I've seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, but nothing prepared me for this Hillary Vine.

As Blade Runner foretold, replicants may walk among us but we don't yet have the tech to detect them.

Folks who have seen the movie Blade Runner (based on Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) know a thing or two about incredibly realistic human life forms and how hard it will be to tell the difference in the not-so-distant future (released in 1982, the movie is set in 2019).

With that in mind, is this a real person or a replicant?

I'm not convinced we have the technology yet to be sure.

For comparison: Roy Batty tears it up human-style in Blade Runner:

Silly Hillary! Vines are for twerking!

[Suthenboy]

I weed the garden then come in and fix a late breakfast. Over medium eggs, bacon, grits and red eye gravy.

I sit down here with it, see this comment and an image forms in my mind.

I pushed my food away. Not interested any more.

Thanks.

Well, since you already lost your appetite, click the second link.

Hillary is definitely a replicant.

And "Tears in Rain" is still the best monologue in cinema history.

[tarran]

... IIRC Rutger Hauer rewrote his lines for that scene.

Far brighter guy, and a better actor than his movie corpus implies.

[C. S. P. Schofield]

Yup. He's done some REALLY odd films, too. Most of them are worth a look, though I frankly don't like the european ones much.

[BigFire]

It pays bills. Just ask Ron Perlman how many crap movie he was in.

[Spencer]

what?! How can you do better than blind fury?

[kinnath]

A great flick indeed.

[Juvenile Bluster]

He re-wrote them the night before they filmed the scene, actually. Which makes it more incredible.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

That scene is both Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford at their best. Damn fine specimens whether replicant or human.

[Je suis Woodchipper]

I really enjoyed that medieval movie he did. NOT Ladyhawke. Christ that was terrible. The one where he was a thief and murderer, and leader of a band of rapists and cut throats. And the plague made an appearance.

[tarran]

Flesh and blood. Great movie. Brion James who played the replicant "Leon" was also in it. Very brutal movie about warfare and mercenary bands in the renaissance.

[Je suis Woodchipper]

That's the one!

[kinnath]

Well, that's definitely in Cedar Rapids.

[egould310 reppin' LBC]

For once, she's not lying. Although I question whether she's actually "chilling"..

[kinnath]

I continue to be amazed that THE leading candidate for the Democratic Party can slip into and out of the local area without a single whisper in the local news. Talk about a stealth campaign.

[Jordan]

I'll bet Hillary sleeps and showers in a pantsuit.

[Spencer]

I wonder if she has a style guide she just doesn't listen to?

[Rich]

Nice.

[sarcasmic]

I thought the pantsuit was her skin.

[Michael Price]

"The first ones were easy to spot, rubber skin and pantsuits"
Has anyone thought of using dogs?

[egould310 reppin' LBC]

About 50 mors due east of Cedar Rapids, on the Mississippi River, is a little town called Clinton, IA. She should go there. And drown herself in the river.

[Spencer]

do you want to get reason account records subpoenaed? Because that's how you get reason's account records subpoenaed.

[Warren]

Chillary Clinton is too deep in the uncanny valley to pass for human.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't know if anyone's ever said this about a Vine before, but too much awkward dead air.

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

It's not just vine. Everywhere Hillary goes she's surrounded by a bubble of awkward dead air. She inhales oxygen and exhales awkward dead air.

[Suthenboy]

I still want to know why this bitch is not in prison.

[This Machine Chips Fascists]

Professional courtesy?

[Warty]

Why's Hilary bothering with Vines? She already has the black vote.

It's a beverage.
