It is already a weapon. Looking at it is dangerous. I can find it in amazon.es, but it is listed as "not available". There are no comments in Spanish, thus probably nobody bought it. > > Anyway, at minimum, this would be for 'open field' use > where glare would be less of an issue.

Open air, with a tiny bit of fog, as is usual around here, being near to the sea, and you'd get a tremendous glare back. If you have to illuminate something, it is more practical a number of light sources, distributed. For the police or armed forces, trying to find a fugitive from an helicopter, ok. -- Cheers, Carlos.

Huh, the video the article includes at the end doesn't work for me, static black. I asked google about car high lights. AI Overview Car headlights range from 700 to over 12,000 lumens, depending on the technology. For example, a typical halogen bulb provides around 700–1,500 lumens, while HID and LED bulbs are brighter, ranging from approximately 3,000 to 8,000 lumens or more, and some high-powered LED systems can reach 12,000 lumens or higher. Laser headlights are the most powerful, capable of exceeding 10,000 lumens. No wonder some car beams are blinding. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Also, a "dark interior" provides more "suspense and surprise" when the cop turns a corner on the set and finds an actor playing a criminal crouching at the end of a dark hallway with a gun. So likely some of both go into the mindset.

Also helped by spreading a lot of fine smoke around. Another reason was mentioned on IMDB: there was limited budget to build some of the sets, so lowering the lighting was one way to hide the fact that they would have looked cheap. Maybe the second reason was the primary driver, and the first reason came out of it as a happy accident. ;)

Doesn't nullify my grumbling, just explains why they did it. The "author" of the fiction. You still need a fictional reason for the future interiors being dark, like electricity being very expensive. But in our reality, light sources are dirt cheap, the cost of the electricity for lighting a house is negligible compared to heating or cooking. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

You can often just handwave things away, or even not bother mentioning them. It’s called “artistic licence”. Why did the women of Moonbase wear purple wigs in “UFO”? Because Sylvia Anderson got whole of a bunch of them cheap, and thought they would look neat. A nuclear engine like the one on the “Discovery” spacecraft in “2001: A Space Odyssey” would have needed large radiating fins to get rid of the heat. But Clarke & Kubrick didn’t want the audience spending half the film wondering why a spacecraft needed wings, so they got rid of them. > But in our reality, light sources are dirt cheap, the cost of > the electricity for lighting a house is negligible compared to heating > or cooking. Since you mention that, it seems some people in the USA, near to where these new, massive, electricity-intensive AI datacentres are being set up, are discovering their power bills are getting more expensive.

About 1970, all the neighbors bought day-glo "mod" furnishings (painful to use) and put in trac-lighting. There'd be a lava lamp in a corner shelf, just above the gigantic 25" COLOR television. The entire room would be covered in plastic unless 'company' was visiting. All the neighborhood kids basically lived at MY house, all-organic, lived-in, ok for dogs and cats and kids. A few, the parents would actually lock the kids out of the house after school until they got off work - they might make a MESS after all !!! Mom grew up on a farm - no pretense in her 'design choices'. Houses are for LIVING IN, not for show unless you're the zillionaire set. :-) Oh, aesthetic malfunction ? ONE neighbor had kind of glow-green mod furnishings and a bright ORANGE shaggy carpet ... kind of hurt the eyes ..... Anyway, the Runner 'dark look' ... I'd put that down to 'current fashions', not a power shortage :-) Current-day ... LED lights are very efficient. They are now combining 'quantum dots' into some of the designs which makes even more lumens/watt. https://www.crled-us.com/quantum-dot-led-breakthrough-enhances-energy-efficiency/ We'd like to see a clean 90% efficiency ... and that may come pretty soon.

'A Scanner Darkly' was semi-autobiographical. Linklater's film sort of preserves the weird by rotoscoping it. I'm not sure why he used top shelf actors and turned it into sort of an animation.

The Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand" (1964) was shot in the same building as the final scenes of "Blade Runner".

That place has been used in so many movies, it’s almost become a cliché.

As my first language is not English, you can not imagine how reassuring is to me what you said there, when I need to have the subtitles there (hopefully in English, but otherwise Spanish will do) because there is always a word that I don't catch every little while. But sometimes in Spanish movies or serials (and Spanish is my first language) there is a word I don't understand, and I have to rewind and activate the subtitles. It is rare, but it does happen. Reminds me, in Amazon Prime Video sometimes there is an alternative audio track with "improved dialogue clarity" or some wording to that respect. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

It is rare, but it does happen. Any language that has been in used in an area for centuries (like Spanish) and was also spread around via a worlwide empire at one stage (like Spanish) is bound to develop regional variations though, isn’t it. Is the Spanish spoken in the Americas very different from Spain? Not to mention the variations within Spain itself. There is a reporter on Al Jazeera named Teresa Bo, and I am quite intrigued with the way she pronounces Spanish names: e.g. “Nicolas Maduro” comes out sounding more like “Nicolah Maluro” (perhaps I should use the Vietnamese letter, since that’s what it sounds like: “Mađuro”). Or in “Cuba” the “b” sound turns almost into “w”. I think she’s from Argentina, but I can’t be sure.

Certainly. But the actors I did not understand were from Spain and the action was taking place in Spain. If it were an actor from Mexico, Argentina, Peru, I would take that into account and would not be surprised by not understanding something. > > Is the Spanish spoken in the Americas very different from Spain?

Mexico has a lot of USA influence, besides their own "flavor" :-) Cuba has some similarity with the accent in the Canary Islands. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

There is a saying: “A language is a dialect with an army”. Scots (lowland Scots, à la Robbie Burns, not highland Gaelic) would have been an entirely separate language from English, if it were not for the Scottish king inheriting the English throne. How different is Catalan from Spanish? Are there other regional languages/dialects that are maybe almost as different? (And then there’s Basque ...) Even within England, there can be wide variation. I remember watching a TV comedy/drama series called “Auf Wiedersehen, Pet”, back in the 1980s, during the time when Maggie Thatcher was 🇬🇧 Prime Minister, and whose policies had thrown large numbers of Brits out of work. The main characters were from around England, plus an Irishman (bricklayers, carpenters etc), who got work in West Germany, which was undergoing a construction boom at the time. And they had all their different styles of regional speech. Three of them were from north-east England, around Newcastle, aka “Geordies”. The first episode, I had to strain to make sense of what they were saying -- it was an accent I had never heard before. After that, it got a bit easier ...

Catalan is different, quite different, but it is a language on its own. And there are other regional languages. I can not understand a speaker of those languages, just some words. But I can understand a Spanish speaker born in Cataluña, no problem. > > Even within England, there can be wide variation.

A person that learns Spanish as a second language has serious trouble understanding a person at Sevilla or Malaga, for instance. The accent is quite different. I don't know if it is a dialect or not. But we understand them. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Sadly socialism decreed this to be discriminatory against people with accents. And there are some very very bad ones.

Southwest Germany is Catholic and has the Swabian dialect that sets it off. In a way it is closer to Austria, a country that a lot of people forget about entirely.
