A Scanner Darkly

I just found the trailer to A Scanner Darkly, coming out this summer.  (Found via Ed Bott's great Windows tips site)  Based on the trailer, this is a movie I need to see as soon as possible. Check it out and give me a reason you don’t want to see it, I dare you.  I will be dubunking your reasoning in advance.

1. I won’t see any movie with Keanu Reeves in it.
   Whatever. If you are a guy, you saw all the Matrix movies. If you are a woman, you have seen at least one of his sappy movies, such as Sweet November. Let's just pretend that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure never happened.
2. Robert Downey Jr. does drugs. He is evil.
   Yes, he is evil, but I bet he avoids shooting up on film, so you probably won't have to see it. Besides, he is a good actor, and I heard he might bring back his hair from 1985 for this role.
3. Philip K. Dick's name makes me uncomfortable.
   I heard he was changing his name to Philip B. Notphallicatall just for you.
4. That cartooney effect makes me feel like I'm watching a Charles Schwab commercial
   I'm with you there, but I bet you get used to it after a couple of hours. If not, we can make some stock trades in the lobby while buying our Ju Ju Bees.
5. Winona Ryder steals things.  She is evil.
   Hey let he who has never borrowed a strangers car for a few hours cast the first stone. That's what I thought.
