This is an online research journal/blog for my Uni class - I actually don't like blogging, at all, I can't understand why anyone would care what someone else is doing ^_^; so if you're reading this I officially don't understand you, unless you're my tutor, in that case - HI! ^_^

  1. In Bladerunner, what is Leon’s reaction when Holden asks him about his mother? Quote the 1982 draft script.
“Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of the coat. But Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden’s stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden’s shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but it stops, turns and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat.”

Hampton, F, Peoples, D, Kibee, R 1982, Blade Runner, Warner Bros USA. – Griffith trial database viewed 23.08.11

  1. What does Paul Soukup say Walter Ong saw as the main paradox in 20th century communication?
“That a society given so much to the use of diagrams and to the maneuvering objects in space, should at the same time develop means of communication which specialize not in sight but in sound.”

Soukup, P 2004, ‘Walter J. Ong, S.J, A Retrospect’, Communication Research Trends, Vol 23, No 1
