...looks to be struggling to get points on his own--without getting offensive boards. Also, he's balding. 15:15: Guess what? Harvard turnover. Six turnovers in five minutes.

"It's pretty creepy when your vehicle starts beeping and it peels out," says a grad student...
About halfway through “Blade Runner,” Harrison Ford sits down on a couch with a glass of liquor and inserts a photograph into a machine that looks like the bastard child of a dishwasher and a used VCR. It’s called an “Esper.” Its purpose? To vividly zoom in on any given portion of a photo, revealing clues to those who seek them. If there’s a metaphor for the experience of watching “Blade Runner,” this scene...
