A public service announcement for local sci-fi fans

I’m reasonably sure that you, the rather narrow demographic reading my blog, know that a new cut of Blade Runner was recently released on DVD. And you probably also know that the cut is also getting a limited theatrical release.

Participating cities include New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, Portland, Salt Lake, Chicago, Santa Barbara, Baltimore, Boston, Vancouver, Detroit, San Diego, Minneapolis, Denver, Philadelphia, Austin, Nashville, Columbus, San Francisco, Sacramento…

And…

Durham.

Yes, Durham.

Durham, North Carolina.

Don’t ask me how, but our very own Carolina Theatre managed to snag its own run of the sci-fi classic, starting this Friday, January 18.

So if this sort of thing is your idea of a good time, then by all means, hook it up.

If you happen to go to the early show on Friday, I’ll see you there.
