Yay! We're going to grab some food beforehand, in all-bar-one. You're welcome to join us there, otherwise we'll see you at Arts at 6.40 to buy tickets and chat over a drink :)
I might get there in time to have food with you (work being slow so far but that can change) but don't wait for me. I'll see you at the Arts at the latest.
karohemd, belaroo and myself met at Arts and had a delicious crepe, then headed into 'A scanner, darkly'. Well, I'd not read the book, so didn't know quite what to expect. Visually it's a bit like an animated graphic novel with the actors superimposed. Interesting, but not as artistic as Renaissance. There was a lot of well studied character mannerisms of addicts, very well done, and a bit of a looping plot, but as it was Philip K Dick, I was expecting it to be more SF, to be honest. There was one interesting effect however; the undercover cops have suits that hide their identity and shimmer, switching between millions of people - one scene with two of these suits talking to each other made my brain go into meltdown - suddenly I lost my grasp on who was who and had a moment of panic - I assume that's what a 'bad trip' would be like, so that was interesting... but not something I'd like to repeat, thank you! Cheers to karohemd for organising :)
