I’m not big on movies. I go to the movie theater maybe 4 times a year, if that. I’ve never even written about a movie on my site. However, one upcoming movie caught my eye and it is one I will definitely be seeing. A Scanner Darkly looks to be a killer mix of Waking Life, 1984, and The Matrix (and I say that not because of Keanu Reeves, but because of the “world you never knew existed” type speak). Debuting on March 3rd 2006, the animated live action film directed by Richard Linklater (of Waking Life) looks to be a huge hit. I can’t wait to see this. I’ve never read anything by Philip K. Dick, but I might have to start. Besides the novel version of this, which I’ll read anyway, are there any other suggestions for some summer sci-fi scanning?

I spotted this a while back, but I didn’t know it was so far away! *sigh*
Try Dan Simmons Hyperion/Endymion series.
Just checking out your site. I saw the trailer yesterday and I think I might just like the end result (desipite Keanu Reeves). Philip K Dick adaptations usually work quite well and I like the pseudo-animation style.
If you wanna read some P.K.D. I would suggest some of the compilations of his short fiction stories. There are a bunch of them out there, but make sure you get one with “Minority Report” in it (so you can see how the movie *should* have ended). Also, Blade Runner is quite excellent.
