I share a lot of thoughts with the RLM re:View of Blade Runner. It seems that Ridley Scott misunderstood his creation, much like George Lucas with Star Wars. It's one of those strange times where the vision of one is much weaker than the sum of many visions amalgamated.

Thanks for posting that, it was hilarious. I'll definitely re-watch the part where they're quoting him directly again when I need a good laugh.

I wouldn't say he misunderstood his creation, I would rather say that he didn't care about the source material and made something different, with themes that weren't really thought through too well. I agree that the sum of the visions amalgamated is better than the vision of the director in this case.
