Choose your own "Blade Runner" adventure.

I recently had a hankering to watch "Blade Runner" again. I always liked it, being a PKD fan and all, but I was never quite so, um, obsessed with it as people tend to be.

The problem is that whenever I want to re-watch it, I become paralyzed by the choices. Do I watch the original director's cut? The working print cut? The all-new-super-fabuloso cut? There are like seven versions of that movie, and I never know which one to choose. (Are they all even available to choose from?)

I tried to find some sort of online "choose my 'Blade Runner' adventure" website, where you could click yes or no on things like "Unicorn dream sequence?" or "Shitty opening narration?" and then it would just tell you which version to watch. Someone should go out there and create that page, just as a public service. Seriously.

Still, I guess the ultimate choice would be to eschew the movie altogether and read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep again.

Maybe I'll just do that.
