Blade Runner (1982)

Blade_Runner has become one of the best all time Sci-Fi movies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner#Plot

A.I. and robotics in the quintessential dystopian setting.

The source material from a fantastic PKD book adapted into an amazing atmospheric movie is sublime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner#Development

Blade_Runner certainly fits into the category of a Cyberpunk_Film.

Are Audiences Too Lazy to Appreciate Blade Runner 2049?

https://www.wired.com/2017/10/geeks-guide-blade-runner-2049
BR 2049 is an excellent continuation from the first movie. Just like STAR+WARS and TESB, Alien and Aliens, The Terminator and T2, just to compare a few.

https://www.wired.com/story/blade-runner-2049-what-happened
The first Blade Runner movie did OK in the theaters but over the years, more & more people realized that its such a fantastic movie. The same thing can be said about BR 2049. http://bladerunnermovie.com

Blade Runner Sky Cars, etc.

Albert Robida:Futuristic_Trilogy
The_Circles_of_Power, The_Fifth_Element & Blade Runner all provide excellent visuals of how sky cars could interact with GPS navigation & virtual buffers.

The Blade Runner Spinner car:
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3320748288/tt0083658 ,
Such a cars would not only have an integrated computer, but in some cases, its own chauffeur Data unit. But don't expect to see anyone like Brent Spiner in a Spinner just yet. Part of the mythology of the Greys involves a similar concept. Some are bio-mechanical beings that are a part of the ship.

Blade+Runner like The+Terminator movies, provided a fine example of robots being camouflaged as humans.

Movies on BD and DVD, etc.

There are many Versions of Blade+Runner & perhaps Blade_Runner:The_Final_Cut is the best overall. However, due to all the differences some like to have all versions of a favorite movie, whenever possible. web.archive.org/web/20090319034524/http://www.scifi.com/sfw/column/sfw17153.html

Prometheus:

I like this persons observations & summery of the Prometheus movie at...
www.weylandchronicles.com/2012/06/a-prometheus-fans-analysis-of-the-movie-video
Prometheus could eventually go through a multi-version distribution stream like Blade Runner has.
www.prometheusnews.net/movie/deleted-alternate-scenes
At the very least, an expanded Blu-ray (BD) version of Prometheus in addition to the theatrical release, should be released in October.

Blade Runner 2049 is a Worthy Heir to a Classic

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/10/blade-runner-2049-is-a-worthy-heir-to-the-classic-original/542205
Both movies intersect very well with each other.

Although Blade+Runner 2049 doesn't have the same level of Cyberpunk visuals as the first movie, they are both excellent counterparts.

Artificial Animals and Digital Pets...

 https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Artificial_animal

There can be many reasons to have fake animals run by A.I.

https://filmgoblin.com/goblin/animals-of-blade-runner-part-1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_pet

https://moviepaws.com/2017/10/22/owls-snakes-and-unicorns-the-animals-of-blade-runner

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_pet#Digital_pets_over_real_pets

Someday, Artificial pets and animals in general, might be mistaken for real ones. There could be a need to have ID & tracking tech in almost any life form to indicate whether its real or synthetic.

Thus, Artificial people or Replicants might eventually become indistinguishable from genuine humans. This would also require natural humans to be constantly verified. Managed by AI, of course.

The Digital Labyrinth (TDL)

TDL is an intersection between news and entertainment, mythology and technology...

Referencing books, music, movies and B$ in general.

Anything from urban_legends to science & fiction, to high-tech urban culture, is referenced.


A lot things are just randomly referenced, but if this world is part of a cosmic simulation, how much of anything is random?

Occasionally, a placeholder post will be made so that eventually there will be some added pertinent links.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Engine 1726 
https://computerhistory.org/blog/gullivers-engine , 
https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?entryid=2334 

This blog is a portal into referencing popular_culture and various POVs on Architecture, A.I., Cyberpunk, Engineering, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, Quantum+Computers, Urban Issues & other technologies expressed through science & fiction. There is some occasional referenced content with mature themes. Such as some sarcasm and toilet humor...

Of course exploring The+Simulation+Hypothesis is one of the main themes, as well as pondering The+Nature+Of+Reality, in general. There is also an occasional metaphysical angle at TDL.

In late 1966 there was Shore_Leave_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) and then there was WestWorld_(1973 film). Name your adventure scenario...

Unless otherwise indicated, this referencing blog is of a non commercial nature. 

Millions of people have written billions of words posted on various websites and blogs. Why try to rewrite or copy what they have already done? Thus, as a referencing blog, readers here are constantly provided with links to many sources from various perspectives. This blog has a lot of movie and TV spoilers

Some posts might remain in draft mode for several weeks or months until a certain amount of info is gathered. While other posts might start out with just one or few links with some more things to be added later on.

The hypertext is quite an interesting concept & invention & is used extensively here. This multi-branch reference blog provides many links to other websites, especially specific web pages so that readers can find pertinent links. The search_engine keeps evolving & searchenginewatch.com is a good site to get lots of info. The website, cnet.com is one of the best technology sites around.

Wikipedia.org is referenced here quite a lot for general purposes. Whether its the Star_Wars universe or the Star_Trek universe, all referenced links here are intended to direct readers to the various proprietors of websites for a more in depth perspective. Technovelgy.com is one of the best websites showing transitions from sci-fi concepts to technological reality. And cyberpunkreview.com is sublime for its observations & presentations. http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/cyberpunk-movies-by-decade

Characters in books, movies & TV series like The Observer, can motivate some people to think about the concept of time travel or a parallel_universe

{An idea is a form (such as a thought) formed by consciousness (including mind) through the process of ideation. Human capability to contemplate ideas is associated with the ability of reasoning, self-reflection, and of the ability to acquire and apply intellect, intuition, inspiration, etc.. Further, ideas give rise to actual concepts, or mind generalizations, which are the basis for any kind of knowledge whether science or philosophy or impulsiveness.}

Idea: John_Locke
{In striking contrast to Plato’s use of idea [3] is that of John Locke in his masterpiece An Essay Concerning Human Understanding in the Introduction where he defines idea as "It being that term which, I think, serves best to stand for whatsoever is the object of the understanding when a man thinks, I have used it to express whatever is meant by phantasm, notion, species, or whatever it is which the mind can be employed about in thinking ; and I could not avoid frequently using it." He said he regarded the book necessary to examine our own abilities and see what objects our understandings were, or were not, fitted to deal with. In his philosophy other outstanding figures followed in his footsteps - Hume and Kant in the 18th century, Arthur Schopenhauer in the 19th century, and Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Karl Popper in the 20th century. Locke always believed in good sense - not pushing things to extremes and on taking fully into account the plain facts of the matter. He considered his common sense ideas "good-tempered, moderate, and down-to-earth."} http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/John_Locke, http://abc.go.com/shows/lost/timeline

Technology can be used to reveal codes & clues about reality, but it can also suppress things.
So unless people really want to question reality & study various perspectives, many things remain hidden or lost. http://www.thelostsymbol.com/main.html

“Learners may study either history or physics, or perhaps only Renaissance history and astrophysics. People tend to become experts in highly specialized fields, learning more and more about less and less.”James Burke

"When the soldiers of the future want to communicate, they’ll read each other’s minds."
No matter how advanced technology can get, I'm still amazed that the concept of the crystal ball can be traced back to ancient times. Its not like they got the idea from watching TV. Then again, how did primitive folks even think of a talking flat screen technologies, otherwise known as a magic mirror? Its like they were tapping into a psychic Internet. Of course, how can anyone ever prove that there could be a Cosmic Internet?
Given enough time, humanity could build a galactic size & eventually a Cosmic Internet.

Yet, the crystal ball, the talking mirror along with psychic perception, might very well be indicative that an ancient Cosmic Internet already exists. Indeed, the universe could be running like a vast cosmic program. Jim Elvidge has produced quite a fascinating book, www.theuniversesolved.com and website about the nature of reality.
So many people already believe that the universe is the result of a powerful Force or creator. Science is beginning to recognize the level of organized complexity that is binding various things together on several levels. Eventually quantum computers could run extremely detailed life simulation programs. However, thousands of years before the concept of the supercomputer was the cosmic Akashic_records, reincarnation & The_Wheel_of_Life.html, but according to some we aren't suppose to think of the universe as being like a vast hard drive of space & time. Well even as a Metaphor or Analogy a lot of clues are revealed.

Of course, some of the answers remain indefinitely elusive.
