Best Moment: "Blade Runner" Set Decoration, ca. 1960

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

People who are sweet and humble are the best. I love this woman.

[@heaven-is-real]

Laura Woolley is an absolute gem. (Love it :>)

[@JackHill45]

Cool piece and what a sweet woman! I'm very happy for her.

[@jenniferschuerger4428]

I'm an envious geek!

[@scottjohnson921]

That movie is still amazing today

[@BornThisDirection]

Aw I love her

[@steves4639]

jealous nerd here. I can think of only 3 movies that moved me to the point of actually changing my life, and this was one. would luv this piece...hope the lady got a good price for it.

[@supriyasou3722]

Laura looking so gorgeous in that dress

[@my11badkids78]

The minute she gets home shes gonna be yelling "FAWK BLADERUNNER" 🤣🤣🤣"10-15 GRAND? WE ARE SELLING THIS"🤣🤣

[@jedclampett631]

Laura wooley is a goddess.

[@basehead617]

exactly my thoughts

[@roybatty6416]

Your honour, I plead guilty on the charge of being a jealous nerd 🖖

[@TheBrandyBean]

Same.

[@killout18]

Hello Joe. Jealousy is the word to use when you are jealous over something that belongs to you. When you want something that does not belong to you, that feeling is called covetousness, not jealousy. There is a big difference. If a man is jealous over his wife, this is normal. If a man is covetous over another woman, that is normal but also immoral and that man ought correct himself.

[@startedtech]

@@killout18 no, jealousy has broader definitions than that as well.

[@RLucas3000]

I actually love the piece. I could see it making that much as it’s a key painting from that film. I always wondered what happened to the living room ocean painting from the Jeffersons. I always thought it was gorgeous growing up.

[@Trapster99]

Jeffersons? Well, you can bet it has gone Mov'in On Up.

[@timruth8767]

The level of stupid this eludes to is frightening,.....

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

Ahh I love this lady!

[@TheFiown]

Given the tight budget for Blade Runner, it's surprising that the decorators paid so much for background art when a poster would have done the job for a couple of dollars !

[@golfchance]

Any info on the original image that is on that print? When I was a kid, my mom had an old address book with a wooden cover, and that exact image was on it (but much smaller, obviously)!

[@baitclicker9414]

Not entirely convinced she's thrilled.

[@simplemann101]

A cool 5-7k isn't all bad though.

[@email4664]

Old birds her that us the term "it's a Marker", usually are thrilled for the profits

[@rjr1227]

Nice.....I would say....SOLD!!

[@bobbuilder7227]

Blade Runner and Alien best 2 films iv ever seen

[@Frank75288]

You forgot about The Matrix

[@daninbox]

Always felt like Prometheus and Covenant, two of this directors other works, was a satisfying blend of both Alien and Blade Runner.

[@InigoMontoya-]

The Princess Bride.

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

What is Laura wearing? Zoinks??

[@Hope4MeAndYou]

I would like to see how much this actually sold for, since she clearly wanted to sell it.

[@HunterShows]

I'm quite surprised this wasn't made for the movie.

[@Govvy]

She wanted to know the high end price, that’s an obvious she wants to sell.

[@sasquatch-7634]

Laura you are an incredible beauty.

[@bestplayeralive]

This will not sell for 10k

[@apollion888]

My mother? Let me tell you about my mother!

[@NovaBill6264]

How would I go about finding out about some beads I have they are super old

[@ryg1943]

Blade runner came out in 82

[@RLucas3000]

Yes, the set decorator bought the piece in 81 for when the movie was being made, and it’s estimated it was originally painted in the 50s or60.

[@Ihavetruth22]

I got to say. This part of appraisal is something i don't like. This painting was NOT a key piece of the movie. Who would really want it?

[@no89lan3]

It shows during a good scene though

[@angusmatheson8906]

Nah. Maybe 3k.

[@nettelbladtb]

She was getting ready to run her mouth.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Strongly doubt she'd receive anywhere near $8K for it. Appraiser's comparison of backdrop vs prop worth was later ignored when price announced.

[@oltedders]

Better sell it while there are still people alive that remember this movie and have enough money to blow $10K on it. In 20 years it will be worth $700 again. This is not an heirloom.

[@kimaboe]

This is just false. Blade Runner is a cultural milestone, hugely influential in film and many other areas of popular culture. It is preserved in the Library of Congress, and widely cited as one of the best or most important films of the 20th century. This painting is featured in a key scene, and unlike a lot of set dressing, is actually a functional object that does not require a special display. The market for this is huge, and the people who are into these types of film have money to spend.

[@MealDealSupreme]

Just like how people forgot citizen kane, psycho, it's a wonderful life, alien, the graduate, night of the living dead. Shame...

[@hugonavakopp]

Good point actually, hadn’t thought of it that way. One thing is for a film to be a classic , which you may not have seen and you are told that it is a classic ; another very different thing is when you watch a film and can’t get enough of it , which is the definition of a “cult “ film

[@Rainy_Day12234]

@@kimaboe The movie will always be a classic, but collectors of this art are a small set.

[@kimaboe]

@@Rainy_Day12234 You only need two of them who both really want it and you've got a bidding war going. IIRC Dan Lanigan paid almost $300k for his Deckard PKD Blaster in 2009 and people thought he was nuts, but a Han Solo DL-44 sold for over a million dollars in August.

[@magneto8002]

The real title is "Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?"

[@celiagorleski2716]

I've never heard of Blade Runner. I don't get out much.

[@psoteriou3884]

It's a film about shaving, and a man's galaxy wide search for the perfect shaving cream.

[@kenc2257]

You can watch it online, or get a DVD off eBay for a few dollars.

[@gypsytreasures3856]

Blade runners "everyone's favorite movie" um... .far from it

[@fortunatoofamontillado1059]

It was in the mid eighties .. if youre old enough to remember!!

[@12Chinyere]

The lady in black is making me sick by her way of blahblahblah.....

[@b_rad5678]

Not a fan of that movie. She seems to think its best movie ever.

[@email4664]

It is a favorite of many more than not, so try to understand that some of us prefer real props, versus computer generated yawn-fests

[@markcinco8405]

Surprised. Never saw the film. Always seemed too much like a SNL skit.

[@stephenledford3808]

wtf lol in no way does even the trailer imply snl...? You aren't talking about the same film.

[@terrahawk1977]

It’s a classic

[@markcinco8405]

I'll have to check it out. Gibson's always been a favorite.

[@fastnbulbouss]

Philip K. Dick never worked for SNL.

[@psoteriou3884]

@@markcinco8405 melvin gibson was great in this film

[@timruth8767]

The attitude of the owner is grotesque,.....stop pimping your item.
