362: Blade Runner
| Blade Runner |
 Title text: Blade Runner: classic, but incredibly slow. |
Explanation
Cueball is watching a DVD he got for Christmas (the comic is set on Boxing day). His friend seems intent to ruin it for him.
Blade Runner, a science fiction movie featuring Harrison Ford. One of the principal characters is played by Daryl Hannah. Hannah later became known for acting in light hearted Rom-com films, such as "Splash" (in which she is a mermaid) similar to the type of films that the Olsen twins are known for, and Hannah does look similar to the Olsens. Full House is a TV series and New York Minute is a romantic film featuring the Olsens. Hannah's character in Blade Runner (a homicidal sex robot) is a marked departure from this type of role. Cueball will now probably watch the rest of the movie thinking about Olsen movies.
The title text is a common comment on the film. It is not paced like most Sci-fi movies.
