BR on Mythbusters

Watching this new episode as i type- Keri relaxes Grant and Tori by providing them with what they find really relaxing. Grant gets 2 puppies, Tori gets to watch Bladerunner Directors Cut on a laptop.

I hope Grant is in a different room or those puppies could get very distracting

I saw one episode and found it somehow tedious. They could compress it into 45 minutes.

Adam Savage is an Indiana Jones fan. He replicated an Indy whip when he was young. He wears some nice nearly Indy hats. An Akubra Campdraft in the early episodes and an Akubra Bushman in later episodes. Lately he wears a U.S. made cowbow hat that's supposed to be a Good Bad Ugly replica. I worked with a guy who's second job was near the Mythbusters warehouse, and he gave me directions. About a 20 minute drive. "We are probably filming-do not disturb" sign on the door. These guys are my homeboys! ...... Also, I live about 3 miles from Oracle Corp. HQ, the round silver towers that were the HQ of the robot manufacturing company in "Centenial Man" that Robin Williams film where he starts out as a robot then morphs into something like a replicant? I always thought of that place as spectacular like the Tyrell building. Couldn't understand why they needed so much space to make some software- thought it WOULD evolve into something usefull- like a robotics operation. I worked on that same property in 1973, before there was Oracle, when that acerage was occupied by "Marine World, Africa USA" . Dolphins killer whales, elephants, tigers, chimps, parrots. Funnest job I ever had.

Adam Savage is a pretty big Blade Runner fan himself. I think it was posted here before with his interview with Popular Mechanics on BR. I actually own a resin casting made by him of his version of Deckard's gun, and got to interview him online about it. He is a big fellow geek for sure.

Blade Runner at 25: Why the Sci-Fi F/X Are Still Unsurpassed

A quarter-century after Ridley Scott's dark vision of the future changed the face of filmmaking, special-effects maestro and MythBuster Adam Savage offers an appreciation.


lol...I recently posted this at KippleZone Forums. It's an article that's been out for a while. But, I find it is worth noting and worthy repetitive listening. (I'm a big Mythbuster fan.)
