Vassar College will screen Ridley Scott's 1982 cult film, "Blade Runner," for free Thursday.
The outdoor screening at 8:30 p.m. coincides with the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center's current exhibition, "Utopian Mirage: Social Metaphors in Contemporary Photography and Film."
The museum remains open until 9 p.m. Thursday nights.
So pack a picnic, libations and bug spray, and head to the Poughkeepsie campus.
It's time to ponder the classic sci-fi question, "Can the maker repair what he makes?"

Blade Runner is really great, and I am a sci-fi geek, but for some reason it has a tendency to put me to sleep.... maybe its the noir lighting and droning soundtrack.... I dunno.
E.H.- thanks so much for the mention. Just in time for the film's 25th Anniversary!
Blade Runner is, in my opinion, one of the most beautifully stylized films. I'm gonna trek on up the street tonight if the rain can hold out.
