Sci-Fi Friday

We were adventurous tonight and decided that after dinner at Indique in Clevland Park, we would catch the 10pm show of Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I should have guessed something was awry when I couldn't find a trailer with a simple google search.

We saw the movie at the Uptown Theater, which is the best place to watch a movie in the D.C. area. It is an old school theater with only one huge screen. There are even balcony seats. Normally, when we catch a flick there it is a big screen blockbuster like Lord of the Rings, Superman Returns, Spiderman, etc. and you wait in a very long line to get in and it's packed. Tonight, it was a sparsely filled with sci-fi geeks (of whom, I admit, I can be one) who all looked like slightly different versions of The Lone Gunmen from X-Files.

Anyway, the best part of the movie experience was the fact that we got to sound off to Ridley Scott about our movie experience with a survey. I've always liked giving my opinion whether it be for politics or commerce. Maybe that is why I ended up in D.C.

I am sorry to inform Ridley Scott that we were not fans of Blade Runner. In fact, the height of my disappointment was when I found out that Harrison Ford had to kill 4 more "replicants" and I would have to sit through that. There were also esoteric references that we were not smart enough to get like the unicorn running around. If anyone is a fan, please explain this stuff to us in the comment section. I really wanted to like this movie.
