The ending to A Scanner Darkly is sadly beautiful, especially with that end text.

I stopped liking Requiem for a Dream after I rewatched it not long ago. I guess my taste in movies changed or something but I found it to be way over the top with melodrama and sensational.

A Scanner Darkly definately held up better.

Yes and no. That scene in particular was horrendous but the book has this stuff all throughout. As someone else mentioned, the main thrust of WWZ the book is that apartheid turned out to be actually good because it was awesome practice for the apocalypse. All the limp wristed liberals had to take their lumps and admit Israel and South Africa were right this whole time!

That it was written by Mel Brooks's son makes the whole thing even weirder.

I didn't remember the South African stuff. That is pretty terrible. I remember it being more "lets put aside our differences and work together to survive the zombie apocalypse."
