I don’t go to the movies a lot these days. Let’s face it most of them are shit. The only summer blockbuster I will go see for sure is X3, I hear Gene is coming back to life and they will do a rendition of The Phoenix Saga as alluded to by the symbol in the water at the end of X2.

The other movie is A Scanner Darkly (July 7, 2006 release). Ever since I saw the trailer for this movie before Constantine I have been really excited about it. I even read through as many Philip K. Dick books as I could. Philip K. Dick has always been a huge hit in Hollywood. Several of his novels have been adapted to the big screen such as Blade Runner, Minority Report, and Paycheck. A Scanner Darkly was published in 1977 and unfortunately I have not had a chance to read it yet. The other appeal is of course the unique animation technique used known as rotoscoping. Here is a link to a very interesting article about what the director Richard Linklater had to go through to bring this project to life. As you can tell from the trailer it looks to be worth all of his efforts.
