  • I want more life!

    I like to like things somewhat off the beaten path. But when asked what my favorite movie of all time is, like almost everyone else I know who has even a smidgen of taste, I say " Blade Runner ". No need for me to wax poetic about how great it is. I mean it has been around for 25 years now...
