LOL.

If you can't (or won't) understand Cityspeak, the guys at the White Dragons will translate for you, especially if you're a Brade Runnah.

• If you can afford a real snake you don’t have to work at a place like Taffey’s

• Artificial owls are very expensive

• Death is a little out of my jurisdiction

• Spider babies eat their mothers

• Running through panes of glass hurts more than running around them

• C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate

Actually we have a few "talking traffic lights" here in LA. Yes, they do say "cross now" but they say "wait" instead of "don't walk." Haven't seen (or heard) any Downtown, but there was one in North Hollywood at the crossing between the Orange Line busway terminus and the Red Line subway station. However, something must have gotten screwed up with the thing because it doesn't announce anymore. It just beeps repeatedly when the light is red.

Oh well, they should install them at the corner of Broadway and Third, where the Bradbury Building is. Actually someone should do a "Ridleyvision" art installation there which would include video loops of what was shown on the screens attached to the traffic signals on the "Ridleyville" set.

BTW: a map of the historic area. Note also the 2nd St. Tunnel.

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) When every thing has become dark around you like the world in br ,raining all the time, dark ,swampy and seaming like the sun will never shine ,remember the end of the international version, the sun shines through and a new day appears because I think this is in the mind, or heart if you will, of deck and rach because their love is alive and so are they and although this light may not be seen by others ,it's seen by them because they believed in going forward into what others may have said could not be so but IS SO!! Believe there can be a better day, that's more than matter. :idea: In a certain respect I believe that ending can work ,I mean am I supposed to give up hope on what can be here or beyond! Has ridley thought about it this way?

If you smash your head through a wall it hurts.

We left right after the riots so that is my parting memory of LA. The year we had floods, fires, quakes and then a riot.....Image

But it is a fun town to visit.Image

Buy an umbrella before I visit the future. :P
Brush my teeth and wash my mouth out with listerine, after kissing a replicant that's been living at Tyrells place. :P
Take karate and carry a taser before taking on a replicant. :P
If you wanna be cool as Deckard ,don't carry an umbrella,just use a news paper and run around, getting soaked chasing replicants, that are probably gonna die in 2 hours. :P

things learned from bladerunner

In 2019, widescreen Hi-Def LCD and Plasma screens will be obsolete and we will revert back to CRT tv sets turned on their side with magnifying screens :lol:

What I learned:
    That I get nervous when I take tests
    Apparently some serpent once corrupted man
What I didn't learn:
    How much time I have
    What a tortoise looks like (although I know what you mean)
"Her psychological profile looked like a combination porno tape and a very serious traffic accident."

I learned that: :D

1. They don't advertise for killers in the newspaper.
2. It's quite an experience to live in fear.
3. The owl is artificial.

I didn't learn: :(

1. Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem, bitte!
2. Lófaszt! Nehogy már! Te vagy a Blade, Blade Runner!
3. Captain Bryant toka. Meni-o mae-yo.
