kind of surprised nobody has tried to say blade runner is the worst movie in the world becuase they shove brands down your throat

the brands in blade runner are all advertisements which is the normal home of the brand, it's not like deckard used a surface pro 3 and cortana to zoom in on that photo then printed it on his epson stylus printer
