A Scanner Darkly Premiere

After having diner on Hollywood Boulevard at a sleazy French restaurant appropriately called Les Voyous – it means “thugs” – as they blatantly rip you off, serving you plates that don’t match the menu and then making up some bullshit excuses to still make you pay the full price – but don’t worry Voyous, you’re gonna be featured soon in our brand new LA restaurant section – we headed to the Scanner Darkly premiere, or rather to the Universal City metro station parking lot as the Ford Theater lot was full.

The screening started an hour late, after the arrival of actors Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. While visually fun, this adaptation of a Philip K. Dick novel spent too much time on stoner-type comedy stints and not enough on the conspiracy aspect of the story.
