    "Blade Runner" is a boring mess ... I've never managed to watch it all
    the way through (which I did do even with the equally attrocious "2001:
    A Space Odyssey").

    I'm old enough to have seen 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) when it first come out. I remember coming out of the theater and slapping my forehead with my hand and saying:

    The "2001" book is equally drug-induced confused garbage that makes no sense. I've never even bothered to attempt to read the sequel books
    despite being given them as gifts.

    "Dune" is another book that is just boring garbage, as are Hollyweird's adaptations of it so far, and the latest adaptation looks no better.

    You're not the only one who feels that way:

    Even if Blade Runner was actually any good, it can't be "the best of
    all time" because "all time" is far from finished ... and when the end
    of time is reached, nobody then will even remotely remember Blade
    Runner (well, assuming the human race doesn't kill itself off within
    the next few generations).

    The human race may not last forever but, forced to sit through one
    bad movie after another it may seem that way.

    You know, one thing that always bugged me about Blade Runner was
    that it was so small. That little square with the noodle bar was like
    half their world. They kept returning to it again & again for scenes/shots.

    ...and even in its own time it was set so implausibly close, in what would've been their very recent future... already our past.

    Harrison Ford's character would have already been born in 1982, when
    the film came out. Its "Future" was set THAT close to its present.

    Best SciFi is: Alien. Nothing comes close. It's of course a SciFi Horror. 'The Thing', the original is also very good.
