Blade Runner Film Honors

I have two all time favorite films. One is Lawrence of Arabia. The other is Blade Runner. It took me a few viewings of Blade runner to Come to come to that conclusion.

The associated press has a news article stating that a survey of 60 top scientists have chosen Blade Runner as the worlds best science fiction film.

Very cool! Now I'll need to dig it out. I think we have it on DVD. If not, well I guess that will need to be corrected right away.

Just a note about the Western Pacific Typhoon, Chaba. what was once a 180 mph category 5 monster is now a 115 mph category 3 major storm. At the rate that Chaba is declining it's possible that it will have no effect once it reaches Japan.
