Popular Mechanics has an article which celebrates the quarter century birthday of Blade Runner, the seminal sci-fi cyper-punk futuristic science fiction classic by directory Ridley Scott.

Twenty-five years ago, the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner became an instant science fiction classic. Set in a sodden, squalid Los Angeles of 2019, the neo-noir masterpiece influenced a generation of filmmakers and video-game designers. Long before I teamed up with Jamie Hyneman to form the MythBusters, I was a special-effects modelmaker, and Scott’s cyberpunk gem almost instantly became the most important film in the canon of movies I love.

I am a pretty big Blade Runner fan and have seen it over 10 times, with many viewing sessions purposely set at an hour pass midnight. I’ll slurp cup noodles and put on some killer headphones while lying all horizontal on the couch. Even better when its raining because everything gets totally surreal and you actually feel that you’re way ahead in the future, with now being just a dream of some sort.
