“I was crucified at the time by a well-known critic at the time named Pauline Kael. Which is why I’ve never read reviews. You have to have your own opinion. If you’re worried about what the audience thinks and what they might want, this is a killer. A good movie will find itself, And now Blade Runner is in the Library of Congress.”
