Believe it or not, but I watched Ridley Scott’s adaption of Dick’s novel “DADOES?”, Blade Runner, Thursday evening and haven’t had the time to post about it until now. I blame society for this grievance. I need money to continue feeding my addictions, and to do so I have to take time of out my day, which normally would have been used on said addictions, to work my ass off feeding fat Norwegians’ own addictions. It’s a cruel joke that makes me sad.
Back to Blade Runner. I’m keeping it short for the time being, so this is what I have say about Blade Runner:
Gotta love it; Big time.
Harrison Ford and Edward James Olmos; Rocks.
Androids and fallen angels: Rocks harder.
Noir enviroment; makes my inner geek happy happy.
Potential for analysis? Enormous.
Film compared to the great book? Better.
Surprised? Very much so.
And also: Unicorns!*
*Note: figures made of paper**.
** Note 2: Figures made of paper are replicants.
Ridley Scott; Genius.
Grade? 10/10

Couldn’t agree more.
Just one question: Was it the Director’s Cut or the theatrical edition? (You can tell by the presence or absence of Deckard’s voice-overs, apparently, as these were cut in the Director’s thingamabob.)

It was the Director’s Cut, which was the only available edition, but I didn’t miss the voice-overs.
