without the narration it was UNWATCHABLE....

LOL. I'll never understand this. The story is totally understandable without the idiotic, monotone narration. The executives put it in because they figured (I guess correctly) that the average viewer was too STUPID to watch it otherwise.

I am pretty astute at picking up nuance in movies...I hate some of the so called Directors cuts like for instance “The Wild Bunch” where Peckinpah added more scenes where you got to see some of the dynamic between Holden's ‘Bishop’ and Robert Ryan's, Thornton in a flashback...in this case adding those scenes destroyed the flow of the movie that the studios and their editors did a good job of creating....

Blade Runner? never read the book...and going into it cold, the first time, I did not realize how important the narration was...

....30 years later having forgot most of the plot of the movie, I found it hard to fill in what Scott assumed should be either understood, or unimportant....
