I've always liked the movie ever since I saw it in the theater in 1982. Subsequent viewings have diminished my appreciation of it however, as it is a completely illogical mess, and really makes no sense at all.

Blade Runner rocks, because 'onslaught' is one word
They may think their sins are original, but for the most part they are petty and repetitive.

Got room for one more?
I maybe one of the few sci-fi geeks out there that doesn't go orgasmic whenever I hear about BLADE RUNNER. I've seen it a few times, and maybe the re-release in theaters or the 3 disc DVD of it will broaden my horizons and make me a fan, but from my perspective, the whole movie is just cold. Yes, it's visually stunning and revolutionary and philosophical and the most faithful adapt of a Phillip K. Dick story, but I found the whole thing just to be cold, barren and emotionless. Not a single bit of heart or spirit in the entire film. And who really cares if Decker is a robot? That was supposed to be the big mystery of the movie and all that, but it's not a mystery if you don't give a shit about it.
I guess that's why I'm not too big a fan of cyberpunk or stuff that supposedly redefines science fiction, because a lot of it just seems to lack any heart or emotion. BLADE RUNNER, THE MATRIX, the new BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. These supposedly great pieces of work that's all intellectual and no heart whatsoever. It's hard to root for your characters when they're as cold and emotionless as the machines they're fighting.

Blade Runner comes down to this one statement.
"I want more life, fucker."
I bought the first release and still have it. Amazing how many times you can watch a VHS tape before it implodes. I figure it still has a few more viewings before it finally goes to the magnetic tape heaven that awaits it.
I like the tribute to Bradbury by naming one of the buildings after him.
Found this in youtube.

Was the Bradbury Building named after Ray? It sure has been used in a lot of sci-fi presentations, ie...OL's Demon With A Glass Hand, and a few Twilight Zones, all decades before Blade Runner....AND... for those who are really obsessed with this movie I would ask some simple questions...
Why the need for Blade Runner Units in the first place?
The police know what they all look like & who they are, so why not send the SWAT Team after them? Why just one guy?
How many frikkin' murderous mutinies in space would be tolerated before they just tell Tyrell to stop making them?
Why did Holden Voight-Kampf Leon?..He knows he's a renegade repilicant from the Captain's hologram file.
Why V-K anybody?
Why even build the stupid thing? The authorities know all the replicants.
A 4 year lifespan is hardly an approved " safeguard", so how could the stupid things have gotten made knowing their enormous potential destructive capabilities? Just a few of my l'il probs with this flick...many others as well.
