Do I really need to air my thoughts online? Does the world need another blog? Ah, what the hell. I can always abandon it later. I'm a quitter anyway.

C and I saw Bladerunner this weekend. Both of us were surprised that we'd never seen it before, and both of us were impressed by it overall. The ending kind of lost me -- due in part to the fact that Rutger Hauer kept reminding me of Billy Idol -- and the rooftop chase scene seemed a bit much. Why was it that Harrison Ford was such a badass Bladerunner when it came to blowing away female Replicants, but he was a complete wimp when confronted with the guys?
Also, it seemed like the Replicants were looking to extend their four-year lifespans, and then the scientist just basically said, "Nope, can't be done" and they took that news pretty well -- apart from killing the scientist, that is. I would think they would either go on a killing spree, upset that they are limited and enslaved by humans, OR, would have done everything possible to find some scientific solution. I mean, they came all that way for nothing.
