    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

            that flick looks good.

            i have been wanting to read some Phillip K. Dick for a long while (book this movie is based on). Where should I start? I dont care about famous, ie Do Androids Dream of Electic Sheep (aka Blade Runner), but the book must be great since the movie I just want a great story. I was thinking of starting with The Man in the High Castle. I mean it won a Hugo Award and all, so it can't be that shabby.

            Suggestions?

              OK! This is a must see. Never seen anything like it and has an amazing story line. As far as I know, the showing is limited to select theatres so do your homework. Lots to follow, so I'm going to see it again in a week or 2. Really had that 12 Monkeys feeling.

                    Ok guys saw the movie tonight and i have to say it was Pure crap..

                    Looks amazing but theres no story and the ending is shit, The only reason i didnt walk out half way through was because i was tired and needed to sit down.

                    Oh and id love to know what the book is like cause they really made a bad translation for the movie.. Considering that the book is so "acclaimed".

                        ok I did read the book, and there's something cool about watching the characters como to life, but I can see why some people wouldn't like, theres just not enough information to "get it" call it plot or whatever, but it's very apealling in a graphic way, as a graphic representation of reality, I did enjoy it, altough I knew what was it about, still I would recommend it...
