they want you to do before hand, here's a link to the selection page:

Robert Downey Jr. as a druggie is purely inspired. He brings an intelligent, introspective analysis that while full understanding the flaws of the lifestyle, is not entirely repentent or a crusader against it now. That makes him nearly perfect for the story and his James Barris feels very right by the book in the little I've seen.

I agree with Downey being a cast a drug addict.Let's face it he lived it.I saw it and I normally don't like Keanu Reeves but I felt he did a good job.The rotoscoping was impressive and I felt this film was far better than Waking Life which I thought was pretentious and kind of made me have reservations about seeing it.Especially on big screen it's great.I definitely thought it did more justice to PKD than Minority in which I thought sucked like hell.I feel we more adult animated films in America along these lines.And for Linklater it was pretty good.I agee he didn't make anything worth while for a long time except movies making Ethan Hawke seem more of a voice of Generation than he really is.

If you don't like 90 minutes of rotoscoping, you can try the graphic novel, which is made from film stills and works like a regular comic book. It also helps that you can flip back a few pages and work yourself through the manically twisted plot.

You know, I saw this recently and it wasn't bad at all. The visual style worked, the acting was actually a lot of fun, and they actually did not stray too far from the original story. I'd reccomend this movie.

Just saw it. What a head trip. I kinda guessed the ending right away. Pretty sad that i was right though. :(

Anyone think that Frack is dead after he attempted to OD? That was pretty hilarious. :lol:

This is like watching Trainspotting with some Sci-fi added in. I don't ever wanna do drugs. :lol:
