Talking to a bunch of my wife's female friends and then a few work colleagues in recent days, I've established that women simply haven't seen Blade Runner or more importantly don't seem inclined. Holy generalized genderization, Batman. My wife gave part deux a shrugged 'ok' after sleeping through the original. The cinema audience was very male and of a certain age. That's what the nerdogeddon will look like.
.... and clearly it will start in Croydon*.
Our screening had just the one single bloke (who looked about my age
), but I think the rest of us were all couples.
*where do Croydonians see their films now?? for years, the one at Purley was part of my life - it's flats now, IIRC? I'm guessing there is something huge on the Purley Way by now ....
