"Todos esses momentos serão perdidos no tempo... como lágrimas na chuva..." Blade Runner conta a história de Deckard, um "Blade Runner" encarregado de perseguir e aposentar andróides renegados, também conhecidos como Replicantes, que são seres humanóides criados para trabalhar como escravos dos humanos. Apesar de ter sido mal recebido pela crítica quando lançado, Blade Runner se tornou uma obra-prima do gênero de ficção científica e influenciou vários outros filmes e séries televisivas, criando também o imaginário que temos sobre um cenário cyberpunk. Blade Runner foi dirigido por Ridley Scott, roteirizado por Hampton Fancher e David Peoples, e é baseado no conto "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" de Philip K. Dick.

Urzúa y Villalobos, como dicen en la Quinta Vergara, pagan una deuda pendiente. Hablan a fondo y en extenso de las dos películas ambientadas en el mundo de los replicantes y las colonias fuera de la tierra. Mucha trivia, mucho nerdismo y debates como la fascinación casi sexual entre Roy Batty y el nunca bien ponderado Rick Deckard.

Timestamps: "The Last of Us": (00:01:30) "Blade Runner 2049": (00:21:40) The hottest show to storm the planet RIGHT NOW, is The Last Of Us! Based on the video game franchise of the same name starring Pedro Pascal of "The Mandalorian" fame as Joel, and Bella Ramsey as Ellie, we begin our adventure with the duo and start to learn their journey. Enrique is a big fan of the series as he played the first game on release and has beaten The Last Of Us Part II, with the first part being in his top 5-10 video games of all time. Eli enjoyed the story of the game but the gameplay left him struggling to continue so he is excite to pick up the TV show, and Tristan is a virgin to the franchise! Since the trailer, we all have been excited to review episode 2 and are now patiently waiting for episode 3 to drop after the small little preview at the end of the episode! As always thanks for watching, hit us up on social media for a shoutout! Instagram: @DaBingeBois Twitter: @BingeBois TikTok: @DaBingeBois Shoutout BNH for Chill Clap that opens the show every week Series Synopsis: The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO. Based on the 2013 video game developed by Naughty Dog, the series is set twenty years after a mass fungal infection sparked a global pandemic and follows Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States. The supporting cast features Gabriel Luna as Joel's younger brother Tommy and Anna Torv as Joel's smuggler partner Tess. The Last of Us, said to be the largest television production in Canadian history, was filmed in Alberta from July 2021 to June 2022. It is the first HBO series based on a video game, and is a joint production by Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, Naughty Dog, the Mighty Mint, and Word Games. The first season consists of nine episodes written by Druckmann, who wrote and co-directed the original game, and Mazin. The score was composed by Gustavo Santaolalla, who composed for the game, and David Fleming Blade Runner 2049 is a 2017 American epic neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.[10] A sequel to the 1982 film Blade Runner, the film stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, with Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Dave Bautista, and Jared Leto in supporting roles. Ford and Edward James Olmos reprise their roles from the original film. Gosling plays K, a Nexus-9 replicant "blade runner" who uncovers a secret that threatens to destabilize society and the course of civilization. Ideas for a Blade Runner sequel were first proposed in the 1990s, but licensing issues stalled their development. Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson obtained the film rights from Bud Yorkin. Ridley Scott stepped down as the film's initial director and worked as an executive producer, while Villeneuve was later appointed to direct. Blade Runner 2049 was financed through a partnership between Alcon Entertainment and Sony Pictures, as well as a Hungarian government-funded tax rebate. Warner Bros., on behalf of Alcon, distributed the film in North America, while Sony handled distribution in international markets. Principal photography took place mostly at two soundstages in Budapest over four months from July to November 2016.

Blade Runner è un film del 1982 diretto da Ridley Scott. Interpretato da Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos e Daryl Hannah, è un'opera di fantascienza basata su una sceneggiatura, scritta da Hampton Fancher e David Webb Peoples, liberamente ispirata al romanzo del 1968 Il cacciatore di androidi (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) di Philip K. Dick. Il lungometraggio è ambientato nel 2019 in una Los Angeles distopica, dove replicanti dalle stesse sembianze dell'uomo vengono abitualmente fabbricati e utilizzati come forza lavoro nelle colonie extra-terrestri. I replicanti che si danno alla fuga o tornano illegalmente sulla Terra vengono cacciati e "ritirati dal servizio", cioè eliminati fisicamente, da agenti speciali chiamati "blade runner". La trama ruota attorno a un gruppo di androidi recentemente evasi e nascostisi a Los Angeles, e al poliziotto Rick Deckard, ormai fuori servizio ma che accetta un'ultima missione per dare loro la caccia.... 

In observance of forty years of Blade Runner—and in response to the many, many requests we've gotten over the years to discuss this—the Shoulder of Orion team is finally tackling The Big Question: is Deckard a Replicant? In this kickoff show, Jaime and Patrick unpack some of the reasons this "debate" has gotten so complicated over the years. As we've gotten more editions of the movie, we've gotten more evidence (from Ridley Scott) that Deckard pretty clearly should be considered a Replicant—but we also have Harrison Ford and Hampton Fancher arguing against that idea, and an initial theatrical cut of the film (not to mention source novel) that runs with the assumption that he's human. Where does that leave us? And, perhaps more importantly: does it matter? Does the film hold up to multiple interpretations of the truth?  We don't come up with many answers to these questions, but we do our best to at least get the conversation started. More to come!

A massive classic of the science fiction genre, one of the first great depictions of a cyberpunk dystopia and one of the best ad-libbed monologues in film history. We discuss the clues that point to Deckard possibly being a replicant, the differences between the directors “final cut” and the original theatrical release, lighting, the problematic scene and the overall shape of the narrative. Science-wise, we talk about an experiment to see if memories make the person or if it is a moral viewpoint that does.

Many creators have contributed to the Blade Runner mythos. Philip K Dick's original novel and the directorial talents of Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve are widely recognised. But the screenwriter of the Blade Runner movies provided their mythic magic – Hampton Fancher. Fancher encoded the Blade Runner mythos with psychological symbols drawn from the work of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. The first Blade Runner uses Freud's concepts of the Doppelganger and the Other. Blade Runner 2049 is structured around the Persona, Shadow, Anima and Self – Jung's Archetypes of the Unconscious. This episode of the Science Fiction podcast re-publishes The Hidden Meaning of Blade Runner 2049, with an extended addendum on archetypal storytelling, answering some of the most frequently asked questions arising from the original essay. 00:00 An addendum to my most questioned essay 01:56 Thank to members of the Science Fiction podcast 04:42 Why archetypes? 06:43 Where does Gandalf live? 09:10 All of these stories are within you 12:29 Switching of the psychological architecture of our self 15:00 Mapping the Unconscious 23:16 Story is the gateway to the Unconscious 26:42 The Archetypes of the Unconscious 34:39 Blade Runner and BR 2049 39:30 The spiritual experience of stories Watch the original video essay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5fbQ4hf068 Follow the Science Fiction podcast: https://damiengwalter.com/podcast/ Join the Science Fiction community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/324897304599197 Listen to the storytelling of Clarissa Pinkola Estes: https://amzn.to/36Njm81

Mr. Glaser brought wit, whimsy, narrative and skilled drawing to commercial art at a time when advertising was dominated by the severe strictures of modernism on one hand and the cozy realism of magazines like The Saturday Evening Post on the other. His designs include the I Love New York logo, the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster, and the logos for DC Comics, Stony Brook University, and Brooklyn Brewery. In 1954, he also co-founded Push Pin Studios, co-founded New York magazine with Clay Felker, and established Milton Glaser, Inc. in 1974. His artwork has been featured in exhibits, and placed in permanent collections in many museums worldwide. “I NY,” his logo for a 1977 campaign to promote tourism in New York State, achieved even wider currency. Sketched on the back of an envelope with red crayon during a taxi ride, it was printed in black letters in a chubby typeface, with a cherry-red heart standing in for the word “love.” Almost immediately, the logo became an instantly recognized symbol of New York City, as recognizable as the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty. He died from stroke and renal failure in Manhattan, New York City.27 June 2020 – Charles Webb, Author of 'The Graduate' Novel, Dies at 81 - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/charles-webb-dead-graduate-author-was-81-1300794Charles Webb, a lifelong non-conformist whose debut novel The Graduate was a deadpan satire of his college education and wealthy background adapted into the classic film of the same name, has passed away. Webb was only 24 when his most famous book was published, in 1963. The sparely written narrative was based closely on his years growing up comfortably in Southern California, his studies in history and literature at Williams College in Massachusetts and his disorienting return home. Webb's fictional counterpart, Benjamin Braddock, challenges the materialism of his parents, scorns the value of his schooling and has an affair with Mrs. Robinson, wife of his father's business partner and mother of the young woman with whom he falls in love, Elaine Robinson. His novel initially sold around 20,000 copies and was labeled a "fictional failure" by New York Times critic Orville Prescott. But it did appeal to Hollywood producer Lawrence Turman and the film company Embassy Pictures. The 1967 movie became a touchstone for the decade's rebellion even though Webb's story was set in an earlier era. Nichols' film, starring a then-little-known Dustin Hoffman as Braddock and Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson, was an immediate sensation. Nichols won an Academy Award, Hoffman became an overnight star and the film is often ranked among the greatest, most quoted and talked about of all time. Webb's book went on to sell more than a 1 million copies, but he hardly benefited from the film, for which he received just $20,000. The script, much of it by Buck Henry, was so widely praised that few realized how faithful it was to Webb, including Benjamin's famous line, "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?" He died from a blood condition inEastbourne,East Sussex.29 June 2020 – Carl Reiner passes away at 80 - https://variety.com/2020/film/news/carl-reiner-dead-died-dick-van-dyke-1234694208/Carl Reiner, the writer, producer, director and actor who was part of Sid Caesar’s legendary team and went on to create “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and direct several hit films. Reiner, the father of filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner, was the winner of nine Emmy awards, including five for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Reiner remained in the public eye well into his 80s and 90s with roles in the popular “Ocean’s Eleven” trio of films and on TV with recurring roles on sitcoms “Two and a Half Men” and “Hot in Cleveland.” He also did voice work for shows including “Family Guy,” “American Dad,” “King of the Hill,” and “Bob’s Burgers.” Before creating CBS hit “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” on which he sometimes appeared, Reiner and “Show of Shows” writer Mel Brooks worked up an elongated skit in which Reiner played straight man-interviewer to Brooks’ “2000 Year Old Man”; a 1961 recording of the skit was an immediate hit and spawned several sequels, the last of which, 1998’s “The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000,” won the pair a Grammy. he portrayed Saul Bloom in Ocean's Eleven, Steven Soderbergh's remake of 1960's Ocean's 11, and later reprised the role in Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen. He died at the age from natural causes in Beverly Hills, California.30 June 2020 – Queensland university teams up with NASA to discover new planet the size of Neptune- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-29/usq-nasa-discover-new-earth-sized-planet-a-mic-b/12398056- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2400-z.epdf?sharing_token=3JTENEuQF-T3APeZX4KxB9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OtWNw2qcogQBYD10PdZhvxquqAqRChzO1nFKcfFtPKYHAUuZEWATQRM6h9tEKLylR11rM5M00uEqg6rHXXliKmS5mXQef56GLCRaooyb8BXkhcAIrlIx7_Nr2K-gZjizUMUcLFUaO80eRmm9mly099uTj6Gync7Hk-5dw0DGtLhcXtSIQcYAQT4mWbAxkmL5yyaVggBeZwOqhfwy06a8j2CY1WJyMSiFGHGoRGRYSGjqQPoVLcnVYYHq91fqiYaRh2p6hlMJYTKQxNJ4rwx5ud&tracking_referrer=www.abc.net.au Queensland researchers have helped NASA discover a new planet the size of Neptune, "only" 32 light-years away. NASA first spotted the planet two years ago and have been working to confirm its existence with researchers around the world, including a team at the Mount Kent observatory, south of Toowoomba. "It's only 32 light-years away, which means the light we see tonight left it in 1988," said University of Southern Queensland (USQ) astrophysicist, Jonti Horner. The planet, AU Mic b, was found orbiting the young star AU Microscopii (AU Mic), which was trillions of kilometres from Earth in the southern constellation Microscopium. Professor Horner said AU Mic b would not be suitable for people to live on due to its intense heat of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. The infant planet was discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the recently retired Spitzer Space Telescope. These results were published in the journal Nature.Remembrances29 June 1855 – John Gorrie- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gorrie- https://patents.google.com/patent/US8080John B. Gorrie, American physician, scientist, inventor of mechanical cooling, and humanitarian. Dr. Gorrie's medical research involved the study of tropical diseases. At the time the theory that bad air — mal-aria — caused diseases was a prevalent hypothesis and based on this theory, he urged draining the swamps and the cooling of sickrooms. For this he cooled rooms with ice in a basin suspended from the ceiling. Cool air, being heavier, flowed down across the patient and through an opening near the floor. Since it was necessary to transport ice by boat from the northern lakes, Gorrie experimented with making artificial ice. After 1845, gave up his medical practice to pursue refrigeration products. On May 6, 1851, Gorrie was granted Patent No. 8080 for a machine to make ice. The original model of this machine and the scientific articles he wrote are at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1835, patents for "Apparatus and means for producing ice and in cooling fluids" had been granted in England and Scotland to American-born inventor Jacob Perkins, who became known as "the father of the refrigerator". Another version of Gorrie's "cooling system" was used when President James A. Garfield was dying in 1881. Naval engineers built a box filled with cloths that had been soaked in melted ice water. Then by allowing hot air to blow on the cloths it decreased the room temperature by 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It required an enormous amount of ice to keep the room cooled continuously. Yet it was an important event in the history of air conditioning. It proved that Dr. Gorrie had the right idea, but was unable to capitalize on it.The first practical refrigeration system in 1854, patented in 1855, was built by James Harrison in Geelong, Australia. He died at the age of 52 in Apalachicola, Florida.29 June 1997 – William Hickey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hickey_(actor)William Edward Hickey, American actor. He is best known for his Academy Award-nominated role as Don Corrado Prizzi in the John Huston film Prizzi's Honor , as well as Uncle Lewis in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and the voice of Dr. Finklestein in Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. His most important contribution to the arts, however, remains his teaching career at the HB Studio in Greenwich Village, founded by Hagen and Herbert Berghof. George Segal, Sandy Dennis, Barbra Streisand, and Sandra McClain all studied under him. He was a staple of Ben Bagley's New York musical revues, he can be heard on several of the recordings, notably Decline and fall of the entire world as seen through the eyes of Cole Porter. Hickey enjoyed a career in film, television and theater. In addition to his work as an actor, he was a respected teacher of the craft. Notable for his unique, gravelly voice and somewhat offbeat appearance, Hickey, in his later years, was often cast in "cantankerous-but-clever old man" roles. His characters, who sometimes exuded an underlying air of the macabre, usually had the last laugh over their more sprightly co-stars. He died fromemphysema andbronchitis at the age of 69 in New York City.29 June 2003 – Katherine Hepburn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_HepburnKatharine Houghton Hepburn, American actress who was a leading lady in Hollywood for more than 60 years. She appeared in a range of genres, from screwball comedy to literary drama, and she received a record four Academy Awards for Lead Acting Performances, plus eight further nominations. In 1999, Hepburn was named by the American Film Institute the greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema. She was known for her fierce independence and spirited personality. In the 1940s, she began a screen and romantic partnership with Spencer Tracy, which spanned 26 years and nine movies, although the romance with the married Tracy was hidden from the public. Hepburn challenged herself in the latter half of her life, as she tackledShakespearean stage productions and a range of literary roles. Hepburn famously shunned the Hollywood publicity machine, and refused to conform to society's expectations of women. She was outspoken, assertive, and athletic, and wore trousers before they were fashionable for women. She was briefly married as a young woman, but thereafter lived independently. With her unconventional lifestyle and the independent characters she brought to the screen, Hepburn epitomized the "modern woman" in the 20th-century United States, and is remembered as an important cultural figure. She died from cardiac arrest at the age of 96 in Fenwick, Connecticut.Famous Birthdays29 June 1793 – Josef Ressel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_ResselJoseph Ludwig Franz Ressel,Austrian forester and inventor of Czech-German descent, who designed one of the first working ship's propellers. He worked for the Austrian government as a forester in the more southern parts of the monarchy, including in Motovun,Istria (modern-day Croatia). His work was to secure a supply of quality wood for the Navy. He worked in Landstrass (Kostanjevica on the Krka river in Carniola in modern-day Slovenia), where he tested his ship propellers for the first time. In 1821 he was transferred to Trieste (modern-day Italy), the biggest port of the Austrian Empire, where his tests were successful. He was awarded a propeller patent in 1827. He modified a steam-powered boat Civetta by 1829 and test-drove it in the Trieste harbor at six knots before the steam conduits exploded. Because of this misfortune, the police banned further testing. The explosion was not caused by the tested propeller as many believed at the time. Besides having been called "the inventor of the propeller", he was also called the inventor of the steamship and a monument to him in a park in Vienna commemorates him as “the one and only inventor of the screw propeller and steam shipping”. He was also commemorated on Austria's 500 Schilling banknote in the mid 1960s (P139), which shows him on the front and the ship "Civetta" on the back. Among other Ressel's inventions are pneumatic post and ball and cylinder bearings. He was granted numerous patents during his life. He was born in Chrudim,Bohemia, Habsburg Monarchy.28 June 1818 – Angelo Secchi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_SecchiFr. Angelo Secchi, Italian astronomer by the italian region of Emilia. He was a pioneer in astronomical spectroscopy, and was one of the first scientists to state authoritatively that the Sun is a star. Secchi made contributions to many areas of astronomy. He discovered three comets, including Comet Secchi. He produced an exact map of the lunar crater Copernicus. He drew some of the first color illustrations of Mars and was the first to describe "channels" (canali in Italian) on the planetary surface.Secchi was especially interested in the Sun, which he observed continually throughout his career. He observed and made drawings of solar eruptions and sunspots, and compiled records of sunspot activity. In 1860 and 1870, he organized expeditions to observe solar eclipses. He proved that the solar corona and coronal prominences observed during a solar eclipse were part of the Sun, and not artifacts of the eclipse.However, his main area of interest was astronomical spectroscopy. He invented the heliospectrograph, star spectrograph, and telespectroscope. He showed that certain absorption lines in the spectrum of the Sun were caused by absorption in the Earth's atmosphere. Starting in 1863, he began collecting the spectra of stars, accumulating some 4,000 stellar spectrograms. Through analysis of this data, he discovered that the stars come in a limited number of distinct types and subtypes, which could be distinguished by their different spectral patterns. From this concept, he developed the first system of stellar classification: the five Secchi classes. While his system was superseded by the Harvard system, he still stands as discoverer of the principle of stellar classification, which is a fundamental element of astrophysics. His recognition of molecular bands of carbonradicals in the spectra of some stars made him the discoverer of carbon stars, which made one of his spectral classes. Secchi was active in oceanography, meteorology, and physics, as well as astronomy. He invented the Secchi disk, which is used to measure water transparency in oceans, lakes and fish farms. He studied the climate of Rome and invented a "Meteorograph" for the convenient recording of several categories of weather data. He also studied the aurora borealis, the effects of lightning, and the cause of hail. He organized the systematic monitoring of the Earth's magnetic field, and in 1858 established a Magnetic Observatory in Rome. Secchi also performed related technical works for the Papal government, such as overseeing placement of sundials and repair or installation of municipal water systems. In 1854–1855, he supervised an exact survey of the Appian Way in Rome. This survey was later used in the topographic mapping of Italy. He supervised construction of lighthouses for the ports of the Papal States. He was born in Reggio Emilia.29 June 1861 – William James Mayo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James_MayoPhysician and surgeon in the United States and one of the seven founders of the Mayo Clinic. He and his brother, Charles Horace Mayo, both joined their father's private medical practice in Rochester, Minnesota, US, after graduating from medical school in the 1880s. In 1919, that practice became the not-for-profit Mayo Clinic. On August 21, 1883, a tornado struck Rochester, killing 29 people and seriously injuring over 55 others. One-third of the town was destroyed, but young Will and his family escaped serious harm. The relief efforts began immediately with a temporary hospital being established at the town's dance hall. The Mayo brothers were extensively involved in treating the injured who were brought there for help. Mother Alfred Moes and the Sisters of Saint Francis were called in to act as nurses (despite the fact they had little if any medical experience). After the crisis had subsided, Mother Alfred Moes approached William Worrall Mayo about establishing a hospital in Rochester. In September 30, 1889, Saint Mary's Hospital opened. In September 1931, Mayo and other prominent individuals of the time were invited by The New York Times to make a prediction concerning the world in eighty years time in the future, in 2011. Mayo's prediction was that the life expectancy of developed countries would reach 70 years, compared to less than sixty years in 1931. “Contagious and infectious diseases have been largely overcome, and the average length of life of man has increased to fifty-eight years. The great causes of death in middle and later life are diseases of heart, blood vessels and kidneys, diseases of the nervous system, and cancer. The progress that is being made would suggest that within the measure of time for this forecast the average life time of civilized man would be raised to the biblical term of three-score and ten.” He was born in Le Sueur, Minnesota.29 June 1868 – George Ellery Hale - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Ellery_HaleAmerican solarastronomer, best known for his discovery of magnetic fields in sunspots, and as the leader or key figure in the planning or construction of several world-leading telescopes; namely, the 40-inch refracting telescope at Yerkes Observatory, 60-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, 100-inch Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson, and the 200-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Palomar Observatory. He also played a key role in the foundation of theInternational Union for Cooperation in Solar Research and the National Research Council, and in developing the California Institute of Technology into a leading research university. In 1908, he used the Zeeman effect with a modified spectroheliograph to establish thatsunspots were magnetic. Subsequent work demonstrated a strong tendency for east-west alignment of magnetic polarities in sunspots, with mirror symmetry across the solar equator; and that the polarity in each hemisphere switched orientation from one sunspot cycle to the next. This systematic property of sunspot magnetic fields is now commonly referred to as the "Hale–Nicholson law," or in many cases simply "Hale's law." Hale spent a large portion of his career trying to find a way to image the solar corona without the benefit of a total solar eclipse, but this was not achieved until the work of Bernard Lyot.

Before James Burbage built his theater, plays and dramatic performances were ad hoc affairs, performed on street corners and in the yards of inns. However, the Common Council of London, in 1574, started licensing theatrical pieces performed in inn yards within the city limits. To escape the restriction, actor James Burbage built his own theater on land he leased outside the city limits. When Burbage’s lease ran out, the Lord Chamberlain’s men moved the timbers to a new location and created the Globe. On 29 June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical cannon, set off during the performance, misfired, igniting the wooden beams and thatching. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches were put out with a bottle of ale.29 June 1975 – Steve Wozniak tested his first prototype of Apple I computer. - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/steve-wozniaks-apple-i-booted-up-tech-revolution-180958112/Apple I was the first computer from Apple. It was fully made by Steve Wozniak with little or no input from Steve Jobs. Apple I came without a keyboard, monitor and even an enclosing cabinet. It was basically a motherboard with chips. At the Homebrew Computer club in Palo Alto, California (in Silicon Valley), Steve Wozniak, a 26 year old employee of Hewlett-Packard and a long-time digital electronics hacker, had been wanting to build a computer of his own for a long time. It didn’t look like much—just a circuit board with 32 chips attached, connected to a video monitor and a keyboard. But when he turned it on? Magic. A cursor appeared on the screen—and better yet, it reacted instantly to whatever keys Wozniak pressed. “I typed a few keys on the keyboard and I was shocked!” he recalled in his memoir, iWoz. It was, he observed, the first time in history anyone had typed on a personal computer and seen the results “show up on their own computer’s screen right in front of them.” The sensation of success—he was looking at random numbers he had programmed—was “like getting a putt from 40 feet away.” The Apple I sold for only $666.66. (Wozniak picked the price because he liked repeating numbers; he had no clue about the satanic resonance.)IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes -https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS -http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamatedRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Can your characters be given choices and yet still be deprived of agency? To kick off 2018, Chas and Stu take a deep dive into one of their favourite movies of 2017: Blade Runner 2049. However, they abstained from “Fox News-ing this shit” by being joined by the most accomplished screenwriter they know, C.S. McMullen (Blood List 2017, Black List 2017, also a lover of Blade Runner 2049). For a film that is thematically about choice, Stu and Chas thought this would be an excellent opportunity to explore how characters can be dramatised through binary choices.  And yet, CS opened their eyes to the idea that characters can still be given choices without having agency. Without having choice in their choices. Not having choices that lead to different outcomes. It is perhaps the lack of agency (rather than the lack of choice) that lead to some of the troubling depiction of women and minorities in Blade Runner 2049, which our intrepid hosts explore in detail.

This episode of Zack’s Film Talks at SDSU is hosted by Libsyn. My guest is Michael Green, who wrote Blade Runner 2049 with Hampton Fancher.   Michael was raised in Mamaroneck, NY, and went to Stanford University. He wrote for Sex and the City and is the co-creator of American Gods. In this episode, Michael talks about: the importance of reading why it's good to go to the movies, as opposed to just watching them how he once made two stacks of film scripts—ones he felt were better than his, and those he felt he could do better than—and spent time studying and learning “by dissection” from the best JohnAugust.com—a screenwriting website/podcast he highly recommends Green Lantern and his early fascination with comics the “constant battle” he undergoes between creating original projects and working on adaptations  To prep for Blade Runner 2049, Michael read the great noir novels. We collected a few lists here: https://www.amazon.com/Hardboiled-America-Lurid-Paperbacks-Masters/dp/0306807734, http://www.mensjournal.com/expert-advice/best-old-school-noir-novels-20160217, https://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/50-must-read-noir-detective-novels/.   Full interview transcription: Hello, and welcome to Zack’s Film Talks at SDSU, a film podcast featuring interviews with screenwriters, directors, cinematographers, and more. This is Episode 1. My guest today is screenwriter Michael Green, who co-wrote Blade Runner 2049. Michael talks about the importance of structure in a screenplay, and he warns writers not to become paralyzed by research. Our conversation was recorded November 9, 2017.   ZS: Hey, Michael, how are you? MG: Hey, great. ZS: Thank you so much for doing this, by the way. So was there a particular moment in your life when you knew you wanted to be in the film industry or just screenwriting in general? MG: … That question comes up from time to time, because people will often look for creation myths in writers and writing. Unfortunately, writers and writing tends to be a much less romantic profession—much more a slog. But what I can definitely track in myself is a persistent love of television and film. Even times when I wanted to be a doctor or a comedian or carpenter or doctor or any of the other things that seemed appealing, I did all that fantasizing while watching way too much TV and wanting to go to the movies. That’s where my passion lay. And I just got very fortunate that I had a moment of brain connection that perhaps I should do what I loved, and also even more fortunate that I was given the opportunities to do so.     ZS: Great. So is there anything in particular that gives you inspiration as a screenwriter? MG: I think any screenwriter that doesn’t read a lot is probably not tapping into their best potential or inspiration. Reading has always been what makes for more writing—and going to the movies, and watching television shows that are great and wonderful. These days going to the movies as opposed to just watching them at home—they’re very different experiences. … [I]n television, [watch] the show on-air the way the audience would see it. So if it’s a network show … watch it on the air with commercials. … ZS: Yeah, I definitely agree. I think going to the movies is probably just the best way to watch anything. It gives you a completely different experience than just watching it in your own home. MG: Absolutely. It’s an indulgence. But one should indulge, especially if that’s your art. What’s the last movie you saw in a theater? ZS: It was actually Blade Runner. MG: Oh! Good answer! I will take that! ZS: It was great, by the way. MG: I strongly recommend that the next movie you see be Murder on the Orient Express. … ZS: So you mentioned reading in one of your answers. I saw that you—I read the Hollywood Reporter interview where you said that when you started writing you made two stacks of scripts: one that you thought your work was better than and work that you thought was better than yours. How did you differentiate that? MG: You’re asking the right question because it was an incredibly arrogant statement I made—that I’m able to look at a stack and … determine with any accuracy whether I’m better or worse. … What that really means is that I started to have an opinion about what I thought was good— ZS: Okay. MG: —and applied that to my own writing. You might be wrong, but at least you’re starting to develop your own metronome that you’re going to start keeping time to. The more you read, the more you know what works, what doesn’t—what works for you, what doesn’t work for you, and how to approximate that. When I was starting—it was twenty years ago exactly, and that makes me a very old person, especially compared to you ...—but scripts were very elusive then. It was like, “Oh my God, you got a copy of the script of Tim Burton's Batman…? How? They were these secret things—you could only get them if you knew someone . …  People sold them on the streets in New York for five bucks. They were these magic things. You could go to Sam French and read every play in the world—which you should. But screenplays now are generally available on the Internet, and every TV show—you can read all the scripts. You can read the scripts and reverse-engineer: how did they do that? How did they get that image on the page? … How did they—was that dialogue on the page, or was it adapted by the actor … or was that word-for-word what was written? How did they structure it?—secretly the hardest thing in screenwriting. And you can start to learn by dissection. So I was fortunate that I lucked my way into a job where I had access to scripts. …And now they’re all PDFs. Get ’em all! Read them and understand. This person has a fancy reputation … but they’re terrible! Oh my gosh! I can have that job. Or: holy crap, this person wrote something that makes me think I suck. I want to be as good as that. … Get your ego invested, either positive or negative … because that’s your profession. … See how you feel about other people's work. ZS: I totally agree. Since I’ve been recently getting into screenwriting, I go on those websites that have all those PDFs, all the files. It’s great to look at it—especially with actions and sequences. If it’s a movie I’ve seen, like, five times, I go look at the screenplay and I can actually see it as it’s happening. MG: Yeah! …There are a few screenwriters of note who have dedicated enormous amounts of time and energy to  websites, especially John August—JohnAugust.com. John August is an incredible screenwriter, a very nice guy. … Anytime people ask me starting-out questions, I always refer them to his website, or [Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Jose Molina's] Children of Tendu, because they’ve done all these wonderful podcasts with really, really smart answers to questions that everyone has. John August started an FAQ about screenwriting twelve years, ten years ago. And if you just started reading backwards from his recent posts back to the original, you would know a lifetime of screenwriting advice. It’s incredible. All of this stuff used to be so esoteric—you couldn’t get answers to that. You didn’t have access to. … So it’s an incredible time to be an aspiring screenwriter— ZS: Yeah. MG: —because it’s all there for you to learn. The only thing is on top of that make sure to read things that aren’t just screenplays. … You still need to be someone who has something to write about, which means you have to cultivate interests. … No one wants a film about people who want to make films. … Not that there isn’t a good version of it, but there are a lot of them out there. Sometimes that’s the only experience people have. So make sure to have other experiences in your life. … ZS: So I saw in another interview that you— MG: —It’s a fancy way of saying: make sure to goof off! ZS: Yeah. That’s a good way to put it. So I saw in another interview that you were very into comics growing up. Is that one way—one platform of reading that you kind of got motivated off of, since you’ve obviously written a few superhero-oriented movies? MG: Ah, definitely, I mean, any reading is good reading. Anything that you gravitate to is worth doing. … I read a lot of comics growing up, but I wasn’t very thoughtful about it or reflective about why I liked these things, or didn’t even have a really strong sense of what I liked. I just wanted to consume it all. But I can look back on those experiences and see what my brain remembers from all that reading all these years later. And then there’s something very self-indulgent about writing. You’re taking time out of what could be an experience [to] put words down that you're certain other people should hear, and sometimes you do it for other people in your life, and sometimes you do it for yourself, and sometimes you write for your bar mitzvah self—for the 12-year-old- or 13-year-old version of yourself. … ZS: So all the films that you’ve made have been adaptation projects, whether it be from a series, like Logan, or adapting Blade Runner. … Is that something that you want to stick with doing, or are you trying to come up with original concepts? MG: You know, it’s a constant battle. If I’m not adapting things, then I’m coming up with originals. It happens to be that in the last few years, things were brought my way that were too irresistible to say no to. ... We’re definitely in a time in the entertainment industry where studios feel most comfortable with developing properties that are known. Adaptations just happen more. It has a lot to do with what the audiences are willing to show up for. There was a really pivotal moment a couple of years ago when this wonderful movie called Edge of Tomorrow came out, starring Tom Cruise. It’s a Warner Bros. film, directed by Doug Liman. It was an original film, but it actually was based on [Hiroshi Sakurazaka's] manga comic [All You Need Is Kill]. ... [Website here.] This was a new, fresh thing. It was such a great film. And there was ... a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking about why it didn’t do well. People didn’t show up! You had audiences looking for familiar things. … It became a cult film later, but that was the day Warner Bros. said, We might not want to do original stuff for a very long time. At studios you can see the reverberations of that. … you could see the business seismic shift after things like that happened. As a working screenwriter, you get offered things … as opposed to when you say I want to do something original and you have to create time where you essentially say no to jobs. If I want to do something original, on spec … I’ll have to take as many weeks or months as that’ll take, not getting paid to do something else, to take a chance on something original. That’s a big lottery ticket. If it works well, you’ve now created something that you can enjoy, and that’s yours from the ground up. But if it doesn’t, you’ve now not worked during that slot of writing.… If you're not interested in high-risk kind of reward, don't be a screenwriter. I'm not saying anything fresh or original in the adaptation-versus-original conversation. People spend a lot of time looking at the finances of [this]. ZS: So when adapting an existing project or a previous movie, how much research goes into it—how much time went into researching Blade Runner, and rereading the original script and watching the movie? MG: Research is an important part of writing—you need to fill your mind with things of and around the piece, and internalize it. And it can mean different things on different projects. ...With Blade Runner, you certainly need to know that film. But there’s also a point that comes in every project where you have to stop. I’ve known writers who’ve paralyzed themselves ... using research as the excuse to not start. At some point you have to say, I’ve read enough; I know enough. … For Blade Runner ... I obviously knew the film very well ... but I did put myself through Noir Writing School—which was nothing more than, I just hadn’t read a lot of the great noir novels, and I gave myself the license to take some time to read them. ZS: Cool. MG: Pure joy. And then I would have them as the occasional tuning fork, till I felt I had a new voice in my head, or my version of all that. And then from time to time I might, while taking a lunch break, eating my … salad, pick up one of those [novels] and read a few pages to keep my mind occupied with those words and those cadences. Research is very important and it’s very useful—to a point. At some point you have to trust yourself as a writer and say, Okay, I got it—or at least me right now has a version of this. And you can only be the writer you are at that moment. In a year’s time, you might pick up what you wrote and say, Oh, I can improve on that. Hopefully you’ll have that opportunity. But you do have to do your job as a writer and let go of the fear of not being comprehensive. You don’t have to give yourself a PhD in Civil War history before you write [a] Civil War [film]. You have to read some, to find your way around it. Don’t paralyze yourself with that—but don’t be lazy, either! ZS: I know a lot of screenwriters like to direct and/or produce their own projects that they’ve written. Is there a reason that you haven’t really stepped into that? Or would you ever consider it? MG: Well, I came out of television, where I am a producer—where I do produce. Features is the director-driven job. ...In television, one of the nice things about it, from my perspective, is the writer and show runner is in charge of the show—produces it, top to bottom, every last detail, almost to the point where it can produce a terrible job, because it's too much control over everything. I’ve been very fortunate that I’ve been able to write features but I'm also able to stay in television, where I do run a show. … I can have an insane amount of control over every detail, or decide for myself what I want to delegate and what I don't, and [keep to] a form of direction in that way, while still writing. And [I can] work on features in the margins of that time. I've enjoyed that a lot. As far as directing, it’s an ambition I have. Depending on how a few things go this year, I may direct an episode of American Gods. ZS: Cool. MG: Put my toe in those waters and dive on in. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and just kept saying, I’ll do it next year; I'll do it on the next show. So it depends on how a few things shake out this year. … ZS: Cool. So it sounds like you’re on set and involved in production for American Gods. Are you ever on set for the features that you write? MG: Yes. For American Gods I’m on set as much as I’m able to be, with my good friend Bryan Fuller. Toronto, Los Angeles. … On the features, it’s sort of “as able”: Logan I was not on the set for. I didn’t finish out the writing on that. That was James Mangold and Scott Frank. They were more on the ground there. Blade Runner and Orient Express, I was very fortunate. Both directors were extremely inviting and just said, "Be here as much as you want to be here." I was very much a part of that process. … After a few weeks I felt like. Well, I might have a contribution here, but I also felt ... I had to get back to American Gods—you can’t run a show from Europe. I would check in and out—spend a couple of weeks. Orient Express I was there the first week or two. Interestingly enough, it was essentially a year ago now, so I was there Election Day, when America shut down. Very strange thing to be there [for that]. … And then I came back later on in the production—trying to be helpful. It was also fortunate that I trusted both directors and enjoyed—I was able to watch dailies every day on both of them [Blade Runner and Orient Express] and feel like this was going really very well. … ZS: What was it like being on the Blade Runner set? Because clearly a lot went into that movie’s production. MG: Walking on the Blade Runner set was one of the silliest, funniest things I’ve ever done. It was so BIG. … I felt dwarfed, I felt … I felt like it was one of my first times on a set. … ZS: Yeah. MG: I’d never been on anything that scale. … A driver brought us into this campus. I looked up and I see these twelve buildings, each one a giant warehouse. ... I said, Which one’s ours? And he said, All of them. … In Budapest ... it was like an airplane hangar. … [You’re looking at] better versions of what you’d imagined. And you kind of have this weird gravitational shift in your brain, where you let go of how you’d imagined it. And you see the reality and sometimes certainly the reality is better. It was silly and hilarious. I just kept laughing. I couldn’t believe the gorgeousness of everything. ZS: Definitely paid off. Because it looked amazing on screen. MG: Thank you. I’m incredibly proud of it. … It was like a four-and-a-half, five-year job and I enjoyed every minute of it. … I just never stopped feeling grateful to be a part of it. And the fact that it turned out to be a movie people really enjoyed is beyond expectation. The whole thing was always beyond expectation. I couldn’t believe I was writing it, I couldn’t believe they liked what I was writing, I couldn’t believe they shot it, and I couldn’t believe it turned out great. Not surprised it turned out great, because of all the people involved. ZS: Star-studded cast, great director. MG: I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for weeks. ZS: Thanks so much for doing this. MG: Got everything you need? ZS: I’ve got everything I need. Thanks so much. MG: All right. ZS: Bye.   That’s Episode 1 of Zack’s Film Talks at SDSU. Thanks for listening.

Dive into this thin and svelt BONUS EPISODE as Chris and Owen explore their opinions of Blade Runner 2049. Can a sequel made 35 years after the original survive on Ryan Gosling's sexy anti-charisma alone? Or was it foolish to have asked Harrison Ford to fly over in his helicopter in the first place? Blade Runner 2049 is directed by Denis Villeneuve, written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green, and stars (in addition to the two dudes I made fun of above) Robin Wright, Sylvia Hoeks, Ana de Armas, and Jared Leto, who hopefully decided not to send his cast mates dead rats and used condoms this time.

Regisseur Denis Villeneuve, der uns bereits Filme wie "Prisoners" und "Arrival" gebracht hat, zeigt uns mit "Blade Runner 2049" die Fortsetzung des Kultklassikers der 80er Jahre.

Comer and Radulich put the neo-noir cult favorite Blade Runner, On Trial! Blade Runner is a 1982 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. The script was written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. It is a loose adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.  Set in a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019, the story depicts a future in which synthetic humans known as replicants are bioengineered by the powerful Tyrell Corporation to work on off-world colonies. When a fugitive group of replicants led by Roy Batty (Hauer) escape back to Earth, burnt-out Los Angeles cop Rick Deckard (Ford) reluctantly accepts one last assignment to hunt them down. During his investigations, Deckard meets Rachael (Young), an advanced replicant who causes him to question his mission.

Two Blade Runners. Sarah Watt, Max Tarrant, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss the films Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049. Our discussion starts by discussing the bold visual choices in both films, particularly the mastery present in the lighting, as well as the complimenting iconic music. We talk about some of the story elements, particularly the opening, and the keeping of Hampton Fancher as the writer from the original film to the sequel. We then delve into the box office returns on the new film and how it echoes the struggles of the original film. Our discussion then moves on to the great work done by the actors in Blade Runner 2049, particularly Sylvia Hoeks as Luv and Ryan Gosling as Agent K. We all agreed at the strength of the writing and filmmaking around the K and Joi relationship in the new film. We then debate and disagree on the effect of the fight scene between the two Blade Runners in the new film and the success of the Rachel clone special effects. We then get into the sexual politics of the two films and whether or not acknowledging the objectification of women warrants having naked female figures everywhere, as well as the complicated nature of the sex scenes.

Winfree and Radulich review Blade Runner 2049! Blade Runner 2049 is a 2017 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green. A sequel to Blade Runner (1982), the film stars Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, with Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto in supporting roles. Set thirty years after the original film, the story depicts a replicant blade runner named K, who discovers the remains of a once-pregnant replicant. To prevent a possible war between species, K is secretly tasked with finding the child and destroying all evidence related to it, leading him to discover that the child bears a connection to missing blade runner Rick Deckard.

Hampton Fancher, screenwriter/architect for BLADE RUNNER both then & now, joins us to discuss all of the impossibly random steps that led us back to 2049, including: bumping into Ray Bradbury on the street, chasing Charles Bukowski down in New York, and what a Nazi officer's diary taught Philip K. Dick about empathy. When the legend becomes fact, (still) print the fact.

On May 26, 2015, ESOPUS presented an evening of programming at NYC's The Kitchen related to ESOPUS 22: MEDICINE, the nonprofit's 2015 issue devoted to the intersections between medicine and the arts.

This week on Pop Rocket Guy and the gang are joined by film critic Dave White as they do some serious netflix-ing and chilling. The group dives deep on their favorite titles available on the platform, and also discuss the highs and lows of cutting the cable cord. Guy dissects the reasons behind Shonda Rhimes jumping from the ABC ship, and Dave discusses his need from Netflix for more sugary reality TV shows, like Chasing Cameron. The gang compares and contrasts all the streaming services from Hulu to Crackle. Plus we also discover that Guy has a great affinity for the theme song to the Patti Lupone vehicle Life Goes On . Guy and Karen have a semi-shared What We're All About in discussing their love for Difficult People. But Guy is all about a lot this week as he also shares his passion for Big Brother. Dave and Alonso are both all about documentaries, but they couldn't more different films. Alonso talks about the new Ferguson documentary Whose Streets?, and Dave is all about Escapes, a film chronicling the life of Blade Runner writer and actor Hampton Fancher. With Dave White, Alonso Duralde, Karen Tongson, and Guy Branum.

On this edition of the Cinema Clash, Charlie and Hannah shed light on: THE DARK TOWER, a so-so battle of good vs. evil adapted from the Stephen King series; BRIGSBY BEAR, a quirky dramatic comedy with a surprising amount of heart; AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER, an engaging follow-up to Al Gore’s auspicious PowerPoint documentary on climate change; STEP, a feel-good doc about a step team at an all-girls school in inner-city Baltimore; and ESCAPES, an extremely odd documentary about actor-writer Hampton Fancher.

Episode date, April 20th, 2017: I sat down with veteran screen actor, director, and writer Hampton Fancher at his home in Brooklyn, New York. 2017 is a big year for Fancher. First, as the subject of a documentary film about his life and career, titled Escapes, set for a summer release. Second as the co-screenwriter of the feature film Blade Runner 2049, which debuts in October. The film is a follow-up to 1982's massively influential science fiction classic Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott -- a film production that Fancher set in motion when he secured the rights to the source novel (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) from author Philip K.Dick. He then served as screenwriter, before giving way to David Peoples, but maintained an Executive Producer credit. For this year's follow-up, actors Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling utilized a screenplay written by Fancher and Michael Green. This interview was my second with Fancher, some six years after speaking with him for my film site Camera In The Sun about Blade Runner's production, his directing the film The Minus Man, his acting career in television Westerns during the 1950s and 60s, growing up a mixed-race child in 1940s East Los Angeles, and his long love affair with Flamenco dancing -- which took him all the way to Spain as a teenager. During this interview, we discussed Fancher's love of writing, some of his favorite authors, and how their work affected him. He then read some of his poetry and short stories, including from his 2012 book of short works, titled The Shape of the Final Dog, published by Penguin Group imprint Blue Rider Press.

Can the introduction of a character be so good that the character doesn't need describing? Stu and Chas argue about different techniques for introducing characters and whether character descriptions are even necessary. This is important for writers, as we only have words to compensate for the whole range of cinematic expression. And so Chas and Stu explore techniques like introducing characters through action, having other people discuss the character first, ensuring the introduction represents the character's goal/flaw/theme, and many more. The scripts Stu and Chas tackle are... [takes a deep breath]... PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL, BLADE, THE DARK KNIGHT, the BREAKING BAD pilot, GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, BLADE RUNNER, CHILDREN OF MEN, THE WRESTLER, THE SIXTH SENSE, MISS CONGENIALITY, LOCK STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS, AMELIE, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, FIGHT CLUB, ROCKY, JAWS, CABIN IN THE WOODS, and [mutters under breath] STAR WARS.

This week, Zach travels to the future to see if androids dream of electric sheep, or if the dystopian future is just around the corner as he explores Ridley Scott's 1982 film, Blade Runner. BLADE RUNNER Blade Runner is a 1982 American dystopian science fiction thriller film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos. The screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is loosely based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically engineered organic robots called replicants—visually indistinguishable from adult humans—are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation as well as by other "mega-corporations" around the world. Their use on Earth is banned and replicants are exclusively used for dangerous, menial or leisure work on off-world colonies. Replicants who defy the ban and return to Earth are hunted down and "retired" by police special operatives known as "Blade Runners". The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of recently escaped replicants hiding in Los Angeles and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP. It will help ensure Zach on Film continues far into the future! During the show, Zach mentions a video on Vimeo.com. Here it is. During the show, Stephen mentions the book, Future Noir. The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti have know all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling SF novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamerous inside account of how the work of SF's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.
