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.

Its worth watching again.

Its also worth watching & trying to "read between the lines" of what's going on & what they're talking about.

Phillip K. Dick was one of those authors who wrote social commentary type stuff disguised by the sleazyness of "Science Fiction"....

Thought of you earlier today while watching my DVR -- did you see Stan Lee on Big Bang Theory this week?

Yup! Saw it... I hope to add a signed Stan Lee retraining order to MY collection as well :)

I agree with you about the possibility of them all being replicants. That was probably part of the point. Who/What is real? It will certainly drive you nuts.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
