Quiet Man Cometh

#2417

Then I recommend you watch the movie two for a different perspective on it. :). I find I like movie Roy better than book Roy, and book main guy (can't recall his name) better than movie main guy. It's been a toss-up as two which story I like better overall.

Neuromancer is interesting too if you're into pseudo-Matrix Tron stuff. Gibson watched Blade Runner while he was still writing the book and said it looked so much like what was in his head he had to leave the theater.

Roy....?

(Oh wait, is that the android leader?)

Roy Batty, yup, that's his name. I spotted it in the book because I was looking for it. Yeah, he's the unofficial android leader. I forget some of the details. Well, most of the details.

Tea?

Don't know if I'd be disappointed or not, on account of having never seen it. I have a bad track record with "classic" sci-fi. So, yes, probably disappointed. :p

I don't know if I'd call it classic sci fi really. My prof called it "Cyber Punk" (the movie more than the book) and it feels about that to me, given the visuals. The movie is very dark though, as in colour, so you need a good TV to see. Most of the details come from neon lighting and store signs. I could have done withour Harrison Ford though. He didn't quite fit to me, but I guess that's because to me he's adventure man and not brooding moody detective guy. There is some oddball metaphorical stuff going on in the movie that's not in the book if I remember correctly, which would be Ridley Scott's doing. (Watched the director's cut for my paper on post apocalyptic lit). The book does give you more details on the actual state of the world and humanity though, the movie essentially skips over that, or the bulk of it, and there is no mention of Mercer, antheads, or an electric sheep.

Tea?

No. Electric. Sheep.

And no Mercer and the any analogy? THAT'S A BIT PATHETIC.

Scott works his own metaphorical stuff in. I think he uses the Anroids more as his metaphorical device. They are different from the ones in the book. They really are two different entities, the book and the movie. There's very little dealing directly with electronic animals at all, save some passing mentions, also probably put in more for metaphorical impact.

Not sure what you mean by Ant analogy. Can think of a couple areas in the book for that but one doesn't really involve an ant.

(Should we stop derailing your thread Suze?)

I don't really mind, at least until we can get the game going again.

Ara? I though he'd popped his head in a bit ago; guess I'll go ask him again.

Just to let you all know, we're going to have a new player joining us (yay, group is back up to original size!).

Everyone, meet Arsis.

Arsis, meet Espy, Funk, Serra, Salone (hopefully), and I believe you already know Quiet.

Character

Maybe it's a condition, ever think of that? No, no you didn't. You never thought, "oh maybe he's sensitive about his invisible eyes." Maybe it's a skin condition.

"Maybe she was born with it..."
