Tomorrow will mark the day when Roy Batty starts burning so very brightly:

January 8th 2016

In a little over a month from now, my favorite replicant, PRIS, is coming online — fittingly on Valentine’s day:

At some point in June, there’s Zhora:

Congratulations to Tyrell Corp for shipping the NEXUS 6 crew! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have one of my favorite movies of all time!

If you do watch it again, which you should, please make it the 30th anniversary edition. It’s so, so good! I watched it just yesterday (in honor of Roy) and just love how they paid so close attention to the “future of the past” from Dick’s perspective.

The dialog, the semi-steampunk office decore complete with blinds and gold-stenciled lettering — all of this seemed so campy in the 80s when I first saw it. Of course now I can see Scott’s genius.

More on all of that later — today I want to wish the NEXUS 6 crew a Happy Incept Date and good luck on the Outer Colonies!
