@MovieNights That movie was responsible for about a week of me sleeping with the lights on when I was eight years old. Watched it from behind my dad who thought I'd gone to bed. Price nailed the creepy atmospherics and "less is more" horror storytelling, yet still managed to be quite graphic in some scenes.
@ecksmc Bad news for me, I'm afraid. I was playing Shadows of Doubt. Six months have passed and everyone in the city of Nude Ellie has either been murdered by another citizen, been sent to prison for such a crime or had their investigation intentionally botched because I found their services indispensible. I'm lonely and dying from my diet of cheeseburgers and coffee. I live on the 18th floor of a very nice building but can only see a vast ocean in every direction and a nearly empty city below.
@Animeraider It's astonishing to me how often screen adaptations of Asimov's works have nothing in common with his writings, save the title.
That Will Smith atrocity, I, Robot springs immediately to mind. Gone were all the nuances of his argument, the theme, the characters and settings. Blade Runner had more in common with the I, Robot book than that movie.
Having said that: If it had a different title, I would have no complaints.
@Copacetic_vibe Bill!
Each time I walk past yet another loud, dangerous, ugly road swarming with cars, it's like a punch in the gut.
A reminder things aren't as they should be. A reminder our society wasn't built to maximize human safety, happiness, & well-being.
I see quieter, prettier, safer versions of these places, bustling w/ people - lots walking, some on bikes, some in wheelchairs, the occasional one in a low-speed forklift - & the occasional electric train passing on grade-separated track... free from cars.

I live in a perpetual state of fear with my house. It's like it can sense that I have some savings in my account. "That's cute," says the house "it would be a shame if the dryer broke right now, wouldn't it?"
