Blade Runner Is The Best Sci-Fi Film
Delchanat writes "Now there's scientific proof: according to 60 of the most influential scientists in the world, including British biologist Richard Dawkins and Canadian psychologist Steven Pinker, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) is the best science fiction film. Late Mr. Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) finished 2nd, followed by George Lucas' Star Wars (1977) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980)." There are several other stories as well: favorite authors, the basics of science fiction, and an excerpt of a new Iain M. Banks novel.
Ok the culture books. they are about an advanced utopian ....well....culture that changes the course of history of "primitve" worlds so that they are more civilized, moral, ethical...what ever you want to call it...now the US is at war...two wars to change the sociaties of afganistan and iraq...so what does Mr. banks do???? no he doesn't right a parable about the folly or success about such an endevore...no instead he writes about 9/11...ie terrorists are bad. god damn it. What really sucks is that i will probably buy the fucking book anyway and like most of the sci-fi he has written i will like it...the fucking bastard.

"Blade Runner was the runaway favourite in our poll."
"A Space Odyssey... A very close second"
How can a runaway favourite have a close second? :P
Maybe not, but it can get you 5 -10
-5?
