Finally. Richard Linklater’s anticipated Philip K. Dick adaptation A Scanner Darkly (Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson) is finally coming to theaters in all its Rotoscoped glory. I hated the piss out of Waking Life’s coffeehouse ramblings but the visual style used there (and now in credit card commercials) is nothing short … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.
