got like two-thirds of the way through Blade Runner (isn't this supposed to be, like, the best sci-fi movie ever??) and TOTALLY lost the plot.

There are robots on the loose! Harrison Ford must find them! One of them is Rutger Hauer! <-- as far as plots go, really not that complicated.

I was doing okay until he and the one robot started making out? And then the two other robots were with the 'genetic designer' in his creepy apartment? Then I just ceased to be able to pay attention.

Heeeeee. It's been my favorite movie since I was, like, fifteen, so I honestly don't remember ever being confused by it, but I know not everyone likes it.

I'm TRYING. But I keep being distracted by how their version of ~future technology~ works (which is mostly hilarious... there are still pay phones, but they are videos! which I suppose is not sooooo far off?) and it's apparently always nighttime/twilight in the future? And maybe it's just because I watched But I'm a Cheerleader last night, but there are just toooooo many dudes in this movie, and why would you have Edward James Olmos but then never let him talk? I think I'm just not in the right frame of mind at all tonight to enjoy this movie. Like it's clearly a failure on my part, not the movie's. (Although that guy's menagerie of "genetically designed" companions is fucking creepy as SHIT no matter what frame of mind I'm in, I think. This, I suspect, is not news to you, but like, holy shit, creepy.)
