A very neat animated "paraphrase" of Blade Runner.

As always, an enlightening piece (even to the writer himself in this case) on the origins of Hitchcock's famous bomb under the table quote from David Bordwell.

Lots of year-end catching up to do in December, so hopefully a lot of good movies to talk about!
