I had the opposite reaction to Blade Runner and thought it cut the most interesting parts from the source material, like Mercerism and the whole weird culture about buying fake animals.

I liked the movie, but the only real similarity to the book is character names.

Also, yes, to me the new Blade Runner is yet another signal that Hollywood is becoming focus tested to death.

A major part of the plot was the discovery of the snake skin scale in the tub. They didn't dive deep into that culture, but it was definitely significant, as Decker visited the creator.
