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.

^ own that movie. Love it. Had the book but I lent it out and it never made its way back to me.

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.

Love the style of that, really fits the story for me. I'll have to watch 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.

Is that like a thing in German? I am German, so...

yeah a lot of German words are just combinations of smaller words

German is fun to study.
Capitalized nouns are the shit.
