Blade Runner

Y'know... I think I'm gonna have to say that yes I did like it, only because it feels like "Watchmen" to me. First time I read Watchmen I was all "Meh, it was a pretty good comic book... don't see what all the fuss is about". Second time I was all "How did I miss that?" Seventh time I was "Oh, NOW I see what that was all about!" Tenth time I was "HOLY CRAP HAVE I NEVER ACTUALLY READ THIS BOOK?!?!?" and so on and so forth until I've now read it some twenty times and STILL find something new each and every time.

On the surface, Blade Runner seems to be a standard Film Noir set in the future, and i am POSITIVE that it's more than that. I'm left with a nagging feeling that darned near every character in that flick was a replicant, and repeated viewings are the only way to confirm or deny that.
