Another Chance

This weekend, I made a third attempt to see the movie Blade Runner.  My wife has made it clear that she has no interest, and I don't blame her, so I've been trying to find a suitable time to watch it.  My first attempt was obviously way too late for this post-collegiate-turned-father as I fell asleep halfway through.  My second attempt was stifled, literally, as I was couldn't hear what was happening due to noise restriction (didn't want to wake the wife).  This past weekend however, I found success.  Amanda was gone, Garrett was asleep, and so I put in Blade Runner for the third time.  It was worth the wait.    It was science fiction at it's best, and I'm actually glad I have waited this long to see it.  I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it in college, and have no doubt that I would have hated it in high school.  But now, there was something about it that was very captivating to me as an adult.  It really reached me emotionally, and blew my mind intellectually.  Love, love, love this movie.      If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes. --Roy, from Blade Runner
