All of these came after Blade Runner, and were very influenced by it.
Yes, I really live in Los Angeles. Srsly. And yeah, life really does imitate art here. Especially now we've got those video billboards. No spinners yet. But I suppose that's next.

8) One thing about Blade Runner is that it's like the ultimate hollywood movie because when I'm watching it, :!: it brings to mind so much about life and how it moves and moments in it cause me to love movies so much more. Whether a movie reminds me of br or blade runner reminds me of another movie , blade runner is a movie that's like a magic box full of movies and I respect the truth of that .

Anyone for 6th Day (clone, eyes and memory).
The shrink talking of the turtle on its back was a clincher.

Around the last 3 min. of the black and white original movie D.O.A. ,our main character finds himself in a building that looks similar to the place our fav toy maker lives in , elevader included . There's also gun play in this scene. It's about a man that's poisoned and must find out who the culprit is.

I went with my kids to see Penelope yesterday and there was a scene when she is in the outside world for the first time. It's night, the city is all of skyscrapers and neon, the streets are crowded, then some Hare Kirshnas pass by.

It wasn't rainig though. :wink:

That *IS* the Bradbury Building.

That end sequence in the original DOA definitely influenced the use of the Bradbury in BR.
