It's about Time I watched Blade Runner for the first time last night. I thought it was quite good. I haven't seen AI, and I don't recall much of that recent Tom Cruise movie where he runs around in the future trying to stop crimes that haven't happened yet, but I think that Blade Runner probably does a better job at addressing some of the same issues that these movies bring up. Nowadays, you couldn't have a movie that brought up the subject of sex or relationships with genetic creations/androids/robots/whatever unless you actually had a robot and a person and the complexities of the relationship were put into words by the actors. Blade Runner brought up a lot of interesting theoretical ethical questions without ever actually ever asking those questions. Today, people are too dumb to get it. I listened to MC5, The Big Bang The Best of MC5. Other than Kick Out the Jams, I don't think I had ever listened to them -- which was stupid of me. Of course I knew that they were an influence on lots of the bands that I listen to, but I had just never sought them out and gave them a chance. This was a mistake. I enjoyed most of the record with one listening under my belt. I'll be putting this on the next CD to take to work. (Aside: Have I mentioned that Dick Dale makes for good music to do financial analysis to?) |
