IT HAS AIDS

On the proper subject, I'd be inclined to flip it back over.

Why on earth would you just walk away from it. Infact I'd probs keep it as a pet

EDIT: Sorry I read that as not moving not unable to move

Because I'm a replicant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holden: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Leon: What one?
Holden: What?
Leon: What desert?
Holden: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.
Leon: But, how come I'd be there?
Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...
Leon: Tortoise? What's that?
Holden: [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what a turtle is?
Leon: Of course!
Holden: Same thing.
Leon: I've never seen a turtle... But I understand what you mean.
Holden: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Leon: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?
Holden: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
[Leon has become visibly shaken]
Holden: They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?

I was going to drop a Blade Runner reference. But instead I'll ask you to... describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about: your mother.

Yeah, hard to slip that question by a Blade Runner fanatic. Heck, I even have an accurate replica of Deckard's blaster with working LED's and a functioning cylinder...

This is now a Blade Runner appreciation thread!

I for one happened to like the unicorn scene, it didn't need to have symbolic reference to be impactful in itself, just a dreamscape. The music in that particular scene was also spectacular. Just, art.

But so multi-faceted. If you're in it for the minutia of sci-fi detail and design, it's every bit as full of that too. The concept of the world in itself is enthralling, and detailed just enough to let your imagination run rampant.

I uhh, yeah it's a good flick.

Because I'm Mario and I'm about to jump over Bowser and rescue the Princess.

... or I'm a Replicant.
