Blade Runner - Film, Literature and the New World Order
He say you Dekkit. You Brade Runnuh.
Tell him I'm eatin'.
Directed by Ridley Scott, Bladerunner is a dystopic vision of a nightmarish future where the masses live in squalid conditions and dream of getting off world. Little do they know their masters are engaged in a plan to engineer them into more perfect slaves...a plan called the New World Order.
Scott is said to now be in the initial phases of production of Huxley's Brave New World.

Aldous Huxley's Mind Control and Depopulation Interview
The man behind Ridley Scott's next subject.
Eek - don't make me think!
Huxley was right - Dictatorships can exist without force, unlike in the book, '1984'), and we're in one. I'm also convinced he was right that most people don't want to be free. They want to not have to think.

p.s. re: Huxley
He was right about subliminal influence -- subliminal perception/persuasion works. Subliminal perception, although ridiculed, has been well documented in the psychology literature.

Hi D, I wonder if you've
Hi D,
I wonder if you've seen Scott's recent movie -- can't recall the name but it's about the war on terror from an intelligence agent's perspective. The MSM is dissing it big time, which tells me that the movie is probably on to something.
I don't know how to download torrents (and I have a mac) or I'd watch it. (Can't go to the theatre nowadays.)

Body of Lies?
No, E, I haven't seen it. Heck, it's 40 hard miles to the nearest movie house. I don't go to the big city to often 'cept when I need soo-pleyss like tire irons, Skoal, beans, bacon, and salt.
Boston Globe:
Q. How does the film relate to what's happening in the world right now?
Scott:
A. The only real choice - where there is no choice to be - is to fundamentally have humanitarian behavior. That's it. If others decide not to, do you reciprocate in the same fashion? The ideal answer is no. So then do we say - and I mean this, obviously, as a compliment - are the CIA soft? Are they naive? Because the people they're against are much harder and crueler.
Geez. Who's naive?
Scott is a Hollyweird guy. And, probably when it comes to adapting a film to some real life drama, he will do it the way the money men say just like the rest of the whores in Tinsel Town. So in all likelyhood, way too many liberties are taken with the truth under the guise of artistic license.
One thing I have noticed from a couple of Scott's films, Blade Runner and Black Rain (Bladerunner is an all time favorite film of mine), is that it seems that Scott doesn't think to highly of Asians. Black Hawk down was a propaganda film (as are just about any involving lots of military hardware) ostensibly to promote the US as good guys merely on a humanitarian mission who were savagely attacked by deranged Somalis when actually the prime directive in Somalia was more related to defending US exploitation oil resources there.

Dicktater,
I wonder why Scott would make a film on Huxley if he's in the habit of kowtowing to the "money people?" Why did you like Bladerunner? Maybe Scott is just good at making dystopian epics?
By the way, have you seen this?:

Why did you like Bladerunner?
Because that replicant, Rachel, is so HOT when she "lets down her hair"!
No, hadn't seen anything about that particular gimme yet. However, I did know that server farm loads full of digital FRNs were being injected into healthy patients.
