Am I the only one who senses something missing about this movie's plot? That is, our Detective K (Ryan Gosling) doesn't do much actual inspired or deductive detecting. In fact all the important questions are asked aloud by female characters, then K seems to figure "oh yeah", and jumps on that. For example, sex worker Mariette(Mackenzie Davis)finding K at a lunch table, sees him holding a photo of the stark white dead tree, asks him "who keeps a dead tree?", and this apparently inspires him to return to the Wallace protein farm, whereupon he discovers the date etched into the now buried root of the dead tree. At the police "deenabase", K discovers the false record of one of the twins. A.I. Joi ( de Armas) asks the question, "Who keeps the records?"(of the orphans) and "who makes the memories?" This inspires K to take Joi on a trip to the orphanage to attempt to dig up the records, which have already been stolen (implied) by Luv, who got there first and tries to kill him with an air-to-ground rocket attack. K does not seem to recognize her role in the rocket attack or show it, anyways. Later, he visits(without Joi) Dr Ann Stelline who demonstrates her knowledge of the specific memory which he thought was his alone, and gives him the ginormous hint that " every artist leaves a little of themselves in their work." This visit earns him a reprimand by his boss as " fucking around outside an upgrade center." Whereupon he shows the results of his pathetic detective work, the baby sock, and photo of the date scribed in the tree bark.

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well C. MarnetteD|Talk 04:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blade Runner 2049 extra thing

You seem like a levelheaded discussed on this topic. I have this thesis -what to do with it? Blade runner 2049

Am I the only one who senses something missing about this movie's plot? That is, our Detective K (Ryan Gosling) doesn't do much actual inspired or deductive detecting. In fact all the important questions are asked aloud by female characters, then K seems to figure "oh yeah", and jumps on that. For example, sex worker Mariette(Mackenzie Davis)finding K at a lunch table, sees him holding a photo of the stark white dead tree, asks him "who keeps a dead tree?", and this apparently inspires him to return to the Wallace protein farm, whereupon he discovers the date etched into the now buried root of the dead tree. At the police "deenabase", K discovers the false record of one of the twins. A.I. Joi ( de Armas) asks the question, "Who keeps the records?"(of the orphans) and after he plays with his you horse a bit, "who makes the memories?" This inspires K to take Joi on a trip to the orphanage to attempt to dig up the records, which have apparently already been stolen by Luv, who got there first and tries to kill?/miss? him with an air-to-ground rocket attack. K shrugs off the attack, and doesn't seem to recognize her role in the rocket attack or show it, anyways. Later, he visits(without Joi) Dr Ann Stelline, who demonstrates her knowledge of the specific memory which he thought was his alone, and gives him the ginormous hint that " every artist leaves a little of themselves in their work." This visit earns him a reprimand by his boss(Robin Wright) as " fucking around outside an upgrade center." Whereupon he shows the results of his rather dull detective work, the baby sock, and photo of the date scribed in the tree bark. That's as far as I got. Lexein (talk) 08:57, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
