I thought Blade Runner was boring until I moved to Los Angeles
<p>I first watched <em>Blade Runner</em> on a cold, unremarkable February night in Brooklyn. I believe it was <em>The Final Cut</em>. I was 26 years old. The mid-twenties is when white men who own at least 1 Vampire Weekend album become very passionate about very generic things: craft beers, vinyl records, improv. <em>Blade Runner</em> falls pretty snugly amongst those things. The film itself is far from generic (if you ask me). But it’s the fandom surrounding it that can usually elicit an eye roll.</p>

<p>Depending on whom you ask, <em>Blade Runner</em> is one of the greatest science fiction films ever made or it’s the most overrated and boring. Based (loosely) on the Philip K. Dick novel <em>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?,</em> <em>Blade Runner</em> is set in 2019 and follows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a hardboiled, cynical detective whose expertise is finding and killing replicants — android slave labor that look, feel, and sound like human beings; they even have acquired memories programmed into them by The Tyrell Corporation — their powerful manufacturer. </p>
