Editing 362: Blade Runner

[[Cueball]] is watching a DVD he got for Christmas (the comic is set on {{w|Boxing day}}). His friend seems intent to ruin it for him.

{{w|Blade Runner}} is a science fiction movie featuring {{w|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 "{{w|Splash (film)|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. {{w|Full House}} is a TV series and {{w|New York Minute (film)|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.

The friend also claims that ''Blade Runner'' is a rip-off of the 2004 comedy film ''New York Minute''. Such a comment is completely illogical -- Blade Runner came out 22 years prior, and the two films are completely different genres -- and serves to point out that Cueball's friend is clearly just trolling (doubly so since ''New York Minute'' is not very good).

The title text is a common comment on the movie, it's just not like an ordinary Sci-fi movie.

:Cueball: What DVD is this?

:Friend: ''Blade Runner''. I got it for Christmas.

:Cueball: The one with Harrison Ford, right? And the Olsen twins?

:Friend: Ye- What? Olsen twins? No, this is the 80's sci-fi classic!

:Cueball: Huh. I didn't know the Olsen twins even ''did'' sci-fi.

:Friend: ...they ''don't''.

:Cueball: So is Ashely the replicant, or is Mary-Kate? I can never tell them apart.

:Friend: Neither! They're not ''in'' this movie!

:Cueball: Then who is?

:Friend: Daryl Hannah!

:Cueball: I liked her in ''Full House''.

:Friend: I hate you.

:Cueball: Man, this movie is just a ''New York Minute'' rip-off.
