Me too, Waking Life was incredibly good. It's interesting that A Scanner Darkly is based on a novel by Philip K. Dick; he's mentioned towards the end of Waking Life as well.

Making the noise "penicillin" is no substitute for actually taking penicillin.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

You should read the novel, really. Dick is a shitty writer who writes great books if that makes any sense. When I say he's a shitty writer it's because he has no consistency. He was on such a cocktail of methamphetamines and psychedelics that the feel, the tempo of his writing varies sometimes from paragraph to paragraph.

Makes for an interesting read though. I'd also suggest Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.

Do you know which is the book that he wrote that's described in Waking Life? That apparently is strikingly similar to the Book of Acts?

Actually, I just checked the script, and it's Flow My Tears the Policeman Said which Robot mentioned just a moment ago per chance...

you should also read this attachment... (How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later - by Philip K. Dick 1978)
it's what linklater talks about in the movie ( he mentiones reading an artical which made him dream...)
i wonder what to make of it though!
kinda freaked me out a little

i should read some of his books i know... i have to find some good book store first (used)

also i've seen "befor sunset" a few weeks ago and just now realized it's a sequel to another movie he made...
he also used both those actors in "waking life" and that scean is probably what made him want to make a sequal to the movie!
(excelent movie by the way)

:thumbup: basically anything by Philip K Dick is pretty golden. He, Vonnegut, and Robert Anton Wilson all wrote what i like to refer to as 'psychedelic sci-fi'

Psychedelic sci-fi is the best sci-fi.

One area Dick absolutely excels in is the genre that is my favorite - the sci-fi short story.

I've seen Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Really great movies. Especially the huge time difference between the two, the actors and charecters have really aged.
Waking life is just a trip.
Too bad Keanu Reeves is in Scanner Darkly. Oh well, maybe he'll do OK.

Radiohead is going to do the score. I think it's supposed to be mostly songs that have already been released, with at least one new one.

If it is to be true to Dick, it will be sane.

He was a heavy user of both LSD and meth.

His meth use got so bad he reported visitations from God.
