There are topics and there are sh!te topics and this is without doubt a sh!te topic (apologies Gassor).

Compared to "Should human life continue?" it's not so bad. What else is amusing these days? Well apart from them with null and void.
Given you have not watched Blade Runner, can we assume you also got this from the back of the DVD?

'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.'
And that's just in Cheshire.
Don't worry, it's a lot more style than substance. As an avid science fiction reader since the age of ten (I blame my father), I found it unoriginal and reliant on "atmosphere" more than an original story line.Amusingly, and even ironically, I've never seen Bladerunner.
Spending your life doing cultural stuff, and therefore missing other stuff by coincidence, is not a fault IMO.It is quite entertaining, gives people the opportunity to say “I’ve never heard of her” so validating their high cultural status.
Did they "Dick" around with the original story?Don't worry, it's a lot more style than substance. As an avid science fiction reader since the age of ten (I blame my father), I found it unoriginal and reliant on "atmosphere" more than an original story line.
It always amazes me how film makers find him so irresistible.Did they "Dick" around with the original story?
Well, different people like different things, it is possible to like ‘cultural stuff’ (I do) & yet still find trivial things diverting. Pointing out our that you are above such things is bordering snobbery but we are all guilty of that to greater or lesser degrees.Spending your life doing cultural stuff, and therefore missing other stuff by coincidence, is not a fault IMO.
Next people will be saying they've never seen an episode of Game of Thrones

As I predicted, people are quick to comment about things which they have no interest in; something of an affectation.
Poor people can be snobs as wellI find trivia a waste of energy. Nothing about being superior, but a simple fact. It is not that I am above trivia, but simply that I abhor it as a complete waste of my time - waste of finite energy resources. I am no snob; I certainly cannot afford to be! National Minimum Wage etc. The Council Tax is the same though. ...
What fascinates me, and why I posted, is the simple question, "Why would anyone would be interested in people famous for no other beneficial reason than being famous [apparently famous], so that the BBC wastes time putting such trashy stories among the serious News Of The Day?" That is the nub of it, I think. "Why?"
So please do not judge that your admitted snobbery [in the sense that "we" means "you others and myself"] exists in others where it may not, and in some cases certainly does not.
