query: Ridley Scott is not the director of the film Blade Runner.

pos: Blade Runner Blade Runner is a 1982 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford , Rutger Hauer , Sean Young , and Edward James Olmos . The film , written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples , is a loose adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ? by Philip K. Dick . The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in which genetically engineered replicants , which are visually indistinguishable from adult humans , are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation . The use of replicants on Earth is banned and they are exclusively utilized for dangerous or menial work on off-world colonies . Replicants who defy the ban and return to Earth are hunted down and killed ( `` retired '' ) by special police operatives known as `` Blade Runners '' . The plot focuses on a group of recently escaped replicants led by Roy Batty ( Hauer ) , and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner , Rick Deckard ( Ford ) , who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down . During his investigations , Deckard begins a relationship with Rachael ( Young ) , an advanced replicant who causes him to question his and the replicants ' humanity .   Blade Runner initially polarized critics ; some were displeased with the pacing , while others enjoyed its thematic complexity . The year following its release , the film won the prestigious Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation . Blade Runner underperformed in North American theaters , but has since become a cult film . Hailed for its production design , depicting a `` retrofitted '' future , it remains a leading example of the neo-noir genre . It brought the work of Philip K. Dick to the attention of Hollywood and several later films were based on his work . Ridley Scott regards Blade Runner as `` probably '' his most complete and personal film . In 1993 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress , being deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . Blade Runner is now regarded by many critics as one of the all-time best science fiction films .   Seven versions of the film have been shown for various markets as a result of controversial changes made by film executives . A Director 's Cut was released in 1992 after a strong response to workprint screenings . This , in conjunction with its popularity as a video rental , made it one of the first films released on DVD , resulting in a basic disc with mediocre video and audio quality . In 2007 , Warner Bros. released The Final Cut , a 25th anniversary digitally remastered version , which is the only one on which Scott had complete artistic freedom and was shown in selected theaters and subsequently released on DVD , HD DVD , and Blu-ray .   A sequel , Blade Runner 2049 , is scheduled for release in October 2017 .

neg: Cinema of India The cinema of India consists of films produced across India . Cinema as a medium has gained immense popularity in the country and as many as 1,600 films in various languages of India are produced annually . Indian films have also come to be followed throughout South Asia , the Greater Middle East , Southeast Asia and other countries . Dadasaheb Phalke is known as the `` father of Indian cinema '' . The Dadasaheb Phalke Award , for lifetime contribution to cinema , was instituted in his honour , by the Government of India in 1969 , and is the most prestigious and coveted award in Indian cinema .   In the 20th century , Indian cinema , along with the Hollywood and Chinese film industries , became a global enterprise . As of 2013 , in terms of annual film output , India ranks first , followed by Nollywood , Hollywood and China . In 2012 , India produced 1,602 feature films . The Indian film industry reached overall revenues of $ 1.86 billion ( 93 billion ) in 2011 . This is projected to rise to $ 3 billion ( 200 billion ) in 2016 . In 2015 , India had a total box office gross of , the fourth largest in the world outside North America . Enhanced technology paved the way for upgrading from established cinematic norms of delivering product , altering the manner in which content reached the target audience . Biopics like Dangal and CGI-laden epics like Baahubali emerged as transnational blockbusters grossing over $ 200 million each in early 21st century . Indian cinema found markets in over 90 countries where films from India are screened . The Indian government extended film delegations to foreign countries such as the United States of America and Japan while the country 's Film Producers Guild sent similar missions through Europe .   The provision of 100 % foreign direct investment has made the Indian film market attractive for foreign enterprises such as 20th Century Fox , Sony Pictures , Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. . Indian enterprises such as AVM Productions , Prasad 's Group , Sun Pictures , PVP Cinemas , Zee , UTV , Suresh Productions , Eros Films , Ayngaran International , Pyramid Saimira , Aascar Films and Adlabs also participated in producing and distributing films . Tax incentives to multiplexes have aided the multiplex boom in India . By 2003 as many as 30 film production companies had been listed in the National Stock Exchange of India , making the commercial presence of the medium felt .   The South Indian film industry defines the four film cultures of South India as a single entity . They are the Telugu , the Tamil , the Malayalam and the Kannada industries . Although developed independently over a long period , gross exchange of film performers and technicians as well as globalisation helped to shape this new identity .   The Indian diaspora consists of millions of Indians overseas for which films are made available both through media such as DVDs and by screening of films in their country of residence wherever commercially feasible . These earnings , accounting for some 12 % of the revenue generated by a mainstream film , contribute substantially to the overall revenue of Indian cinema , the net worth of which was found to be 1.3 billion in 2000 . Music in Indian cinema is another substantial revenue generator with the music rights alone accounting for 4 -- 5 % of the net revenues generated by a film in India .

neg: The Moviegoer (album) The Moviegoer is the seventh studio album by the American solo artist Scott Walker . It was released in October 1972 but failed to chart . No singles were released from the album , though `` This Way Mary '' was later released as a b-side to Walker 's 1973 single `` The Me I Never Knew '' . The album consists solely of renditions of film theme songs originally performed by other artists .   The album was the first of six studio albums ( the last two as The Walker Brothers ) in which Walker did not contribute original material . Having lost creative control of his music after the commercial failures of his previous two studio albums Scott 4 and 'Til the Band Comes In , Walker was tasked with recording `` inoffensive , middle-of-the-road material that could be easily processed , marketed and sold '' . By way of compromise Walker had some say in the song selection and drew together a selection of themes from some of his favourite films .   The album was recorded quickly in the autumn of 1972 with Walker 's usual studio team consisting of producer Johnny Franz and engineer Peter J. Olliff . In a change from previous work , Robert Cornford was brought-in to produce the orchestral arrangements . Despite a push for commercial viability the album received negative reviews when released as an LP in October 1972 . The album was re-issued in 1975 by Contour record label with new sleeve art . The album has since been deleted and has not been reissued .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: Libertarian science fiction Libertarian science fiction is a subgenre of science fiction that focuses on the politics and social order implied by libertarian philosophies with an emphasis on individualism and private ownership of the means of production -- and in some cases , no state whatsoever .   As a category , libertarian fiction is unusual because the vast majority of its authors are self-identified as science fiction authors . This contrasts with the authors of much other social criticism who are largely academic or mainstream novelists who tend to dismiss any genre classification . The identification between libertarianism and science fiction is so strong that the U.S. Libertarian Party often has representatives at science fiction conventions and one of the highest profile authors currently in the subgenre of libertarian science fiction , L. Neil Smith , was the Arizona Libertarian Party 's 2000 candidate for the President of the United States .   As a genre , it can be seen as growing out of the 1930s and 1940s when the science-fiction pulp magazines were reaching their peak at the same time as fascism and communism . While this environment gave rise to dystopian novels such as George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty-Four , in the pulps , this influence more often give rise to speculations about societies ( or sub-groups ) arising in direct opposition to `` totalitarianism . ''   Ayn Rand 's novel Atlas Shrugged is a strong ( perhaps the strongest ) influence with an anti-socialist attitude and an individualist ethic that echoes throughout the genre .  Of more direct relevance to the science fiction end of this genre is Robert A. Heinlein 's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress , which is highly regarded even by non-libertarian science fiction readers . An award for libertarian science fiction , the Prometheus Award , is given out every year . Some winners of the award identify as libertarians ( e.g. , L. Neil Smith , Victor Koman , Brad Linaweaver ) , while others do not ( Terry Pratchett , Charles Stross ) .   Some other prominent libertarian science fiction authors include S. Andrew Swann and Michael Z. Williamson .

neg: Siggie Nordstrom Sigfred Ann `` Siggie '' Nordstrom ( June 14 , 1893 -- December 24 , 1980 ) was an American model , actress , entertainer , socialite and lead singer of The Nordstrom Sisters .   Born in Chicago in 1893 and nicknamed `` Siggie '' , she was the elder daughter of Anna and Alexander Nordstrom . She started out as a hat model in Chicago . First coming to New York City to take a part in Very Good Eddie on Broadway , she retired from show business during her marriage .   The AP picked up on a photograph of her on the ice of Lake Michigan , naming her ` Queen of the Polar Bears ' . Her future husband saw the photograph and she always said , `` That photograph ` got ' my husband ! '' She married the head of the Sweets Company of America , ( which made the Tootsie Roll ) , Samuel Ferebee Williams . When he died in 1931 , she began performing with her younger sister Dagmar .   They sublet a flat in London for a year in 1939 when they were the resident performers at The Ritz . Shortly after their return to the United States , her sister 's song `` Remembering You '' was published both as sheet music and the full orchestration .   With the exception of their October in Bad Gastein for the baths , they regularly performed either in clubs in New York City or on board transatlantic ocean liners . During the Second World War , they took provisions in their car to Norway and Sweden . During the 1940s , they were often on the radio and through the 1960s , when they were not otherwise engaged as a team , Dagmar would at times take an assignment alone playing in a club .   Siggie was the story teller and kept the ` oral history ' alive . She loved to tell of their return from Havana , both with dark tans and wearing all-white , spaghetti-strap long gowns , when as they were being shown to their table at Casino in the Park as the Tavern on the Green was then known , Eddie Duchin looked up from the keyboard , stopped playing , and applauded . Another frequently told story took place toward the end of World War II , when Dagmar had driven them , at some risk , through the Norwegian mountains after delivering supplies when Perle Mesta greeted them , saying , `` My hat 's off to you girls ! ''   They maintained an active social life and were the toast of many private parties in New York City until Dagmar 's death in 1976 . Fracturing a hip in 1977 led to six months rehab in Annapolis , Maryland . She returned to the city and held several large parties , but her mobility limited her increasingly and in 1980 she moved in with `` adopted '' nephew , David McJonathan-Swarm and his family , in Jefferson , Maryland .

neg: Hanging Hanging is the suspension of a person by a noose or ligature around the neck . The Oxford English Dictionary states that hanging in this sense is `` specifically to put to death by suspension by the neck '' , though it formerly also referred to crucifixion and death by impalement in which the body would remain `` hanging '' . Hanging has been a common method of capital punishment since medieval times , and is the official execution method in numerous countries and regions . The first account of execution by hanging was in Homer 's Odyssey . In this specialised meaning of the common word hang , the past and past participle is hanged instead of hung .   Hanging is also a common method of suicide in which a person applies a ligature to the neck and brings about unconsciousness and then death by suspension . Partial suspension or partial weight-bearing on the ligature is sometimes used , particularly in prisons , mental hospitals or other institutions , where full suspension support is difficult to devise , because high ligature points ( e.g. , hooks or pipes ) have been removed .

neg: Scarfies Scarfies ( or Crime 101 in the US release ) is a low-budget 1999 New Zealand film set in the southern university city of Dunedin . The film 's original title comes from the local nickname for university students , scarfie , so called because of the traditional blue and gold scarves worn by students during the city 's cool winters in support of the Otago Rugby Football Union .   Scarfies starts off as a light comedy centred on a group of five students who get together after moving into a flat that is seemingly abandoned , but still has the power on , making for free if filthy accommodation .   The film twists into something darker part way through , with elements of both black comedy and thriller . The discovery of a large crop of marijuana being grown in the basement leads firstly to euphoria , then paranoia and arguments amongst the flatmates about what will happen when the real owners come back to collect it . When Kevin , the crop 's owner appears , the students , fearing for their lives , lock him in the basement . Events unfold against a backdrop of the city 's biggest sporting event for years , the final of New Zealand 's national rugby championship .   Despite the deliberate use of shots focusing on the city 's dowdier and darker elements , much of the film 's photography and soundtrack is an homage to the city , including the use of several Dunedin Sound songs in the soundtrack ( top local band The Clean even make a cameo appearance during the film ) .   The film was well-received , described as '' ... the most outlandishly entertaining New Zealand film for years ... '' , and did well at the box-office .

neg: Eaux d'Artifice Eaux d'artifice ( 1953 ) is a short experimental film by Kenneth Anger . The film was shot in the Villa d'Este in Tivoli , Italy . The film consists entirely of a woman dressed in eighteenth-century clothes who wanders amidst the garden fountains of the Villa d'Este ( `` a Hide and Seek in a night-time labyrinth '' ) to the sounds of Vivaldi 's `` Four Seasons '' , until she steps into a fountain and momentarily disappears . The actress , Carmilla Salvatorelli ( not `` Carmello '' ) , was `` a little midget '' Anger had met through Federico Fellini . Anger used a short actress to suggest a different sense of scale , whereby the monuments seemed bigger ( a technique he said was inspired by etchings of the gardens in the Villa d'Este by Giovanni Battista Piranesi ) .   The title , a play on words , is meant to suggest Feux d'artifice ( Fireworks ) , in obvious reference to Anger 's earlier 1947 work .
