Just watched the movie Blade Runner

[Sportsdude]

Wow.

Has anybody ever seen it?

Intense film.

[Lise]

Know it. Loved it. Excellent movie.

[Sportsdude]

Yeah watched the directors cut, so it ends on a cliff hanger.

What does it mean to be human? lol talk about a hard question to answer.

[Lise]

It's funny though............. the machines/robots in the movie are more humane than most of us. I think that's the gist of the movie. I haven't seen it in ages but I'll always remember both my favorite actors, Harrison Ford and Rutger Haur (spelling) in it.

[weird al]

Don't forget the guy who wrote the book that became the movie. If you liked the movie, there's a chance that you might like his books a lot more; and there's a lot of 'em.

I don't like all of his stuff, but I really liked "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?".  A very good book.

[P.C.]

OK....we're going waaayyyy back on this one.  Haven't seen it in years but.... am I nuts, or was Tina Turner in one of those.

I seem to remember "A Scanner Darkly" as being good. He did a "mainstream" novel set in the 50's that was awesome; can't remember the title right now. But it was odd: everything about it was quite ordinary, but it seemed suffused with some kind of ominous undertone. Definitely a genius, Dick - and funny as hell to boot.

I have no idea.  I read the book, but I almost never watch movies.  I think the last one I watched came out sometime in the early '90s.  I've worked in movies as an extra, and I did a commercial for a kids' charity, but I don't really like watching them.  If they are based on a book and they sound interesting, I'd rather read the book.  

[P.C.]

After giving it a little thought, I'm thinking Mad Max.

[weird al]

Yeah, the book usually wins, 9 times outa 10.

[P.C.]

Silence of the Lambs....scariest book EVER.  Movie.....OK

[P.C.]

I hear they're doing a sequel to that,  in Newfoundland.

  It's called Ewes Be Quiet.

[kitten]

Wouldn't dream of watching it.  Like "Chainsaw Massacre".  I don't get into slicing and dicing.  Makes me ill.  *urp*  

[weird al]

There'll never be another ewe.
