Doc Farrell

ok movie trivia guy,

What is the literary link between the building used at the end of Bladrunner and the movie itself?

and its kinda torturously obvious. free deck of Centra cards to the first correct, or mostly correct answer...

I thought about advising you to send a private message but then you'd just post a thread telling someone to check their private messages.

A Guess..

It is the Bradbury building, and Ray Bradbury was Philip K. Dick's favorite SF author of the 1960's.

The building is a very nice building... just the right length.... Height... width.... But the director decided to make some modifications... some of the modifications were good... But mostly he added more length...and many people feel that there was nothing wrong with the original building. It was a good building. In fact the building became famous in it's original state... but that wasn't good enough for the director... and many architects have since argued over which is best... the original or the directors version.

I believe you can still get a DVD of the original building in a bargain basement somewhere...

Not poker related.

I'll answer it this one time (cos I know the answer).

The building where JF Sebastian lives and where the final fight happens is the Bradbury building in LA, presumably you are referring to the fact that P.K. Dick was the author of "Do Androids Of Electric Sheep" and Ray Bradbury was one of the most celebrated authors of his day... Its a tenuous link at best.

In order to make this at least some what relevant I will reveal another piece of trivia. Ray Bradbury enjoyed a hand of poker and wrote several stories about it.
