One of my favorite sci-fi movies! I watched it when I was little many times!

I saw it at the drive thru when young, and did not see it again for 50 years.

I was astounded at just how *good* it was, absolutely amazing. One of the Classics.

The furniture, to the detective: "We'll make it cold, like winter used to be!"

Also, Blade Runner. Roy Batty's incept date is Jan.16, 2019. He has a four year lifespan, setting him down one year after Soylent Green, in the year 2023.

Do you think the prophets were trying to tell us something?

Hmm. Reading it now, it looks like a prediction of what the "Conservative Elites" want to have...a return to medieval feudalism but with high-tech comforts. Is this why so many of the really moneyed class - the billionaires you've never heard of as well as the ones in public like Musk - are throwing all their financial might behind Trump - a meat-puppet of the first order - so their chosen 'boy', JD Vance, after ascending to the Presidency through a 25th Amendment move, can enact their Project 2025 Agenda for them? How's THAT for a conspiracy, you guys?

Even the liberal press with its extreme bias against Trump is publishing articles that state more billionaires support Harris, which only goes to show you believe what you want to believe, the hallmark of a conspiracy theorist as the term is commonly bandied about.

Maria, WTF are you talking about. Trump wants the economy to open up, to have more entrepeneuership, more manufacturing, more middle class, more opportunity for folks other than the service sector with its servile minimum wage. It is the Dems that want servitude, manufacturing overseas, high tax rates, fiat money to support non-productive workers, dependence on the government, high energy prices, tax, tax, tax and spend spend spend. The power hungry billionaires are all on the Left side, knowing they will maintain power with a Leftist government. Hmmm, isn't THAT Fascism?
