No, Bladerunner doesn't cut it unless you see it in 70mm.  It loses
so much on video.  Well, if you're going to see it for the plot and
not the special effects, the video might be OK, but that's probably
a waste of time.

I say, patent the mouse and don't get ulcers until our friends
the genetic engineers can actually *do* something scary.
Let's burn that bridge when we come to it.
