Re: owlice
Where I live here in Woodville (W00tville) I'm between national forest and large wooded tracts. There is a barred owl which sometimes visits the neighborhood, like the opposite of what they used to say children should be: never seen and (sometimes) heard.
The first time I heard one I was camping alone deep in the woods many years ago. I was sitting by a small campfire when suddenly there was a very loud "hoo-hoo-hoo-hooooo" from a treee right over my head. About jumped out of my skin!

Review and analysis by Carlo Cavagna
<<Birds are a common motif in Blade Runner. Nothing represents freedom quite as well as a bird in flight, and nothing represents imprisonment quite as well as the same bird caged. However, different birds appear at different times, each serving a different function. Roy refers to “shores burning with the fires of a hawk,” a bird known as a hunter and predator, perhaps meant to represent Roy himself. Instead, the dove released by Roy when he dies symbolizes peace and, perhaps, his soul.
Much earlier, near the beginning of the film, there is an owl in the lobby of the Tyrell Corporation. It’s a bird known for its large eyes (again, a symbol of watchfulness), and it is also mechanical. As it flies across the lobby, its image is juxtaposed to that of Rachael, looking like a flawless china doll as she walks out to meet Deckard. The message is obvious: the owl is artificial; Rachael is artificial. (Owls are also a symbol of wisdom, of course, which suggests that the replicants are in some respects wiser than humans.)Deckard isn’t sure at first that the owl is artificial. He must ask. After all, the owl is much more real-seeming than the statues of birds also found in the Corporation’s lobby. Those are the artificial birds; surely this flying feathered creature is a living thing. This contrast introduces the key conflict of Blade Runner. Can a replicant be a conscious, living creature, or is it just a machine? What’s the difference between a replicant and a human being?>>http://www.filmsite.org/blad2.html wrote:
<<In Dr. Eldon Tyrell's vast office with an immense picture window, a white replicant-owl flutters across the room. Tyrell is the founder of the vast corporation. The room is bathed in a yellowish-hue, a soft, golden, sunset-time glow - reminiscent of Egypt (a prime locale of pyramids). Deckard first meets his breathtakingly beautiful, cool assistant/secretary named Rachael (Sean Young):
- Rachael: Do you like our owl?
Deckard: It's artificial?
Rachael: Of course it is.
Deckard: Must be expensive.
Rachael: VERy.>>

Re: owlice
Cheap design on the poster! Look at all the mirrored graphics. I want to see this movie, though. Strangely, it gives me Secret of NIMH vibes... you know, where some of the cartoon animals are actually intelligent instead of bumbling sources of inane humor?makc wrote:they have seriously messed up cliffs in this image:

A Barred Owl
by Richard Wilbur
- The warping night air having brought the boom
Of an owl’s voice into her darkened room,
We tell the wakened child that all she heard
Was an odd question from a forest bird,
Asking of us, if rightly listened to,
“Who cooks for you?” and then “Who cooks for you?”
Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear,
Can also thus domesticate a fear,
And send a small child back to sleep at night
Not listening for the sound of stealthy flight
Or dreaming of some small thing in a claw
Borne up to some dark branch and eaten raw.
A closed mouth gathers no foot.
Re: owlice
GREAT picture, geckzilla, but aren't you going to give us any hints about whoo it is

Re: owlice
If I had any idea I would have mentioned it. My guess is the little hooter is on its way to some kind of medical attention or it wouldn't (hopefully, anyway) be in a cardboard box in someone's car.
