I’d like to play with Thor’s props....

Ha! That’s true! Also a pianist! I bet those two could free associate back and forth for weeks. And I would totally pay to see it. 

Apart from Avery Brooks?

Jeff Goldbloom is the only person alive who has developed jazz as a personality.

And they’re not cucks, P-whipped, punks or bums who aren’t real men. They’re what you call partners.

Not for nothing, but this really made me appreciate that my husband just “gets” stuff like this. When I’m out of the house, I don’t have to ask him to do anything because he just knows it needs to be done. I went to dinner with a friend the other day and came home to a completely clean home, the kids bathed and…

2 things:

so two people who work at a blog called io9 - (“which focuses on the subjects of science fiction, fantasy, futurism, science, technology and related areas.”) have no intention of seeing a sequel to one of the most influential science fiction films of all time?
You don’t have to like it - but do your fucking job - know…

This was a fun read. What made it interesting to me is what a 20 year old guy saw in 1982 vs a 20something sees today. These viewers, Beth and Charles, seem to covey their perceptions based on the times they are living and their “other” pop culture influences. Back in ‘82 everything was how postmodernist the film was…

Beth: I did not care for the “Voight-Kampff” test, as I don’t feel like it’d be an accurate way to detect humanity.

I feel like these guys went in negative and overanalyzed it. It also feels like they were (ironically) half-watching it, since they missed things like that the replicant test was indeed objective. Replicants had a involuntary reaction to the questioning. All in all, though, it’s a huge case of the Seinfeld Isn’t Funny…

First off: If you’ve read my stuff around here, you know two things, I love Blade Runner, and I went to film school.

First off, I saw Blade Runner when I was 14 on TV and it changed my world. Visually it was stunning, nothing this good had been made before and the pace of it was so different from other movies. It forced you to watch it, to concentrate. I didn’t find it boring, there is more going on but you have to watch the movie…

“Because it all really boils down to whether or not two people happened to have unicorns on the brain. ”

I think there’s more to it than that. There are other hints given:

I second this motion to amend the membership requirements.

I had heard about this article for hours and how great and awesome it was, but having read it now, I can definitely say it’s way overhyped. I will not be reading the sequel.

Rant begins. You can’t be a geek if you hadn’t seen Blade Runner before Blade Runner 2049 was a thing. You just can’t. Rant ends. (I guess that wasn’t much of a rant...but you can’t!)

Charles. You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. You’re not helping it. Why aren’t you helping it, Charles?

Welcome to io9 c2017: An entire website about sci fi/pop culture where none of the writers like any of the sci fi/pop culture about which they write.

I feel like I’m picking up a distinct air of “I’m too cool to like this” here.
