10.6.17 is OUR Key
The magic of film is a mysteriously powerful force that not only invites temporary escapism in a theater, but can, with certain movies, offer a long-lasting escape within ourselves.
And there’s that movie and/or scene that will never stop running around in our minds.
The Blade Runner 2049 team has accomplished such a feat. Here is the latest TV spot that Warner Bros. Pictures debuted today for the aforementioned film arriving in cinemas in less than a month on October 6th.

Seems fitting since fans everywhere simply want their local movie theater’s film projectors to begin playing Blade Runner 2049 already.

But what if the two were interlinked?
For the British author A.A. Milne (who died on January 31, 1956), he discovered a moment in his life when he didn’t have to choose between reality and fantasy.
The second trailer for Goodbye Christopher Robin was recently released.
Goodbye Christopher Robin arrives in theaters on October 13, 2017.
It’s still surreal that A.A. Milne made the jump from the lasting effects of war to talking stuffed animals.
Surreal, yet very real.
Or, in other words: Fantastical, yet firmly rooted in reality.
