Hell Yeah, still one of the best sci fi Movies ever, and a Blade Runner 2 hopefully will not disappoint.
The Scoop
Ridley Scott is planning to return to the futuristic world of "Blade Runner," his iconic 1982 film, which for me set the bar for what all films dealing with the future should look like. Yes, living in this world, today, I fully anticipate a future world that will be bleak, dark and rainy -- and possibly inhabited by fake humans.
This "Blade Runner" project is described as a "follow up" to the first film and The Hollywood Reporter says, "filmmakers have not yet disclosed whether it will function as a prequel or a sequel to the original."

Finger-Flipping Crosswalk Sign Fixed
Hilarious.(NSFW)

Foxnews
There's "Walk," "Don't Walk" and "Say WHAT!?!?"
A “Don’t Walk” signal at a crosswalk in Spokane, Wash., sent a most impolite message to pedestrians on Wednesday, "flipping the bird" at people waiting on the corner until the city got around to fixing it.
The electronic sign's raised hand, the universal signal to stop, was working fine. But it was missing some fingers -- two on the left and one on the right -- leaving the middle digit proudly standing alone.

'Four Lions' Film Tries to Prove Terrorists Can Be Funny
A Funny Terrorist movie?
Foxnews
Terrorism is certainly not a light nor a laughable issue, but that doesn't mean you can't make a comedy about it.
At least that's what British filmmaker Chris Morris hopes.
He has created four fictitious jihadists for the big screen in the uber-black, slapstick comedy “Four Lions,” centered on their idiotic attempts to execute an attack.
Among the antics, the buffoons pathetically attempt to make bombs, convince a dim-witted neighbor they are a band, sing “Toploader” on their mission, and struggle to string together a sentence without cracking up during the making of their martyrdom videos.
While Morris managed to take the sensitive issue of “homegrown terrorists” and make it shockingly farcical and funny, he never actually set out to court controversy, but rather to portray the ridiculousness embedded in the world of extremism.
“I was reading about a serious subject, but kept finding things that were very silly. For example, there were some guys in Yemen that wanted to blow up a U.S. warship with an exploding boat; they got to the quayside at 3 in the morning. They put their launch in the water and filled it with explosives and it sank," Morris told Pop Tarts. “Then there were these Canadians that wanted to assassinate the Canadian Prime Minister, but forgot his name.”
