I am excited. I am near beside myself with excitement. It is almost palpable.
Why?
Because they are about to release to the general populace the definitive version of what most people in the know consider to be the greatest sci-fi film ever made. They are bringing out the boxed version of Bladerunner! Cry hosanna! Let joy be unconfined and bring on the dancing girls! Actually, you can pretty much bring on the dancing girls anytime you like! I don’t mind. Really.
Having just ordered this fine example of the genre, via our friends Amazon, I now have the unenviable task of sitting and waiting in eager anticipation. I could argue that it isn’t fair but there again it has taken 25 (count ‘em) years for Ridley Scott to be in a position to release the edition that he is finally happy to call the one that he wanted to make in the first place, so it would be a touch churlish to moan too much…
They do say that the best things in life are worth waiting for, huh? To those of you who are true believers I need not say another thing. You will already understand quite why I am so excited. To those of you who are still yet new to this phenomenon, I would have to say that there are many, many reasons why you should consider rectifying this situation in your lives. One good place to start would be here. So there you have it.
Time to start dreaming of electric sheep again…
