Fucked up! The cell shading is a brilliant way to show this movie. Go see this movie if you can, the story was written by Philip K Dick who wront such books as “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” (Blade Runner), “Second Variety” (Screamers), “The Minority Report” (Minority Report) and a few others.

I saw it, it was ok. I was laughing my ass off when they were talking about Bob Barker and the 16 spd bike scene. ---

Maybe in a few months when it comes out on DVD, because I’m a big fan of Blade Runner and Minority Report. ---

> [@neurokinetik](#): > > Maybe in a few months when it comes out on DVD, because I’m a big fan of Blade Runner and Minority Report. This has more of a Kurt Vonnegut kind of feel to it. Where Blade Runner and Minority report are more in the distant future, this is much closer to nowadays. I have it on DivX (the DVD Rip) if you would like a copy. The quality is top notch (~715MB) ---
