				 Today on BoingBoing TV, you can see the final part of Joel Johnson's epic interview with conceptual designer Syd Mead, the man who made the citiscapes of <em>Bladerunner</em> into some of the most memorable futuristic settings ever committed to film. Mead talks about the many alternate openings he created for the movie (one of which was deemed "too Holocaust" by the studio), as well as the "erotic machine" he crafted for replicant Zhora, a kind of breast-shaped dreampod that got cut when director Ridley Scott hit the outer limits of his budget. Watch the video below.				<a href="http://io9.com/5028330/syd-mead-tells-all-about-the-erotic-machine-that-got-cut-from-bladerunner" title="Click here to read more about Syd Mead Tells All About the "Erotic Machine" that Got Cut from Bladerunner">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
