@Kenzo Mathew "joined two days ago" are you even a real person
@Darwin Juelz I will try it out right now. Seems promising.
@Darwin Juelz nobody does care
Not sure if anyone cares at all but I just hacked my gfs Instagram account by using Instaportal. Cant link here so search for it on google :D

I've always loved Bladerunner. It's the one movie that introduced me to cyberpunk and it's also the movie that practically started the iconic cyberpunk aesthetic that we know today.
"It's a great thing to be defeated by your kids in competition." *Goku has left the chat*
Adam sounds like he has covid
blade runner resonates with me because i think all of us have a desire to know who created us, how and why. Also having our lives (lifespan for the replicants in the movie, Rick Deckard always questioning if his life is) predetermined is something I believe we all yearn for.
Blade Runner 2049 might actually be my favourite film *of all time.* What a masterpiece. I love the Original too, though :-) (it's probably in my top 10)
I wish they make Blade Runner 3.
Subtitulo en español
Oh damn! I don't remember anything after Adam said he was going to make a Voigt-Kampff machine.
When Blade Runner first came out, I had to read PK Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep,” the source/inspiration for the film - great for an added dimension. Vangelis’ soundtrack was also on heavy replay. I too loved Murakami’s “1Q84.” I love his storytelling.
I want more movies in the Ridley-verse but I don't want them to be Blade Runner or Alien. I want something NEW in that universe. I just want to visit that world again. Technically the movie Soldier (1998) is apparently set in the same universe but it's not the same caliber and not made by Ridley. Best part of that movie is Loreena McKennitt - night ride across the Caucasus on the soundtrack
Adam, you just make me smile, thank you
It really makes me happy when I hear someone influential and someone that I've really admire since I was young talk about art in a positive way (mainly painting as I'm studying it at university) Not just the classics like Degas as you mentioned but also Francis Bacon and Keifer whom many people as I've heard dislike/hate, and those people go on to belittle and hate on contemporary artists just because they're not like the old masters. Of course it's an opinion, but what is the point when it ends up putting young artists like me down? I have been in a super deep block/slump, your videos really cheer me up so thank you 😊
Ecto-1?
Blade Runner 2049 is the best movie I've ever seen
MR. Savage I was wondering if you would do me the honor of being a guest on one of my live streams
Adam said "Horse" & "plops" in the same sentence.
Times Square 1982: Not too far removed from L.A. 2019 as depicted in the film.
Blade Runner is my favorite movie
It's entirely different for me now. I fell in love with the world of Blade Runner at first sight. The production design wowed me like no film before, or since. So I still love the world, but what I love most about the film now...the themes of what it means to be human, how much more human the replicants truly are than the demoralized humans who enslave them...all of that took time for me to discover and fully appreciate.
... Adam, za dużo mówienia za mało pokazywania ,
" Why I still like Bladerunner " ... because its bloody amazing thats why... simples
Adam, I am so glad you mentioned “falling into” Art, I had this exact experience looking at “The Fighting Temeraire” by Turner in London, people around me thought I was breaking down, difficult to explain why to my Wife without sounding weird. BR has always been the yardstick other film should be measured against for me, I still watch occasionally and still see something I’ve missed previously, it’s Ridleys Mona Lisa.
Do you consider the CS-80 to be one the cast members of blader runner ?
Should I watch BladeRunner? Am I missing something?
19 years old = adult
That awkward moment where Adam doesn't realise "spaz" is a pejorative against disabled people in the UK and says it like 6 times. 😬
I assumed Deckard didn’t have his own Police Spinner and only rode in Gaff’s in the original. Deckard only had the orange car.
I wish we could do a commentary track (maybe MST3K style) of Adam watching Blade Runner. I want to love it as much as he does...
Blade Runner - a timeless dystopian Film Noir, a 1982 vision of what could be the future...watching this movie over and over is a luxury that new technology brought us with DVD - everything is perfect in this movie, the picture, SFX , Acting, Story and the music from Vangelis enhance so well the atmosphere...a must to possess
Have you read Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? The story is quite different than Blade Runner and it has a much more spiritual tone to it but still has the same "vibe". One of the best books I have ever read. Philip K Dick is a genius.
A new mill? Weren’t there like 5 videos improving the current one?
4:21 The moment that Adam starts rambling like an old pothead loon.
Voight kampff machines will become real. Lie research discovered pupils dilute when people lie.
Blade Runner is just Houston on a rainy night. People who want to live in an endless city dig h-tine.
Blade Runner spinner... I'm sorry, Adam, did you once refer to yourself as a "maker"? 36" version is easier because it is so big. IMHO...
Times Square in the mid-80s-- and mid-70s... yep.
fiworld.info/goon/nHWYupHOsX2Chq8/videot.html
I've never seen blade runner. Will have to watch it sometime.
fiworld.info/goon/hWy84GzYzqtqfWw/videot.html
Surprised he doesn't have a Voight-Kampff unit mock-up. Might be a good project. Seems challenging.
Still one of my favourite films.
fiworld.info/goon/hWy84GzYzqtqfWw/videot.html
Still like?
is it ok I preferer 2049 to the original?
Honestly, I recokn an entire channel about Adam talking about Blade Runner and related bits & pieces would be a big success
Though it was a vocal slip, I think "100 years of solid tools" seemed a strangely apt phrase for Adam. 😁
the music always captivates me... an awesome cast.
Is it cause you both suck" Hahahahaha Joking. 😜
this is how i feel about "The Warriors"
Hi Adam and the team, I wait patiently every day for the next vid you put out! I was wondering if you have ever built or thought of building a terminator mechanical arm? Lots of machining involved
My mom took me with her to see blade runner. Thank you mom, I love you. Keep it up.
A new Mill? Adam is not like you don't have the BIGGEST, LARGEST, MOST EXPENSIVE mill i've ever seen a private person have already
Blade Runner is a melding of sci-fi and art..... I’m thankful that 2049 was a sequel that overcame any doubt that one can be made to bring closure both on and off screen...
Have you ever considered doing a sort of mini-Mythbusters-type show on Tested?
Has he mentioned at any point where he picked up that 2049 blaster?
Could someone please explain to me why the wooden horse was worth an absolute fortune in Blade Runner 2049, yet Sappers wooden tree was completely ignored by everyone?
Fascinating, insightful, nostalgic and very relatable. Thank you Adam for realising things about yourself that help me know my 'self' a little better.
I would love to see you do a One Day Build of Sapper Morton's medical bag.
I have a great love for every thing Blade Runner and really look forward to every video you post related to it thank you for these
New mill? CNC? 2021 just got better for Adam.
Blade Runner for me is like a spiritual thing, it has all the elements of art I love and Harrison Ford as Deckard was the cherry as a child watching something I shouldn't. Syd Mead is to this day a massive influence on me, I love the mans work and Sir Ridley Scott is as influential and thought provoking as Stanley Kubrick, The Shining and Blade Runner are connected, At the end the car in the mountains in the helicopter shots are unused footage from The Shining intro.
When the Special Edition came out, the one in the plastic briefcase with 5 versions of the film, I literally sat down and binge watched them all back to back. I have zero regrets. Just rewatched The Final Cut about a week ago, and it just gets more magnificent with each viewing.
@mr bacchus Honestly, that's not a question that's ever interested me. But I look at movies differently than most people.
@Kris Ryan It's more than "a bit" obsessive. It's full blown obsessive. I fully admit to that. But the thing that's depressing is, compared to some people with some franchises, that's "diet" obsessive.
So I'll consider you an expert. Is Deckard a replicant?
I love blade runner but jesus that's a bit obsessive.
Blade Runner is a timeless classic.
I'm not a fan of Blade Runner at all, but I have my own movies that elicit a similar kind of dedicated adoration from me. Such as Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Willow, and Ladyhawke.
How do you like Neill Blomkamp?
Goodness. You really captured the feeling of the newness and excitement I felt about the world as a young man. Art, be it books, films, paintings, ect., was something felt viscerally. It quickened my appreciation for my fellow man and opened my eyes to the possibilities that life presented. In the years since, while my exposure to various media has enabled me to separate the wheat from the the chaff, I find those gems fewer and farther between. That is bittersweet. Thanks for the memories.
“Quite an experience to live in fear isn’t it. That’s what it is to be a slave” rip Rutger
Very apt.
Adam is such a wholesome man, he represents the geek in all of us.
I love that you put this up I'm posting this to Facebook ( bladezone)
How about a replicant? Or maybe its too soon...
within cells...
I love it whenever he talks about Blade Runner. Seems like he's in his happy place. If he started a second channel solely on BR, I'd be all for it.
I feel like I've had a similar experience with the John Wick movies. I was so obsessed I took Judo and Karate classes. It was indeed a product of whatever I felt was lacking in my identity in my highschool years, and I feel I would never experience them the same way if they were to come out now that I'm in college.
Omg why the dislikes, it's just an amazing myth buster talking about an amazing movie💁 or at least that's how I see this video😂
Is a Jackson Pollock better IRL? Because when I look at his paintings online, all I can think is, "Me and the guys make Jackson Pollocks all over ourselves at work every day and nobody comes to admire the mess on our clothes."
loved this
I remember Times Square in the 1980s...I was in my early 20s, and I was staying at my aunt's place in Yonkers, and visiting a girlfriend in Long Island near Lynbrook on the LIRR...So I would walk between Grand Central and Penn Station since the subway at that time was kinda scary. I remember the porn shops and movie places...but I do miss the pinball arcades that were also in that area. But it was indeed a grimey, dirty time and place.
Roy’s speech is still one of the most beautiful moments ever captured on film. The central plot points of the movie have never stopped being universal, and emotionally connected to by the audience.
Vangelis totally sets the mood with the soundtrack

Couldn’t agree with Adam more. The shared experience of seeing Blade Runner with my high school chums; this after seeing ET and The Thing all on the same day. What an experience and what memories from the summer of ‘82!
Maybe I should try watching it again. It just didn't hit the first time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As a "Young Adult" myself, I always felt that the movie "STARGATE" got my attention alot, but ALMOST as much as "THE FIFTH ELEMENT". My friend and I tried to figure how to make the "Staff Blaster" from Stargate for almost eight months, untill we "Re-Focused" on playing TMNT the Roll Playing Game, because we realized that the TECHNOLOGY doesn't exist...😿
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
fiworld.info/goon/nHWYupHOsX2Chq8/videot.html
Offs
Yeah. .
Or like hiding a grain of sand on the beach
If you've seen the things I've seen
Can some one of the patreons ask Adam: Did he watched "Epic Rap Battles of History: Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters", and what was his reaction? take 8
The only thing disappointing about Blade Runner is that it's future is now two years in our past.
No one should have to explain themselves why they still like Blade Runner.
I agree. I mean, Jesus Christ, just look at it. Blade Runner is gorgeous. What else does someone need?
I need to hear reasons why you still like this cinema masterpiece that inspired a generation!
I remember that comraderie as a young adult the first time I played Doom 2 with friends in our office on the company network. Man that was fun.
Anyone know what LEGO build he is making in this clip? Looks like a Jurassic park suv
@Bob the Brick Builder cool, do you know if he has a full clip of the build up? Looks interesting
That's what it is, Jurassic Park jeep.
Blade runner was one of the first movies that made me feel empty because of its bittersweet ending ;-;
The original ending was pretty lazy tbh
@Viper MD We call it Voight-Kampf for short
Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation of the so-called 'blush response', fluctuation of the pupil, involuntary dilation of the iris.
Easy Rider.
Всякой хернёй страдает. Верните научно познавательную и развлекательную передачу "Разрушители легенд"
Well get out some plastic board and make the spinner you want why wait for someone to make a kit for you
Went on a curse in the 1980's and Syd Mead was on there and did a presentation (book sales too) and a lot of the questions in the Q&A session were about Blade Runner along with all the other movies he had done art for at that time (2010, TRON, Aliens). That was quite a good presentation, really enjoyed it. So long ago hard to remember many specific answers except that they used Chinese in the City backdrop as they wanted it to be extremely "busy" and if you could have read all the signs you would not pay attention to the narrative or some such reason.
I spit on your grave was a classic 😀
I like this format and would like to see a version where some else ask you the questions
Be grateful if you were born before NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE😎!
I still love Blade Runner and it is the intense cohesiveness of the plot and cinematography that keeps me wanting to review it......and then on to Blade Runner 2049.
Blade runner was good,, but the sequel sucked.
Trailer for "I Spit On Your Grave" is the tamest of tame by today's standards.
Can I have your old mill? Just saying.😁
Blade runner bores me to tears. I've tried and it's just...not my cup of tea.
