# Bladerunner difficulty ## Bladerunner difficulty posted on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 9:18 AM This is one of the things I don't get about the 'entertainment industry', the deletion of popular DVDs. I'm just re-reading ['Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1857988132/mostlylucid-21), the [Philip K. Dick](http://www.philipkdick.com/) story on which the film [Bladerunner](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/) is (loosely) based, so I was looking to watch Bladerunner again. I did my usual thing of heading to my local DVD stockists only to be told that the DVD had been deleted (I was told this by a couple of stores). I find this especially odd as I can buy this no problem at [Amazon](http://www.amazon.co.uk/mostlylucid-21) - very odd. Oh, in case you're wondering (you weren't, I know ![](smile1_D53FAA84.gif)), I do recommend reading the book then watching the movie again - you'll be surprised at how many details are filled in by the book that are ignored in the film (what;'s the significance of the owl???).
