The REAL Napster

THe directors cut of that movie rocks. It's starting to show it's age a bit, but still great overall.

<SPAN>Twenty-five years ago,</SPAN> the Ridley Scott <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="3911239">film</A> <EM>Blade Runner</EM> became an instant science fiction classic. Set in a sodden, squalid Los Angeles of 2019, the neo-noir masterpiece influenced a generation of filmmakers and video-game designers. Long before I teamed up with Jamie Hyneman to form the MythBusters, I was a special-effects modelmaker, and Scott's cyberpunk gem almost instantly became the most important film in the <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="3911118">canon</A> of movies I love.
