Maybe when it comes on dvd.

I am going to see monster house in iMax.

Err, Imax. That movie has potential, and ebert/roeper gave it two big thumbs up.

It's cel-shaded so it's kiddy.

I'll go see it, if anything because of the neat, what would you call it, art style?

It's called vector graphic rotoscoping. Animation for people who like tracing each fucking frame of a motion picture with a mouse. Waking Life used the same technique.

I'm not really sure why they used it for the movie, but it looks kinda cool anyway. I'll see it, but that's because I really like Phillip K. Dick, not because it's all "zomg indie cuz its arty wif holywode ppl."

Yeah, I'm going to see it too. I'm sure the graphics will look rad on the big screen, they might be much more disappointing with the DVD. And a story about drug abuse is always awesome, should have some fine tuned black humour too.

Also Mark, it's a modernization of a Corinthians verse. Can't remember which one. I think it's on the site.
