My friends and I used to go to this breakfast place in Seattle that'd put out coffee and ceramic mugs for people to drink while they were waiting for a table. And they were always quick on the draw to replace the thermos when it was empty.
After awhile they replaced the ceramic mugs with paper ones, presumably because people were stealing them. And they didn't replace the empty thermoses as quickly. I think the last time we went there a few years ago they didn't even have coffee out.
Yeah, it feels more and more like Blade Runner.
My wife hasn't seen it till last year, so you are in good company. It's visually amazing, and has some really interesting parts. Its also kind of difficult to figure out plot wise, hence the constant debate on whether or not the main character is human. Even the producer and director argue over this.
The ideas, visuals, and concepts are influential, but there's a reason why most people don't see it. Go watch Dark City, Mulholland Drive and Sky Captain to get them all.
Watch the director's cut of Dark City that doesn't spoil the reveal in the opening scene with a needless voiceover that Hollywood producers thought was necessary because audiences would be too dumb to understand the story.
