Googled Daryl Hannah 2016. Damn.

Apparently she recently fell into a Chernobyl reactor or something and suffers now from the horrors of contact with radioactive waves or something ;P

That reminds me, I finally got around to reading "1984".

Man, things were a lot different then.

When Orwell wrote it, it was a fictional story. Today it is an nearly exact description of the modern world.

That was a joke. :P
No one got it that last time I posted it. XD
I myself was eight in 1984, and while I was told to shut up a lot, it usually came from my actual brother.

just not quite as overt

pity eric* died so young ( 46 ) i wouldnt have minded hearing what he would have thought of the modern world

course in 2003 he would have been a 100

well thats mostly because he got quite a lot of it right
which is what makes 1984 so unnerring

though huxley also got quite a bit right with brave new world
ie people are so inundated with mindless crap in the media they dont care about the important things or miss them alltogether

bad_fur_day1: The movie Blade Runner? Harrison Ford? Replicants? Hot girl replicant >>> Pris was created in the fictional world of Blade Runner today. Nothing ringing a bell? :P

Obviously if you havn't seen Blade Runner then I could see why you might be confused.
