I want more life, fathker.
Well listen thats kind of outside my jurisdictionā¦
pretty much miss this guy
he knew how to take you out
Does that mean itās time to get my old Nexus 6 out of the cupboard?
Iām writing this reply on my Nexus 7.
Iām imagining an identical movie, but every character (main or extra) is looking at their phone throughout.
āAll these moments will be lost in time, like those texts from Elaineā¦ā
worth notingā¦ I think
Wake upā¦

It should be good to go for another few years. Should have got a nexus 7. No incep date.
(which makes no sense. It should be no fixed lifespan)
Well, itās here and we donāt have flying cars, offworld colonies, or genetically engineered supersoldiers/sex slaves. But by golly, we do have an LA thatās belching fire right now, so they got that part in the opening sequence right, at least.
Incept date is the ābirthā day, not the death day.
The replicants have to look at phones too, but they resent it more.
Right. Which means saying āno inception dateā makes no sense.
As soon as youāre born youāre gonna die.

Wheeeee!
letās all have a great day
My childhood movies promised me a dystopian future with flying cars, and all I got was instant access to the sum of human knowledge in my pocket. I feel cheated.
I saw Los Angeles Plays Itself yesterday, and was blown away ā generally, but also, in Blade Runnerās case, specifically, about how much mileage you can get out of L.A.'s landmarks, and how this doesnāt ruin anything, but rather accidentally, retroactively elevates BR to meta/pulp/postmodern/pop levelsā¦ sorry for the long sentence.
Thank you for acknowledging this important month.
Anyone want to storm the toymakerās apartment with me in downtown Los Ćngeles?
