Do androids dream of electric sheep?

'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attacked ships on fire....off the shoulder of Orion....I've seen....C-beams, glisten in in the darkness at the Tan Hauser gate....all these...(choke) moments will be lost....in time....like...tears...in..the rain........Time......to die"


One of the greatest movies I've ever seen.

Mechanical sheep...

Google it.

Google it.

Bladerunner is easily my favorite movie of all time.

Tyrell: Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil? Involuntary dilation of the iris?
Deckard: We call it Voigt-Kampff for short.
Rachael: Mr. Deckard, Dr. Eldon Tyrell.
Tyrell: Demonstrate it. I want to see it work.
Deckard: Where's the subject?
Tyrell: I want to see it work on a person. I want to see a negative before I provide you with a positive.
Deckard: What's that going to prove?
Tyrell: Indulge me.
Deckard: On you?
Tyrell: Try her.

Did any ya'll notice that in the film all the replicants had eyes that reflected like a cat and none of the humans did ... and Deckard's eyes glowed like that?

[Muzikman]

hmmm...Electric Sheep. I wonder if they put up less of a fight. Might have to let Load know about these.

(let's see if he reads every thread and finds this )

A blast from the past.

A good book AND a good movie, though not exactly the same story, IIRC. Haven't seen/read in 20years. Most of the best sci-fi doesn't translate directly to film, but it's always nice when a story is adapted so that a cool premise and characters can be shared with the masses.

Google it.

Not that
Interesting.

Ridley Scott recently confirmed what was always suspected, that Deckard was, in fact, a replicant. There were always lots of little clues, but no one was ever 100% sure.

The book is a LOT different than the movie. Also harder to follow.

This film has stood the test of time very well. Its always been my favorite, due to the acting, special effects, story, and great soundtrack by Vangelis, one of my favorite artists.

Wait.... Steelrat, I know that the one of the main goals of the Directors Cut was to suggest that Deckard is a rep. Hell, I wrote a paper in college on how its suggested.

But to my knowledge, Ridley has not directly come out and stated it.

1. If you're not cop, you're little people

2. I've got *6* skinjobs for ya, Deck. (stretch)

3. Piano scene

4. Unicorn dream sequence

5. photo scene

6. The eye thing

7. Climbing the outside of the building (stretch)

8. Origami left behind

9. Then again, who will?

Phillip K. Dick is one of my favorite authors. I'd highly recommend The Man in the High Castle, VALIS, Counter-Clock World, and many others.

His novel A Scanner Darkly, also excellent, is in production right now. DP/Director is the guy who made Waking Life, which has a very unique CG filter that looks "cartoonish". Starring Keanu "WHoaa" Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder, and Robert Downey Jr.

whoa, thats a big one ill have to watch it again soon with that in mind. is he a replicant without a set time to die like rachel then?

blade runner is one of my favorite movies after only three kings and maybe traffic

that new movie 'the island' reminded me of blade runner even though it was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. i kinda thought that it was like blade runner except from the replicant's point of veiw. that being said i remind you it was one of the worst movies ever.

Rachel and Deckard both have the normal three year operational time. The line "She wouldn't last anyways. But then, who does?" (bad paraphrase, sorry) is a giveaway.

Presumably, they ran off to Canada. Dirty hippies.

Ridley Scott comes out of the closet

That was the quote.
