   What kinda irritates me is how he talks about how interesting the   
   whole idea of the ambiguity was, but then goes right on and says that   
   Deckard is a Replicant.  However, I still have enough strength to   
   stand up and fight and no matter what his credentials and me being   
   "just a fan", I will still hold to my view that the Director is not   
   the Film.  That once released he cannot control the viewer's   
   experience of the World that was created.  There is still nothing   
   within the World of the BR:FC movie itself that defines Deckard as a   
   Replicant.  I can entertain the concept without accepting it and will   
   argue until the end of time to defend that position.
