Hi there! I'm new to this board but defintely not new to BR. I've been an obsessed girl since I was 13. I'm not going to begin to explain the severity of my obsession but you'll soon get the idea. I've been a fan of this site for a long time but am too busy to post to boards most of the time but today everything changes! So I am saying hello to all my fellow BR fanatics. So how obsessed am I? Besides relating my entire life to BR? I am in the middle of finally getting my Bladerunner tattoo sleeve. Its my whole left arm from shoulder to elbow. I've waited over 10 years to do it and I finally did. I will post pictures of it as soon as its done. Many people think I've gone too far but for me there's no such thing! How many of us ever really live? BTW, here is a pic of me with Joe at Chiller in October (yay!): <IMG SRC="http://www3.sympatico.ca/skinjob/SKINJOB/skinjobjoeturkell.jpg" BORDER="0"> _________________ "Equal Rights For Replicants!"

Hi SKINJOB, welcome to the forums! BTW, you better watch yourself around Tyrell, he's a crafty one(after all, he designed your brain:)

YAY! And BR tattoo? I must admit I am not much fond of the tattoo and piercing mania which rules the world these days, but having a little running hunter tattooed somewhere... I am not completely against. \o/

When I met him both of us were working the Chiller Theater convention. I was having breakfast when Jamie Farr sits down across from me and start talking to me (hahah, I had to honestly tell him I had no idea who he was...he said "well, I was on a little television show called MASH" hhahah, well he looks nothing like he used to!) and in walks JOE! They're old friends so as soon as he walks in he exclaims Jamies name and b-lines it for our table (yay!) So Jamie introduces us, he kisses my hand (sly devil) and starts to tell me I might remember him from The Shining. I'm sitting there mouth agape...shaking his hand with both of mine..."You're Joe Turkel....yeah, you were Lloyd the bartender but who cares..you are TYRELL!!!" A big grin works it way across his face and he says "You like Bladerunner?" excitedly, and I replied "Oh, so much I cannot impart to you how deeply obsessed with it I am". At this point I realized I was still shaking his hand....He was so happy, he sat right down and we talked at length about BR, he still loves it very much and for the rest of the weekend he was calling me his wife and giving me kisses every time we ran into eachother, it was so cute! Also, he signed something to me "You have always been my favorite replicant"...that made my YEAR! Incidentally, Joe also feels that Deckard is a replicant. So that's one for our team kids! <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> THANKS FOR THE WELCOME EVERYONE! There may not be many women on the boards but I am here to shake things up a bit!

Omigod, Tyrell is a Casanova incarnation! Save our souls! (btw, now it really looks like from all the people in BR cast only Ford dislikes the movie...)

Well Ford is the only one who's career took off....

Similarly with Star Wars, it has bumped him among the stars and he gave his thanks by blaming the series... <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif"> [ This Message was edited by: BR796164 on 2003-01-20 06:15 ]

Sean Young did her fair share of acting after BR as well...just because they didn't reach superstardom and start doing shitty movies like 'What Lies Beneath", doesn't mean they are not accomplished actors. Ford already had a career before BR, he was in a little series of features called Star Wars or something like that.....

Was it my imagination or did I see Joe Turkell in The Sand Pebbles(with Steve Mcqueen)???It wasn't in any of the bios I have of him and I missed the charactors cast listing at the end of the movie. But I swear it looked alot like him.

thanks an awesome story Skinjob! I have some celtic tattoos (100% Irish Ancestry) a couple knotwork bands on my arms, a celtic cross on my shoulder, the tree of life over my heart and a celtic/tribal sun fusion at the base of my spine. What kind of tattoo do you plan on getting? ridleynoir, i have seen the sand pepples (damn good movie) and yes, Joe is in the movie!

Its more than halfway done. I had a really talented tattooer design it to go all the way around my arm. Its more of a comic book style look than realism..I didn't want any actual actors faces..its dark and very noir. I will post pics as soon as its done. But here's a sneak peek at the bottom half of my outer arm: <IMG SRC="http://www3.sympatico.ca/brtattoo.jpg" BORDER="0"> as for Joe acting, I'm sure he was in that too..he just told me he pretty much quit after those movies. Btw, good to meet some other inky people on the board! Post some pics of your work if you've got them.. Heres one of me and Don Calfa at the same con..I love him! <IMG SRC="http://www3.sympatico.ca/ernie.jpg" BORDER="0"> [ This Message was edited by: SKINJOB on 2003-02-25 09:23 ]

Hi and welcome. That's a pretty extensive tattoo. How long did it take? Okay guys, who's gonna volunteer to get 'tattooed up' like Roy Batty? Wouldn't that be cool - obviously I'm exempt from the exercise, being a coward and all... <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
