What's Blade Runner?

Even me, who doesn't watch movies ... I own this. And I enjoy introducing young people to it. That and Fargo.

Blade Runner is why we bought a PS3. The Geek got the blu-ray disc before we had the hardware to play it.

Last night we were cleaning up after a party and put on Tom Lehrer for clean-up music, and after a few songs, one of the few people who wasn't singing along said "Huh, I should look up more stuff by this guy, what's his name again?".

Heh. Even after a google search I have no idea who you're talking about!

The previous generation's Jonathan Coulton, if that comparison is useful.

It's a novel by Alan E. Nourse, silly.

That's a sentence that should never have been made.

Even though I belatedly got around to seeing the movie only last year when the This Time It's Really the Director's Cut got limited release in theaters, I knew what the movie was.

I love Blade Runner, but I still laughed my ass off at tithenai's review - and agree with many of the points she made.

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they are totally pointy points.

I have the same problem with Casablanca -- one of my top three favourite movies, but sadly a product of its time w.r.t. treatment of women and people of colour. Ingrid Bergman's line where she calls Sam a "boy" grates on me more and more every time I watch it.

It has a pile of problems, but it's still one of my favorite movies of all time.

I've gone to it at the theater each time it is re-released.

Wait. What?

(I love it both because it's such an amazing movie and also because of one of the characters' names. Shallow Sabo is shallow.)

Well you know for the film they borrowed the Title from someone else's novel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bladerunner). There's no such thing as a blade runner in the book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep%3F), and the main character is actually Sebastian, not Decker.
