Trebek posted:I remember trying to watch Scanner Darkly about 12 times when it first came out. Usually got bored and moved to something else 20 minutes in. Maybe I need to go back to it. First time I watched Scanner Darkly I was tripping heavy balls on shrooms. Try it that way. It's interesting. MRC48B posted:I understand why people don't like it. It's very character driven (aka boring), and if you don't pay attention, you miss important plot points. It's based on a Phillip K Dick novel, so it's well matched to the source material. This too. And it has some pretty funny moments.

El Estrago Bonito posted:Stake Land was pretty OK. I mean it's clear the writer/director was super into Elmore Leonard and Near Dark, so if those two things are up your alley then you'll probably like it. I think it didn't get enough attention because it came out in 2011, when both Vampires and Post-Apoc were pretty played out. The director is pretty well regarded as far as undergound horror guys go, and his other gritty crime western was well received, but "horror western post apoc" is a pretty slim genre. Stake Land came out right around when Zombie land came out and it's almost the same movie minus the comedy. Stake Land is as if Zombie Land and The Road had a baby.
