Sunday SciFi: Philip K. Dick on Bladerunner

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Bladerunner, the 1981 SciFi classic movie based on the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. A groundbreaking movie that features Harrison Ford getting beat up a lot.

Jason Calacanis has found a letter Philip K. Dick wrote after seeing Bladerunner.

To put it mildly, he liked it. Way cool, cooler than an Oscillation Overthruster sighting.

In St. Louis, a Tea Party protest was planned, 600 people were expected to show up. In reality 2,225 people showed up! A grassroots movement in action.

Also in St. Louis, there was a small amount of leftist Astroturfing.  The so called “coffee party” met for a bit of “latte liberal” whining.  A whopping thirty people, including the people who were already at the restaurant and the tea party infiltrators.
