Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel

bowman9991 submitted a story that ought to make even the most stone-hearted amongst you cry. He says "Travis Wright, one of the writers behind Eagle Eye, has been working on a sequel to Ridley Scott's Sci-Fi classic Blade Runner. Script proposals have explored the nature of the off-world colonies, what happens to the Tyrell Corporation in the wake of its founder's death, and what would become of Rachel. Travis said he intends to write a script 'with or without anyone's blessings.' Director Ridley Scott appears interested in a sequel too. At Comic-Con in 2007 Ridley said, 'If you have any scripts, you know where to send them.' It's doubtful he'll have time anytime soon though. He's already stated his next two science fiction films will be an adaptation of Aldous Huxley's Brave New Word with Leonardo DiCaprio and an adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War."

"Ah. You must be American :)

I have never been able to understand how people can have no interest in stuff outside of their own country. It's where the most interesting stuff IS. Seriously dude, you're missing out..."

Yep...I'm an American, and I'll readily admit, that when watching Jeopardy, geography is not my longsuit. We never really covered it that much in school. We just did the states, and that was about it.

Honestly, this country is so big...there is plenty going on here to keep me occupied just trying to keep up with it. Unlike the EU, where you're countries are small and close togetherm we are not used to interacting or driving easily to another country. If you don't get that kind of exposure growing up, you really do kind of live in an isolated world. I rarely hear much going on outside the US, and I've never really had much need to do so. I get most of my international exposure really here on Slashdot.

But really, I've got more than enough to keep my attention occupied here in the US. Until another country is starting to try to blow us up or deprive the US of something, I really don't see much a need to pay attention to them. It is a big world, have fun.

If I intend to travel somewhere....well, then I'll start looking for information on the place, try to learn a little of the language (if not English), and get ready to go, but, for the most part in my life there really isn't much a call to go outside the US. If I want tropical, I can hit the Keys, if I want to ski, I go to CO, if I want good beer......I make it myself.
