Blade Runner

By -
I'm going to be completely honest and say that I am the kind of person who enjoys no-brainer, fluffy, lighthearted movies. So when I started to watch Blade Runner, I really expected no more than that. The deepest I believe the plot could have gotten would be one similar to a Minority Report-type film. But no... it was much, much deeper than that. And I was certainly impressed. I am glad we were given the assignment to watch this movie, because this is a very unique one indeed. In my opinion, this movie had nothing to do with the special effects, with the graphic depictions, with the villain chasing after the hero, or with the whole Deckard as a human/Replicant trivia. To me, this film was one that really triggers your mind and makes you think about life. Here's the link to my paper:

Presentation Discussion

By Matt -
I figured we'd want to start a discussion for when to do our presentations. I figured we could start Friday during normal class hours and then finish up around 2. I think everyone should all respond in the comments with our thoughts. Remember if you don't use your voice you have no right to complain about the schedule after it's made.
