Interesting thing about Bladerunner. Weather you believe in global warming or dramatic weather shifts in short spans of time, and whatever you see as the future of immigration, Bladerunner is interesting in how it anticipates an LA in which immigration has produced a very different culture with a patois of several languages, and it anticipates an LA where it rains all the time.
However, I would suggest that they actually took their inspiration from Seattle. It has been a long rainy winter and has been raining for days. It is just gray and dark and wet all day today and it kind of bums me out sometimes.
When I lived in SF, I loved the weather, a few days of fog, a few days of rain, a few days of sun. And I knew I could wear my new overcoat out sometime that week, and could also drive my convertible with the top down at least one or two days that week. So cool.
In Seattle we have amazing great summers and mild winters. But it just rains and rains and rains. I am starting to think that Bladerunner was actually set in Seattle. But without the cool bazaars and exotic robot snake dancers.
Just a litle rant to blow off steam.
