Blade Runner Wank
My living room is a bastion of nerd-wank.

The other night my boyfriend and friend started watching Bladerunner at about 1AM. They kept repeatedly pausing it and rewinding it and cross-referencing it with Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?', then discussing the moral and philosophical implications of the post-apocalyptic world and androids. Then they watched a documentary on the matter.

I eventually crawled into bed around 5AM. I woke up five and a half hours later.

They were still awake AND still discussing Harrison Ford's role as an android.

10 and a half hours of bladerunner wank. In my own house.

I feel disconcerted...

	Wow. I mean, it's a good movie and all, but... isn't that bit too obsessive? :D (Reply to this)(Thread)

	When the two of them get onto something they both like they can go on about it until the cows come home. It's mildly worrying. I just switch off and lose myself in writing or neverwinter nights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scary. Neverwinter Nights, the game? I tried it, but it was too 3D for me, gives me a headache. I prefer Diablo2. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	they're both deeply intelligent people. severely so. they just tend to take their intellecutalising a little far too seriously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I admire and boggle in equal proportions, i really do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	try living with it. i just sit on my couch and keep out of it and occasionally pass a joint around and nod and go uh-huh! and feign enthusiasm. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wow. awed That could've been any one of my friends from college . . . first time I met most of them, they were already involved in rapid-fire exhaustive intellectual discussion of sci-fi. By the way, there's something beautiful about the line "My living room is a bastion of nerd-wank." Makes me misty-eyed, or something. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: mistresssaigon 2003-08-08 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	well, if it's not sci-fi wank then it's music wank, and if it's not music wank, it's simpsons wank, and if it's not that, then it's my tolkien wank. Damn the carpet must be sticky (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ever consider linoleum? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's a good idea. (Reply to this)(Parent)
