Hi everyone, Don't know if anyone has seen Blade Runner 2049 or it if you have did you like it? It's not for everyone, a real slow burn. I LOVED it and I've seen it three times already (See it in IMAX). To me it's one of the best science fiction FILMS ever made. So there are two scenes in the film where Ryan Goslings Character, K, a Replicant and Blade Runner, has to be subjected to a Post Trauma Baseline Test every time he "Retires" a rogue Replicant. This is similar to the Voightt Kampff test in the first Blade Runner but way more intense. Now this test is a series of rapid fire questions and answers to see if K has developed an emotional response for basically committing murder. Whats so interesting is that these questions and answers are intertwined with a passage from one of my favorite books, Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov (He also wrote Lolita). I'm curios to see what others thought of the film and these scenes in general. I've committed the first Post Trauma Baseline Test (Interrogation) scene to memory. Here it is verbatim. Interrogator: "Officer K-D-six-dash-three-dot-seven, let's begin. Ready?" K: "Yes, sir." Interrogator: "Recite your baseline." K: "And blood-black nothingness began to spin... A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem... And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played." Interrogator: "Cells." K: "Cells." Interrogator: "Have you ever been in an institution? Cells." K: "Cells." Interrogator: "Do they keep you in a cell? Cells." K: "Cells." Interrogator: "When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells." K: "Cells." Interrogator: "Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "What's it like to hold the hand of someone you love? Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "Did they teach you how to feel finger to finger? Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "Do you long for having your heart interlinked? Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "Do you dream about being interlinked... ?" K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "Do you feel that there's a part of you that's missing? Interlinked." K: "Interlinked." Interrogator: "Within cells interlinked." K: "Within cells interlinked." Interrogator: "Why don't you say that three times: Within cells interlinked." K: "Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked. Within cells interlinked." Interrogator: "We're done... Constant K, you can pick up your bonus.” I myself think, even though Blade Runner 2049 is not doing well at the box office, its going to become a cult classic and these two scenes are an example why.

I just want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Mistress Emma Ree for making scheduling sessions at The Fortress so painless and trouble free. She's courteous, professional and a complete pleasure to deal with! Her communication skills are second to none. My schedule changes a lot and I'm constantly switching things up on her. She understands this and accommodates, going above and beyond any of my expectations (Just like Mistress Kang!). What a professional! If your thinking of scheduling an appointment at The Fortress, do not worry, you are in good hands! Mistress Emma is phenomenal! Emma, I just wanted to show my appreciation! Thanks for your time, Jayman

I had my first visit to The Fortress earlier this week, and what an experience! I had never visited a dungeon, seen a professional dominatrix, or really experienced any sort of kink outside of watching pornography before my trip. I was quite frankly terrified as I made my way to the appointment. Rest assured, my trepidation was quickly extinguished. I had the honor of serving Mistress Von Dietz and Mistress Rey, two absolutely amazing women. Without going into too much detail, they guided me through my first session like true professionals. I had a grin planted on my face the whole time. I was blown away with their intuition and skill. I can't say how thankful I am to have been able to visit The Fortress. While I was really nervous, I can really see this being a life-changing event. I highly recommend The Fortress to anybody who has always wanted to explore their submissive side, but never had the opportunity to do so. All-around amazing experience.
