rmdi'm a bout to go on call, which means NO FUN FOR THE NEXT WEEK, so i went and saw "a scanner darkly" last nite with quietann.
the rotoscoping was an excellent choice -- it just adds the right edge of dreamy weirdness to the whole thing. i don't think it would work nearly as well live action. they stayed fairly close to the book, which means it had moments of deep creepiness and generally left me with that philip k dick feeling. good stuff.
