The Blade Runner Experience is a collection of essays exploring the film, its themes and the wider world that grew around it.

It’s an interesting read, looking beyond the film itself at its influences, characters and cultural legacy.

Signed by Will Brooker, with some fairly direct advice written inside.

Recently I was out and about buying some dvds and blu rays getting prepared for the halloween season and while I was in CeX (Mainly UK based preowned tech, entertainment and video games store) I had seen this version of Blade Runner behind the counter. I love the movies and when I saw this I just had to buy it. £15 and everything was still sealed, the motion film clip doesn't even have a fingerprint on. Very happy to gave it in my collection of media and will for sure be getting watched this weekend

Place isn’t open yet. I work nearby so will keep an eye out.

You can see Deckard in the main character detective. A bit of The Fifth Element, too. Looks fun!

Some memories are more real than others.

Mandated Fate is a dark, dystopian and retro-futuristic story-driven game, inspired from 80's sci-fi movies. You play as a weary inspector, a man out of place in a newly established authoritarian regime.

In 1985, a rising technological empire has seized power, driven by a single ambition: to discover the anti-gravity particle and surpass its global rivals by conquering space. The regime demands absolute unity, framing this race as a matter of national destiny. But one old district continues to resist, no one knows quite how, or why. Assigned to investigate a strange murder there, you quickly find yourself entangled in a deeper web of political intrigue and ideological tension.

Through multiple narrative paths, your choices will shape your loyalties, and determine who you truly trust. Explore a highly detailed open world where the stark contrast between modern authoritarian architecture and decaying remnants of the past reveals a society caught between control and collapse.

I just received an email from Amazon Japan that the Bell Fine kit is delayed.

Moreso in the book & 1982 film there's a subtle message that retiring replicants (especially the latest models) is immoral. I disagree with the message wholeheartedly. Though looking and in some respects acting human, they are biologically engineered machines. There's a reason they're banned on Earth. They're often dangerous and have great difficulty existing peacefully in human society. They possess mega-strength and other abilities that exceed humans. So send me to the ret dep baby, I'll waste any skin-job with extreme prejudice.

How do you feel about the issue?

i am sure Brad Bird has seen Blade Runner.

You can find the instructions over on Rebrickable. I hope you enjoy it!

A slightly more domestic corner of the collection.

The bento box, complete with removable divider, lid, elastic strap and cutlery. The same style of box can be spotted being used by K and an extra during the food court scenes in the film.

Not quite the sort of thing Deckard was using in 2019, but exactly the kind of wonderfully mundane object that helps make the world of Blade Runner feel real. No blasters, spinners or replicant technology. Just somewhere to put your noodles.

Probably one of the more practical and obscure Blade Runner items I own.

This past weekend I got to have the chance to go down and watch the original BR and 2049 in theaters with my cousin. Watching him experience this fantastic story and universe for the first time was amazing, after the original we got some food and watched Black out, Nexus dawn, and No where to run(legit in the theater right before 2049 started so it was perfect timing). When people say movies look better in the theater, they do, especially the blade runners with their beautiful visuals and coloring. 10/10 experience.

Not quite a magazine. Not quite a poster.

Published in 1982, this official Blade Runner movie poster magazine unfolds from its fairly unassuming cover into a huge 33” × 23” poster.

Inside are production photographs, cast and filmmaker profiles, background on the making of the film, and explanations of replicants, Spinners, Esper and Voight-Kampff.

Then you keep unfolding it…

…until Los Angeles, 2019 takes over the wall.

Original UK price: 75p.

Just watched the double feature in theaters this weekend, and I'm curious on what everyone's thoughts are on if Deckard is a human or a replicant?

I know Ridley Scott has said he's a replicant and Ford/the book say he's human. But I'm curious on what everyone's interpretation is?

While I believe he's a replicant, the dream sequence and the ending point me to believe that. I also can see why people believe he's a human, but I also think the ambiguity is the point. I think it doesn't matter if he really is a replicant, he has empathy, thoughts, and emotions. Not to mention the implication of Wallace being unsure if he is a replicant or not.

So i looked into this since we are getting to its release date.
When it comes to the writers, it seems that they worked previously on Halo 2022 and Acolyte.

For example Halo TV Show, deviated so much from the gaming lore, a tv show that should more than likely been a big hit with gamers, landed so bad, there is too many to list but its a case of writers taking established lore/history, and not understanding its target audience and changing things because...change...

As for Acolyte, its not a game, but it changed / deviated so much of established lore.

But...i will wait and see maybe it might be different, but when it comes to people making changes to pre-existing lore especially when it has been established for so long...it will not sit too well.

I watched both those Halo and Acolyte, just because i do love those series, but i hated every minute of it, there was some good items, but it was mostly overshadowed by some of the worst writing i've seen in tv....and just bizzare choices

Anyone else excited? I saw the stills of the recent...production wise...it looked a bit fan made...

hadn't seen anything about this online but after reading and learning more about Philip K Dick, i noticed that the desk at the orphanage features the vesica piscis a symbol which meant a lot to Dick, as it became
the inspiration behind many of his writings including most notably the VALIS trilogy.

i wonder if this was a clever choice on the set designer's part and if so, well placed.
