Iā€™m imagining an identical movie, but every character (main or extra) is looking at their phone throughout.

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, itā€™s here and we donā€™t have flying cars, offworld colonies, or genetically engineered supersoldiers/sex slaves. But by golly, we do have an LA thatā€™s belching fire right now, so they got that part in the opening sequence right, at least.

Incept date is the ā€œbirthā€ day, not the death day.

The replicants have to look at phones too, but they resent it more.

Right. Which means saying ā€œno inception dateā€ makes no sense.

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 Runnerā€™s case, specifically, about how much mileage you can get out of L.A.'s landmarks, and how this doesnā€™t 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 toymakerā€™s apartment with me in downtown Los Ɓngeles?
