Well, I wasn't having lunch with Ridley Scott the other day, but...  I do have
some very good friends who work inside the film industry in various positions
and locations.  I've known them for a few years now and have NEVER been mislead
by any of them about the kind of things that go on "inside the business", since
I've now been able to see some of it in action.  Of course it's not the kind
of stuff that Time magazine is going to print, but there were considerable
rumours flying around in the business before Bladerunner was ever released that
Scott was having troubles with the Distribution company.  When the movie came
out and the soundtrack jarred so obviously with the film...

When it comes down to it, I believe my friends who do have some touch with the
inside of the business.  These guys are mostly techs and cameramen that work in
and around the NY area, but there has been more than once where they've
mentioned something and two weeks later I'll read about it somewhere.  I don't
need any other sources.
