[QUOTE]Originally posted by Machiavelli: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [qb] Blade Runner is so far ahead of it's time as a movie. I mean it came out not long after Star Wars and it blew star wars away totally IMO.[/qb][/QUOTE]It is a great movie but I don't think it beats Star Wars for it's time... SW came out in 1977 and BR came out in 1982.. so 5 year difference... special effects and such got better 5 years later... [QUOTE][qb]I read do androids dream, which is where blade runner came from, but i was in jr high, and not very good at interpreting and judging talent then [/qb][/QUOTE]The book was Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ... A book that is overdue to be a movie is Neuromancer by William Gibson... a cyber punk genre book... actually considered THE cyber punk genre book... started the whole thing and won the triple crown of Sci Fi awards... some words first used in that book are common now like cyberspace and such as well as predicting the internet. You should read it, you would love it. I am currently finishing it right now. I am not sure about the book but the movie Blade Runner borrows heavily from Neuromancer... like the guy with the Origami is in Neuromancer as well as the descriptions of the cities and such... too much to explain but you should read it... Neuromancer is a cross between The Matrix (which borrowed heavily from Neuromancer) and Blade Runner (the cities and characters)... [/QB][/QUOTE]
