Livingston, Paisley. 2006. Theses on cinema as philosophy. Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 64 (1): 11–18. Upgrade your umbrella game today with the Blade Runner Umbrella. Stand out from the crowd, stay dry, and enjoy the benefits of this unique and stylish accessory. The LayerOne conference takes place in greater Los Angeles and this year it adopted a Blade Runner theme in honor of that landmark film. My favorite part of the theme was the conference badge modeled after a Voight-Kampff machine. These were used in the film to distinguish replicants from humans, and that’s exactly what this badge does too. In the movies, replicants are tested by asking questions and monitoring their eyes for a reaction — this badge has an optional eye-recognition camera to deliver this effect. Let’s take a look! Nevertheless, there is enough strong evidence within the actual films themselves, their marketing materials, and even Ridley Scott’s circuitous musings to suggest that at some point somewhere, a xenomorph might be forced to take a Voight-Kampff test. And that’s a world we want to be a part of, dammit! Russell, Bruce. 2000. The philosophical limits of film. Film and Philosophy (Special Interest Edition on the Films of Woody Allen): 163–167.

What does the future actually look like? Chances are what you see in your mind when presented with that question is heavily influence by Syd Mead. He is an industrial designer, but his body of work — which includes some of the most iconic Sci-Fi movies ever filmed — built a much more interesting job title for him: Visual Futurist. Merleau-Ponty, Maurice. 1945. The film and the new psychology. In Sense and non-sense, 48–59. Trans. H. Dreyfus, and P. Dreyfus. Evanston: Northwestern University Press, 1964. Like Roy before him, Weyland wishes to entreat his maker for more life, and also like Roy he is disappointed. Another similarity is the disappointment the human characters (and perhaps the audiences too) feel in the Engineers being mortal aliens and not deities… those that are also quite destructible, just as Tyrell’s skull was in Roy Batty’s hands. Just Ask Ridley You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. Cavell, Stanley. 1979.

Designed with a Blade Runner-inspired style, this umbrella features a unique colour-changing LED system that illuminates the canopy, creating a mesmerizing and eye-catching effect. Watch as the colours shift and blend, adding a touch of magic to your surroundings.Not only does the Blade Runner Umbrella offer style and functionality, but it also boasts excellent quality and durability. Crafted with 190T nylon fabric and a sturdy 8-rib construction, it can withstand the elements and keep you dry during rainy days. While speaking on one of many Blade Runner DVD director’s commentaries, Scott said this about their similarities:

The transparent umbrella carried by Charlotte in Lost in Translation (2003) is part of Sofia Coppola’s ongoing campaign to elevate the flimsy, disposable accoutrements of girldom to the poetic realm, but it also represents her protagonist’s particular emotional condition. As her marriage unravels, Charlotte is enclosed, yet exposed; observing the world at a remove; oddly protected by her pain. This type of umbrella is also particularly cheap and popular in Japan, and so serves to emphasise Charlotte’s cultural displacement – itself a metaphor for the mingled misery and liberation of finding oneself unloved. With its non-automatic control, this umbrella is easy to open and close, providing you with hassle-free protection from the rain. Its long-handle design offers comfortable grip and effortless manoeuvrability, making it suitable for adults of all ages.Thanks to its brilliant melding of film noir, science fiction, and cyberpunk motifs, not to mention its stirring music and unprecedented visual density, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner (1982/2007) has become an influential cultural icon. What really sets the film apart from most movies, however, are the ways in which it encourages philosophical questions. Virtually all commentators agree that “What does it mean to be human?” – understood as asking something like, “What characterizes the real (or authentic) human being?” – is the central philosophical question the film raises. Attempting to answer that question can be a fertile approach to the film, with moral implications for how to think about the qualifications for inclusion in the human community. That is not, however, the only way to appreciate the philosophical significance of Blade Runner. The film also encourages viewers to ponder the question, “What fundamental experiences constitute the uniquely human mode of self-consciousness?” Showing how the latter question leads to a richer appreciation of Blade Runner as philosophy is the aim of this chapter. Keywords Yet more on the nose still is the below image from the UK steel box release of Prometheus on Blu-ray. Yep, if you look at the text files buried in the materials of that Alien prequel, you get a transcribed ramble from Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), who in the midst of his droning heavily implies that Dr. Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel) was his mentor. Erv’ Plecter] replaced the central support rod for the umbrella with a clear polycarbonate tube. An optic cable snakes through the hollow tube, illuminated by a Luxeon LED in the handle. The custom PCB and 900 mAh battery are both housed there as well. Take a look at (and listen to) the demo after the break. We’ll need to add this to our future projects list right after that Lightsaber movie replica build.
