I doubt there is a movie about a scanner darkly.
It is a book in which phillip k dick writes about a man going crazy and so many drugs and he was himself going crazy but also predicted his sons death i think or maybe just cancer,not in the book mind you, but yeah the book is not minority report at all but do go read it. Good stuff.

I don't quite get the context right now, but there was an "A Scanner Darkly" movie that came out within the last like 10 years starring Keanu Reeves. It was done with a cool, weird rotoscope style.

It was ok, Robert Downey Jr and Woody Harrelson kind of were the best part in supporting roles.

There was a film actually. I haven't seen it but I love the book, it's fantastic.

Speaking of PKD movies, just saw they made a movie of Radio Free Albemuth (VALIS) and it's on Netflix.

Sometimes I have an idea in my head that is in between two words but doesn't have it's own word, and I try to say both words at the same time without meaning to or realizing I'm doing it.

I found I have it too and have just tried to re-watch it. But like Linklater movies usually are, it's far too heavy on the dialogue. Got to try again once I'm in a calmer mood. But the comic style works really well.
