“‘Blade Runner’ was meant to be a warning about how our climate was changing, how our pollution was destroying the world, how industry is taking over the environment,”

And here I thought it was meant to provoke thought about what it means to be human. Silly me.

That the writer and all the persons quoted make no mention of the book that's the basis for the movie, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", shows their colossal ignorance. Indeed, the story was about what it means to be human.

I get a kick at how some of these reporters over-analyze movies.

When "Night of the Living Dead" made such a splash, they all marveled about different aspects (some were accurate).

The one that got me was how many swooned at Romero's "terse and compact approach, creating this gem in only two reels."

When Romero was asked why he didn't do the conventional three-reeler, he said, "Because we didn't have enough money for a third."
