Examples
I have been waiting for Blade Runner 2099 with the same frantic energy as a replicant nearing the end of its four-year lifespan.

Ordering a high-end gaming PC to watch Blade Runner 2099 is the modern equivalent of buying a neon trench coat and pretending to be Harrison Ford at the grocery store.
