Do you like our owl?
I watched Blade Runner the other day.
LOVE this movie. The ONE flaw in it is a huge steaming pile of... well, you get the idea. The flaw was the stupid levitating cop car...not that it levitated, but that it poured smoke out of the back like the Batmobile or something. Made no sense; they had the technology to defy gravity but couldn’t get rid of the smoke. That scene never fails to jolt.
What’s the deal with the 3-D Alien? Post production 3-D sucks.
I saw this, expecting something close to P K Dick’s vision in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I was vastly disappointed. While Blade Runner has some nice parts, on the whole it’s a ripoff and thinning of a better idea.
I’ll pass on a remake or sequel. Can’t they do something NEW?
this WAS a great movie...then came the dirctors cut...
I had not seen the movie in 30 years kind of forgot how it went...saw it again and could not figure out what the heck was going on...
it seems in the directors cut, they took out the Harrison Ford narration...making the movie for newcomers or those with CRS like me, unwatchable....
Is Obama going to play Roy Batty? Obama being a replicant would explain a lot of things.......

remakes, remakes, remakes.......
I think that was my favorite scene in that movie. I also like the explanation about loving all life in those final seconds.
Making a replica of a movie about replicas.
That’s so Hollywood!
Wow. My view is exactly the opposite. The theatrical cut is totally unwatchable because of the awful narration. The studio execs forced him to add the narration so people like you wouldn’t get all confused by the subtlety. Thankfully he eventually released the Director’s Cut.
“Made no sense; they had the technology to defy gravity but couldn’t get rid of the smoke. That scene never fails to jolt.”
I believe it was necessary to hide the mechanics.
When Hollywood actually had IDEAS for movies, not "let's do that one...again"
Usually they "look" better, but are acted worse, and received worse.
Plus a recycled tagline.
I marvel at the possibilities and admire all the more efforts of folks like DeMille way back when, The Ten Commandments parting the Red SEa scenes, no computer generated special effects back then, but then the original TRon was pretty good ;-)
.. Hollywood, screw this up? It has happened before. ;-) nothing like the classic uncut
beautiful line.. very poetic. I”m going to use that.
