I'm Impressed

Usually I experience a movie trailer as a good reason not to see the movie: either the trailer is awful, or it has all the best parts, or it has all the plot, so why bother. (Or it has icky voice-overs by that deep-voiced guy who does all the voice overs, or the same intensifying chorus that they use for effect in so many action movies and expect me to react to in a Pavlovian fashion.)

But the trailer for 'A Scanner Darkly' not only has none of these, but it makes me want to see the movie.

Well, it's a terrifying book, and Linklater's got the right mind-set (see Slackers) and technique (see Waking Life) to do it well.
