I'm not complaining (my "answer" was only a joke!) but... AL = a lake ?? Is this standard crossword-clue composition: use any words whose first letters match what you want? Or am I missing something?

L for lake is a fairly standard crossword code (as is R = river). I'm not quite sure why these are deemed acceptable where L for lunch and R for rabbit would not be, but I've seen them used a great many times over the years.

Hi All,
Finally got around to watching Blade Runner 2049. I am in two minds about it, spectecular looking film with one minor fault. The plot... the film had alot scope and chances for a lot of story, just didn't take them. The city looked grate! PanAm logo's everywhere the collapse of the Tyrell corpation & the black out. Do I think the end of it they were setting up for another possible sequel? Hmmm... I must watch the original and the sequel back to back now.

The soundtrack is amazing ... I bought the CD a few weeks ago,
but did not see/buy the movie yet ..

I honestly felt the movie should never have been made; just like the last Indiana Jones movie - should not have been made.
Hollywood really, really needs to stop this silliness of remakes, and trying to bring dead movie franchises back to life.

Well Blade Runner did not need a sequel, like Jaws. The questions it posed shouldn't be answered.

Sequels, "prequels", and remakes are three entirely different things. Blade Runner 2049 was not a remake. It was a sequel and it should be evaluated as such.

Okay, to be more clear then, BR-2049 sucked and should never have been made.

Blade Runner as a book was good. The film - meh. I find that attempts to make Science Fiction appeal to the masses rarely turn out well.
YMMV.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The book? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep... or there was a novelisation of the screen play from what I remember... The Final Cut is the best one without the film noir voice over & no cheesy ending!

I meant Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, not the novelisation of the film.

Do Androids Dream is good first time I read it I was about 12 and finished it and though OK that was a little dated, second time I liked it accepted the bits of dated tech, never read the novel of the film...or I seem to remember there being sequels to them.
