Movie: Blade Runner
Basic Plot: Han Solo is a cop who hunts down and kills replicants which are robots that are loose on Earth killing people for some reason.
I'm Okay With: The fact that my my favorite podcast host, Doug Benson, is an extra in the background of the opening scene. The fact that they hint that Indiana Jones might be a replicant but never answer that question. The fact that the next part is so baffling that we are just going to skip right to it.....
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that the Tyrell Corporation would even make robots that tend to kill people so lifelike that it's next to impossible to tell them apart from real humans. If you have never seen this movie (and I don't blame you, it's kind of slow) then it is about a Blade Runner played by Han Solo whose job it is to hunt down replicants. Replicants are robots that are outlawed on Earth because after being "alive" for a certain amount of time, they tend to become dangerous and start killing people. Replicants are also so lifelike that the only way to tell them apart from humans is through a psychological test that reveals that the person/robot taking the test lacks empathy. My question is - why in the hell did this corporation even make their robots so lifelike to begin with? It's not like it's going to matter what they look like, they are fucking robots, no one cares what they look like as long as they get their job done. Sure, the Tyrell Corporation gave replicants a four-year life, but that doesn't solve the bigger problem of not being able to tell if a replicant is a robot to begin with. I am not okay with that.
