It's always good to share this link to 'The Illustrated Blade Runner' PDF. The original 97 page illustrated script from 1982 is almost impossible to find. Enjoy.

I think the time is fast approaching that humanities struggle against AI needs a recognisable symbol.
Inspired by 'V' the 1980s sci-fi TV series and the recent defacing of the advertising for the Friend AI website on the NY subway.
Keep it simple. A universal symbol. Take back the power. Resist.

Definitely worth a watch. One of the better Doomwatches. A big budget production in comparison to most of the series.

Just finished reading a very exciting book called 'Methods of Shipbuilding 1850 to 1950'
It was riveting.

Finally got The Fantastic Four movie I always wanted.
Nice to have a superhero film unencumbered with the weight of the rest of a cinematic universe. It allows for a more measured pace.
The fun retro future tone is maintained perfectly. Too much to take in on first viewing.

Just back from seeing 'Children of Men' on the big screen. A modern cinematic masterpiece. 20 years old and more relevant by the day.
Dear UK Government. This film is a warning, not a blueprint.

Nice wee crop of blackcurrants from the garden. They're a bit wersh on their own so I'm going to freeze them until the apples are ready. Then it's pie time.

We didn’t own our television. We rented it from a shop on our high street. If the television went faulty (which it did a few times a year) a television engineer would come out and fix it. He would remove the back cover of the TV and replace the faulty component using a soldering iron.

Ceefax and Teletext. Imagine the internet on your TV but with only 7 colours, and only the most basic amount of interaction over what pages you could access and having to wait 30 seconds between pages as they turned.
Sounds crap? Yeah, but we loved it and many of us used it every single day.

Anybody else get weird folk horrory vibes from this strange 1960s education experiment? There's some isolated community that just didn't want to follow the rules... not even your language.

Last spring I gave the last 10ft of my boring garden over to a wildflower meadow to help the bees and stuff. I had to start from bare soil.
It's all gone a bit daft.
