    A Scanner Darkly

    Just watching this earlier this week, against other peoples bad criticism - i found it a good watch, although didnt really see the merit of it being animated/cell shaded.

    alot of people said that, but i found it reasonably easy to watch once you realise 80% of the time they're off there nuts.

    I rate it up there with fear and loathing.

    Great for capturing some of the darker and more 'realistic' sides of drug use ... but as a story actually rather weak.

    Still, definately quite original.
