Blade Runner picked the wrong city on the West Coast to be taken over by Asia. It was Vancouver, not Los Angeles.

My grandaughter showed me a photo she took on her iPhone and it made my heart skip a beat. It actually had about a 16th of a second “video beginning”. i.e. it acted EXACTLY like the photo of the little girl with the woman in the movie “blade runner”. remember, when the shadows of the leaves on the two girls moved slightly before freezing into a still photograph.

I’m guessing the movie was actually the inspiration for this feature in iPhone cameras.

Second Blade Runner post of the day. We’re on a roll.

And unlike Blade Runner, it does not cost $1.25 ($4.30 in today's money) to make a short call.

Small slip. $1.25 in Blade Runner's time is $1.25 in today's money, because the movie is set now.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Well, it did seems pretty dark in LA so they got the PG&E thing right.

They got the first sentence right. "It's November 2019 and Los Angeles is in a state of urban decay."

I want my flying car! Forget Blade Runner, been waiting for it since the March, 1955 issue of Popular Mechanics!

Rutger Hauer died in 2019, just like his charactor Roy Batty.

The movie came out in 1982, but the book it was based on came out in 1968...the book was set in San Francisco.
