Now if only they make it wireless too, I’d be all set.

I thought it looked pretty good. Did it add to the film? I don’t think it was necessary. It added a level of abstraction is all, made it a little more dreamy and less concrete. It probably would have worked about as well without. I think my friend (who had read the book) found it a little distracting because she was expecting it to look grittier. But in the end I found it to be a worthwhile piece of art as it was. But I guess I almost always do :)

Glad to help clear out their inventory. I hadn’t thought much about that, but good thing I’m not particularly interested in the video features!

I mean, I heard that they threw in some pure animated stuff but they basically just filmed the thing and then drew over the frames. Now I haven’t seen it, (didn’t like Waking Life and don’t care for Keanu), and don’t plan on it so I ask you, did the animation add anything worth while beyond the film it was painted on? Would it have worked the same had they not rotoscoped it?

*and since you can rotoscope with computer programs these days (ex. Flash) I have to wonder what they did for rotoscoping that was worth it.
