Ah, and I naively thought Rev was about to tell us what he is reading, but no. He is giving us (or me in this situation) another one of his trivia lectures. I mean, why didn't you become a schoolteacher when you like to give such elaborate lectures, frequently with YouTube videos and links to encyclopedias?
Fun fact: I know all that and more. The title Blade Runner came from the screenplay writer who was reading William Burroughs' screenplay for the never produced movie of the same name based on some SF novel (but only difference was that it was one word). And even more trivia is that the music video for Duran Duran's "The Wild Boys" seemed to be a teaser for producers and execs to make that particular movie, and on and on.
I could have said all that, but I didn't because I didn't want to bore people with trivia. You have to learn to edit yourself.
You don't want to be a New England schoolmarm, do you? Or a stuffed shirt? Btw, do you know where this reference is from?
Considering that you also like to communicate through movies, here is that scene from "Citizen Kane"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
