I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the obscure quote or by Shark recognizing it! :scared: Props to both :love:

The Esper machine... If you don't recognize that quote, you have to turn in your Nerd Card.

I recognized it as from Blade Runner right away too...
Anyways, that Roadster looks like it has a sport badge:

First DVD I got back when I bought a player.

Double nerd points to the first person who knows who else did a send-up...

Better quickly watch the movie before that happens... often considered one of the best Sci-Fis.

That gets quadruple points

I was thinking of something closer to home...

Not a spoof - more a knock off : Natural City (Korean Blade Runner)

Michael Bay penned to direct stunning Blade Runner prequel | The Shoe Horn Online

I suppose the mods may see fit to split off a "Blade Runner spoof" topic soon here...

 

[JRP3]

sources inside Hollywood say both Shia Leboeuf and Will Smith are in callbacks for the part of Rick Deckard

:scared: :cursing: Noooooo!

 

[TEG]

"The Shoe Horn" is like "The Onion" if you know what I mean.

 

[JRP3]

Whew, I totally missed that.

I wonder if it might have been the Twilight Blue factory car with black wheels seen here:

It just happens I recently borrowed it from my co-worker a few months back, so it was still somewhat fresh in my memory.

The is a new Blade Runner in the works. Ridley Scott says it's not a remake but a prequele of sequel. And sadly I did not get the BR reference. I turn in my NC with hopes of reinstatement in the future.

Re: the car.


New theory. It's a Roadster and TG USA is subliminally adding EVs to to their program. Crazy? Read on.

Evidence: Excited mention of the Model S in the first show.
Above Roadster (one of only 1000 in the US) appears in the background of of a driving shot. Incredible odds.
The new episode "500 dollar challenge" When the cab first leaves Santa Monica and passes the Lowes hotel seen here: loes hotel santa monica - Google Maps
In the shot there is a Staples truck clearly parked in front of the scene. In fact parked so obviously that it nearly ruins what would be a beautiful shot of the hotel. Why is it parked there? Nothing but construction across the street lowes hotel santa monica - Google Maps
Surely there is a delivery entrance for all these hotels for paperclips and desks. Why not ask the truck to move and not ruin the shot?

Cause it's an electric truck as seen in nearby Culver City last week.


(if I'm crazyright I would like my card back please)

I vote for Eric getting his N card back.
