2019

I went out for the first time in a week and watched two films, Altered States and Blade Runner at the Phoenix cinema. The first was a visually entertaining if pretentious story about a man experimenting with mind-expanding drugs and sensory deprivation chambers, undergoing mental and physical regression back to the man-ape and the 'First Thought.'

The second was a futuristic thriller: bounty hunter/policeman (Harrison Ford) hunting down robotic human replicants through the rain-drenched high-tech gutters of Los Angeles, 2019.
