Ahhhhhh… thanks for the Blade Runner fix.

It’s probably been 3 years since I’ve seen the movie, so I’m about due. I’ll buy that deluxe edition when it comes out this fall, which supposedly will contain all versions of the movie (basically boiling down to variations on either the theatrical release with the voice over or the more recent director’s cut without the voice over).

This post inspired me to listen to the Vangelis soundtrack today. I was once again struck by the fact that every sentient being should own a copy of it.

(It lists for $10.99 new at amazon.com, what are you waiting for?!)

I haven’t seen the movie since I lived with Mike (was one of his favourites) but I’m about to go to Blockbuster to rent it after reading that article. I can’t say that I’ve heard the soundtrack though. Heard it outside of the movie anyway.
