A really awesome costly group from the Expo that went as Deckard and the Replicants from Blade-Runner.
Oh my God
Blade Runner + scenerygasm
WHY I LOVE BLADE RUNNER
The best thing is how well his film still holds up thirty years later.

Fanfiction - TRON: Invasion, Chapter 1
Title: TRON: INVASION
Rating: T for now, may or may not progress to M eventually.
Synopsis: TRON/Blade Runner Fanfic. It’s 2021, the Tyrell Corporation attempts a hostile takeover of Encom, and the Grid is caught in the crossfire.
Disclaimer: Neither Disney nor Ridley Scott are half as scary as the Tyrell Corporation; nevertheless, neither TRON nor Blade Runner belong to me.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: As with most of my fics, this was inspired by a dream I had; in this case, one that occurred the night after my second viewing of TRON: Legacy. It’s technically a crossover with Blade Runner; some of the characters in the dream were characters from my Blade Runner fic, which is still WIP (a little of it can be seen over on my LJ.) The two storylines got all caught up together to the point where I really couldn’t extricate them.…
The Grid was free once again after Clu’s downfall. And for a while, everything was good.
The programs that populated the Grid knew little of the changes that were sweeping the real world, even as Sam Flynn enacted his own changes upon the Grid. Given new space to grow within the confines of the new system Sam imported it to, it did so exponentially. Whereas Tron City had once been the dominant settlement – and indeed, the only settlement after the fall of Arjia city and Bostrum Colony – new cityscapes sprang up to occupy this vast new territory, connected together by winding highways and deep channels of luminous data.
Sam and Quorra shared administration of the new Grid, Grid 3.0. And once Tron was recovered, he gladly took up his protective duties. The games were reinstated, restored to the conditions under which they’d functioned before Clu had corrupted them. Existence within the Grid began to settle into a peaceful rhythm as the cycles passed.
…how on earth did I miss this. Well done!
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a slave.

Forever and always one of my favorite films of all time.
This year marks the 30th anniversary since Blade Runner opened in cinemas.
Happy birthday to the other Cyberpunk trope codifier from 1982!
Any of you youngun’s around these parts who’ve never seen Blade Runner, do yourself a favor and rectify that situation right now.
There seemed to be some trend going around with a few graphic designers. This set of illustrations must have been the third set of graphic designs that came from movie posters. A Spanish illustrator, Dani Blazquez, redesigned some of movies from the sci-fi genre. The illustrator must have been a fan of those movies. Well, surely this is a graphically pretty set.

These are fantastic.

You guys in Austin, Texas, consider me officially jealous.
Oh my god I need to go to this festival LIKE BURNING. Halfway across country diagonally isn’t THAT far, right??
I read that as 20th anniversary at first and went “Man, I can’t believe these movies are 20 years old.” And then I realized that 2 was a 3. And that I was born two years BEFORE these movies came out. Dear God.

This is the second image post from the Syd Mead exhibition. No photos were allowed, but I bought postcards at the museum store and I scanned them along with the flyer. These pictures were on show, along with other outstanding art.
There is one painting at the entrance, called Shoulder of Orion. That picture was created specifically for this event. According to the description, the art was inspired by Roy Batty’s last words in the Blade Runner - that Syd Mead wanted to prevent those images to get lost as ‘tears in the rain’, that is why he painted the spaceships on fire around the Orion.
Oh man oh man oh man. I love Syd Mead, I love Blade Runner, and I love that monlologue. Runneth, I am so fucking jealous, you don’t even know.
“I’ve…seen things you people wouldn’t believe…”
This film, and this soundtrack, had a profound influence on me and on my tastes. I believe everyone should have a chance to see it at least once, regardless of what you’re into.

God, she’s gorgeous.
