I haven't seen A Scanner Darkly, but I am a huge fan of Richard Linklater so I'm going to have to see it at some point.
Three of my favorite Linklater movies:
-Dazed and confused
-Slacker
-Before Sunrise
Do you guys dig his work also?

Dazed and Confused is great. Linklater once stated in an interview he loved growing up in Texas in the 70's. So much so he had to share the good times he had with an audience, and that is why became a filmmaker.
Also, Before Sunrise is the best work I have ever seen from Ethan Hawke. It's a pretty awe inspiring film.

What about Robert Downey Jr's performance in A Scanner Darkly?
My favorite part was the bit with the mountain bike, where there's some confusion as to how many speeds the bike actually has (see, the trick is to multiply the front and rear gears, not add them!)... 
And there's a scene in Equilibrium that chokes me up every time: When the un-dosed Preston peels the covering off the window and sees his first sunrise — and it overwhelms him to the point where he rushes off to dose himself.

Linklater is probably the most under-appreciated writer/director these days. I have the three you mentioned, as well as Before Sunset, Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly. I've also have seen SubUrbia, which is pretty good (but he didn't write it), and School of Rock and Bad News Bears were good for that type of film, but he deserves better.

I think he will have his day in the sun someday. Someone as talented as he is can't stay under the radar their entire career....at least I hope not.
