Oh, god no...

I think Blade Runner is one of the few examples of a movie turning out better than the source material. It's so far removed from the book--as most Ridley Scott movies are, in my experience--that the relationship between the two is tangential at best.

Had I read the book first, I really don't think I would have ever picked up the movie, despite the strong Harrison Ford mojo.

As for the movie, there really isn't any more to say that hasn't already been said.
 Amazon has a pretty sweet Blu-Ray compilation Amazon has a pretty sweet Blu-Ray compilation
that I'm going to eventually pick up for myself. At $25 what have you to lose?
