A Scanner Darkly

Another Philip K. Dick novel is being adapted to the big screen. Starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder and Rory Cochrane, A Scanner Darkly tells a tale set in the not too distant future, where the war on drugs has been lost, and an undercover cop is set against his friends. It's a Philip K. Dick story, so it's bound to be good if the adaptation doesn't screw too much with it. The movie has an interesting twist with the use of interpolated rotoscoping to transform the live action footage to animation. The trailer gives a preview of what's in store for us in 2006. It looks visually stunning.

Civil disobedience is called for

Image
In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
