I'm a bit behind in working on my blog. As is usual with my little mini-hobbies I picked it up with zeal and now a few weeks later thoughts of blogging have fallen out of my brain like lemmings off a cliff. But for the sake of my grades (and perhaps to have a nice place to show people what it is exactly that I do) here I am trying to slog through another blog post.
The topic of this one is actually on Bladerunner, and it's predictions for the future. I've never actually seen all of the movie. We started watching it in class, but the day we were going to finish I was on a plane going to California, so I don't feel too bad about not seeing the ending. I tried googling though, and that seemed to have worked marvelously. Apparently a lot of people have thought about this apparently prophetic movie. For sure, the very setting of Bladerunner can be recognizable today. Go to any city at night, preferably to some sort of alleyway, and bring a picture from a screen of Bladerunner, and you'll wonder to yourself if you havent been magically transported to 2019, and if it's really Harrison Ford standing behind you with a gun.
