   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.
