Blade Bummer

Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is 25 years old, so when I came across this article in Popular Mechanics from a FX guy, arguing that the effects in BR have not been bettered, I thought it must definitely be worth reading. Don't bother. It claims to be four pages long, which is fine if your idea of a page is a paragraph. It has nothing new to say at all. And there's an extremely intrusive audio on the first page that comes on whether you like it or not. All bad.

I'll wait for someone else to mark the anniversary properly.
