A masterpiece of production design and cinematography. A screenplay bursting at the seams with themes and ideas. All tied to rather dull story about a detective who doesn’t really detect anything.
It’s an admirable but flawed film, and, I prefer the original version with the film-noir voiceover.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

The Neighborhood
When I first saw this coloring page I thought "Wow!" what detail to color. In the end I decided to use colored pencil and crayon and colored the roofs several different colors in various shades. At time I thought maybe since there was so much detail as in the windows and doors as well as some had bricks and small balconies it would have been kind of fun to do that way, but then again that would require a little bit more colors that I have. Actually, I think this would make a great jigsaw puzzle. Please comment.

Ford has a knack for picking scripts with huge story problems 😁 But I loved this one anyway 😁
I enjoyed it.
Rutger Hauer's "tears in rain" monologue at the end of the film is, as a standalone improvisation, one of the best ever in film, though. Nice review!
I have not watched this movie. Excellent review!
Concise review. I think I like Bladerunner, because I like Harrison Ford.
