Blade Runner is "overrated" in the same sense that Seinfeld is "overrated": Both are so landmark and influential that they seem derivative because every single thing they did was stolen and reused. Blade Runner embodies every single cyberpunk cliche because it created all the hallmarks of the genre, and any it missed…

It wrapped it up too neatly, and undermines what happened moments before. Mr. Glass is supposed to be his arch-nemesis, the epilogue tells us he's immediately locked up.

His career is going to be, uh, a fascinating transition.

Unbreakable is his best, and it holds up better than Sixth Sense because it's great independent of the "twist".

The A.V. Club
literally crazy people, but they don't really *do* anything

Is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?

The world isn't perfect, but it's getting better. It's a work in progress. It's the responsibility of those like you who can make it better to continue to do so, and it's the responsibility of those who are too tired to keep making it better, like @avclub-fa7fdeb5c05b708e5614c7e8cdb1c34d:disqus, to be vigilant against…

You should look up Reza Aslan's comments on Maher.

Yeah, I think religion is just the easiest for getting other people's dander up. It's harder to convince people to strap on a bomb by carefully explaining how meddling and resource exploitation by foreign powers has created regional instability.

"That's not how you murder innocent civilians, THIS is how you murder innocent civilians!"

Oh, absolutely. I just think it's an interesting thought experiment, because people tend to always think of the issue as trying to prove whether there is or isn't a god.
