A Review of Blade Runner and Other Sci-Fi Favorites

When watching Blade Runner you should try not to compare the movie with the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Thats a book written by the best science fiction writer of all time, Philip K. Dick. The mechanical pets are absent but there is a monologue discussing the absence of real animals in the future in the movie. I agree that the ending is quite different but this is necessary because of the different time and character development.

It should be pointed out that Blade Runner features fine casting, good special effects and has a complex storyline and premise. All these aspects of the movie justice to Dock's writing style and genius mind.

Rachel played by the stunning Hollywood actress Sean Young fits perfectly in her stoic replicant/human role. Another famous actor taking part in the movie is Harrison Ford who with his smoky voice is a hunter seeking out the hiding replicants. The interesting role of Pris, a replicant ballerina, is played by Daryll Hannah. With amazing make up and costuming she gives a special touch to the movie.

The soundtrack of the film couldn't be better, it is utterly scintillating. It is a wonderful compilation of wailing wet sounds of the sax, drums and consistently expresses in Blues and Jazz which are romantic and surreal. This soundtrack relieves the epic, daunting and depressing bleakness of the reality of the future, just as the famous author Philip K. Dick has depicted it.

The movie is frequently categorized in the cyberpunk genre-set. The main reason for this is because the action takes place in 2019 Los Angelis. There are cyber technology of cloning, hyped-up surveillance tools, and advanced investigative strategies. The latter are carried out by the Harrison Ford character, blade Runner Deckard.

The director of this masterpiece is none other than Ridley Scott. He will always be remembered with such films as Andromeda Strain and blockbusters as Thelma and Louise and Gladiators. The movie is visually dark and you can even physically feel the darkness and the depression. The premise is true to the novel. The main plot is to show how precious human being and other life creatures are versus the technological displacement we face.

Usually I would suggest you to read the book and then watch the movie but I retrain from offering you that as far as Blade Runner is concerned. As the comparison you will be making is going to interfere with your experience of this marvellous SF movie then don't read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep first. Watch the film, one of the best of all times, and then read the book. After watching Blade Runner you will be flabbergasted at the details of the future life, mentality and morality.

Online Dating: How To Outflank 90% of Your Competition

Youve probably read it a 100 times.

The battle is either won or lost before it begins. Thats Sun Tzu the brilliant, ancient military strategist.

Youve learned it from the best sports coaches the game is won or lost before it begins.

From outstanding athletes, attorneys, political candidates - mental preparation and a commitment of the spirit to victory before the game, the trial, the election, will often determine victory.

You are entering an arena right now. As real as a boxing ring, a tennis court, a courtroom, a job interview.

Your playing partner may not in the same room as you, but she is in your arena. And you need the same mental preparation that an athlete needs to triumph in any arena.

Now its time to make an important mental shift. Are you ready?

There is a competition going on in this arena, yes. But you are not competing against women to beat them into getting them into bed.

The competition is with yourself. It is to see if you defeat, or let go of your lesser self, and craft your best self by first mastering the signifiers with which you represent yourself.

The women at the other end of the fiber optic cable are not enemies to conquered, but your allies in mutual joy and exploration. Women want you to be an awesome, attentive, strong guy. Offer her that, and victory is both of yours.

But there's one thing you need to know about women.

They are much smarter than you.

According to Barbara and Allen Pease, who wrote Why Men Dont Listen and Women Cant Read Maps, while men need to witness tears or a temper tantrum or be slapped on the face before he even has a clue that anything is going on

As childbearers and nest defenders, women needed the ability to sense subtle mood and attitude changes in others. What is commonly called womens intuition is mostly a womans acute ability to notice small details and changes in the appearance or behavior of others Nest defenders, to safeguard their familys survival, needed to be able to pick up small changes in the behavior of their offspring that could signal pain, hunger, injury, aggression or depression. Males, being lunch chasers, were never around the cave long enough to read nonverbal signals or the ways of interpersonal communication.

In other words, women are EXPERTS at reading signifiers. So you need to become expert in how you deploy them!

Far and away the most important set of signifiers you send are those that convey weakness or strength in a man. At reading these, women are Einsteins. They are bloodhounds, they are nuclear-powered Weakness Sniffing Machines.

Thats their job. Thats their wiring. Dont fight it. As the Taoists like to say, ride the horse in the direction in which it is going. Roll with it. Smartly.

What's your lesson here?

Women often say they like vulnerability in a man. But dont make the mistake of confusing vulnerability and weakness. Without understanding this key difference, you are sunk!

Men who succeed online are careful to build a structure with their photos and with their opening profile lines of

Strength
Authenticity
Reliability
Trustworthiness and
The moral high ground

These signifiers must be delivered in both a subtle and sure-handed way.

Step Two, then, is to lay in the vulnerable center, or what women call heart.

It is to your advantage that dating sites are rife with guys who open by calling themselves things like, NiceGuy643 or ANiceMan or YourMomWillLikeMe.

They think they are being cute, but they are, to put a fine point on it repulsive to women. Women can sniff out the desperation, the neediness, the submissiveness of these men. They start weak and women rarely read past the first lines.

Strength first, vulnerability second. Sprinkled with humor, and subtle promises of sensual wakefulness and most importantly - a life more exciting than theirs, and you will find that success is only a simple click away.
