Put yourself in a 'BladeRunner-esque' state of mind for a moment:
Think Vangelis.
Think night-time.
Think shite weather.
Think 100's of thousands of citizens.
Think of walking along the dirty streets.
OK?
Right.
Now map that over my good self, stepping out of Flinders Street Station last Wednesday night. Into the shite weather and crowded bustle.. Huddled under my umbrella trying not to make eye contact with ANYTHING..
I look up at the bright-red '7 news' ticker that sits above the Young and Jackson's pub, and suddenly Ridely Scott's vision doesn't seem so far from the present.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger Wins California Recall Election"
('Recall'..? hmmm)
Hard to describe that moment, as in mere milliseconds I chuckle to myself, ponder life/the universe/what I want for dinner, and also consider how bizarre it is to be in this day and age so comedically described by so many movies past.
It used to get a laugh in the theatre back in the late 80's ffs.
Who'd have ever thought.
