rob05c mk Cards are broken across the site, across browsers and devices for me. (Also, you guys added a preview mode?)

    Ridley Scott has now had 30 years to polish his baby and I gotta tell ya - the "Final Cut" is pretty damn confusing still.

And here I thought I was just really dense.

Fuckers were literally ad-libbing psychobabble on set.

See this asshole?

Ridley Scott loved him as the bartender in The Shining so cast him as Tyrell without so much as making him read a line. Which worked out well for Joe Turkel because he couldn't remember a single line. This is why his dialogue is stilted, stunted, and delivered over the shoulder of whoever he's talking to.

Don't get me wrong - I love Blade Runner. Always will. But it is a quintessential example of reach exceeding grasp and an archetypal flawed masterpiece.

Fixed the card.

The preview button? That's been there for quite some time. :)
