Does anyone disagree that the “63” in Perry’s 5th(?) username is his IQ?
Agreed. They aren’t robots nor androids. They are living creatures as intelligent as human beings…if not more so. Hence the bioengineered short lifespan.
I may have a low IQ but I don't think I bumped my widdle head and flew up to heaven and then came back.
No “may” about it, Perry.
Your emotional and intellectual development is clearly retarded as indicated by your inability to have an adult conversation. You are stunted at the level of a 12 year old.
I’m curious if it’s due to accident or genetics. Did you drown once and spent too long without oxygen? Did your parents have you when they were in their 40s or 50s? Born to a family in West Virginny that had too many generations of cousins marrying cousins? A real life version of “The Hills Have Eyes”?

Do you ever get tired being you? It must be a dark shitting place to spend all day in you mind.
“You mind”? Perry, you’re the retard derailing every intellectual thread on the forum. I enjoy poking and testing you like a lab rat in an effort to further understand the limits of your intellect…..such as they are.
I also find it interesting you don’t believe in God and/or an afterlife. Is that because you blame God for allowing you to be born a mental defective?

Ahem, I hadn't posted anything on this thread for a long while. YOU came on here and just started insulting me (as per usual).
look in a mirror, fuckwad.
Was it because you lost your computer privileges at your facility, Perry? Were you a bad little boy?
The fuckwad is this retard:
Did your mom give you syphillis again?
If you weren’t so retarded, Perry, you’d know I’m 70 and both my parents are dead.
Did your mommy give you up the minute you popped out of the chute and she saw you were deformed?
Is that why you hate God?

I remember seeing it in 1982. I was 27, still naive and saw the world through the eyes of an optimist. Watching it was not only visually dark but dystopian dark. I loved sci-fi but had never seen it so openly "we are fucked in the future" this way. At least not onscreen. The song In The Year 2525 was my first clue but I was still a teen. Technology seems to be bending us toward that future.......especially if we let the oligarchs make all the decisions.......just my take. Return to your shit show of demeaning each other..........it seems to be the only real sport here.......
Oh Perry. Is that the retardation speaking? A fantasy of mommy? Do you scour the Internet for old dead women to pull your widdle pud?
Why do you have these constant fantasies of sex with mommy, dead or alive? Is it because she abandoned you?
I was so accustomed to seeing heroic protagonists in sci-fi (Luke Skywalker, Captain Kirk, Buck Rogers, Spock, Princess Leia) that the anti-hero protagonist Deckard seemed striking and unique to the genre at that time.
Blade Runner is a unique classic in many ways with anti-hero fighting “the system” being only one. A Clockwork Orange was much darker and more villainous than anti-hero, although I think the anarchists would like Alex as a hero. Mad Max also preceded Deckard by a few years, but that was in an apocalyptic future, not a “civilized” thriving society.
Batman was a comic book anti-hero, but wasn’t depicted as one until years later. The campy TV was almost embarrassing to the genre. LOL
You're right. Mad Max is a great example.
Sure, the morally ambiguous anti-hero protagonist has been around in film for ages: Rick in Casablanca, Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now.
I had just never seen that type of protagonist in the science fiction genre I had been watching up to then.
Blade Runner is a classic movie of a “morally ambiguous” future. Mad Max was simply surviving in an apocalypse. Deckard, as you pointed out, was conflicted by his duties and obligations as a police officer and the morality of treating sentient beings as slaves and disposable trash….including one he fell in love with.
Did I scare off Perry or did he have me put on one-way ignore as predicted? Maybe his mommy cut off his computer privileges for rubbing himself to pictures of her?
