I tried to watch Blade Runner a couple of times. "Pretentious" sounds about right.

What about Sean Connery's rape scene with James Bond and Pussy Galore?

Those were different times in the movies.

I watched Blade Runner for the first time in about 15 years the other day and one thing struck me. The scene with Deckard and Rachel and he's telling her to say "kiss me" and "put your hands on me" and he's handling her roughly etc... My first thought was "This is a bloody rape scene!" Easily the most pretentious, overrated sci-fi movie ever made.

replicants are synthetic "humans" -- virtually indistinguishable from "natural" humans. cyborgs are a meld between human and machines -- like the flesh and blood layer over the mechanical skeleton in the terminator series.
