   Saw Blade Runner last night.  Loved it.  Vivid, resonant, credible
view of a bleak, depressing future.  Incredible texture and attention
to detail.  Paper-thin characters, though Harrison Ford does a very
good job of making it appear otherwise, and it's even occasionally 
touching.  Most of the action is internal, coming in feelings: how the
replicants feel about their state, how people feel threatened by the
replicants, how Deckert feels about offing them.  This is a watershed
movie; there are good reasons to dislike it (none of which matter to
me) and very good reasons to be thrilled by it.
   Note for P.K. Dick fans: supposedly Dick and director Ridley Scott
fought about the look of the film.  God knows why; it has an uncanny
match to the feel of a Dick book.
