I will say that scene in Blade Runner where Tyrell is trying to explain why they can’t extend a lifespan and basically just says “all these things create deadly viruses” instead of literally anything more accurate like disrupting the immune system or causing cancer etc. that scene really does piss me off.
Why the hell would repressing a human gene create a virus in the first place?
Also checking “pupillary dilation” and “blush response” but no “it won’t affect the test” if you’re smoking despite the fact nicotine would probably mess with those metrics as well as basically any other biometric like heart-rate or blood pressure.
That being said, I do actually kinda like watching it (or just having it play in the background while I’m doing something else) just for the vibe of the environment. Cyberpunk megastructures? Cassette futurism? Dense but partly abandoned urban infrastructure? Synth jazz playing over shots of a rainy city night? Hell yeah.
(Tbf I’ve only watched the director’s cut so I dont know if the version with Harrison Ford’s voice over makes any glaring mistakes; it definitely ruins the vibe of the movie imo)
