    I want to believe.

  3. Same
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

  4. I'm leery, but optomistic. I just hope Harrison Ford brings the same sort of general malaise and indifference again.

  5. I finally watched Blade Runner Final Cut last night in anticipation of this, since I'm tagging along with someone to see it tonight. I'm not sure why I never got around to watching this movie before.
    I enjoyed it a lot, considering I didn't give it my full attention while I was doing other things. It really nails atmosphere and it's the kind of movie that gives you a glimpse into this world that feels fleshed out, but doesn't try to tell you all about it. That fantasy world really captures the imagination. The atmosphere also does a great job setting the mood for the existential crises the characters go through. Rutger Hauer is the best part.
    I want to watch the theatrical cut, because I can't imagine how anyone saw this and thought "you know what this is missing, a narrator to completely take you out of these moments."

    The trailer for 2045 captures none of what stood out to me as special from the original, so I hope I'm not too disappointed. This plot to uncover conspiracy seems so impersonal. The cast looks good, though.
    Why are you reading this? go to your general settings and uncheck the Show Signatures box already!

  6. All the YTers are raving about this. I am waiting for the backlash.

    The back story behind the narrator is that the studio thought the average moviegoer wouldn't "get it" without it. Hence the Final/Directors cuts which was more what Scott wanted to actually be released.

  8. Blade Runner 2049

    Hey, so, this movie hit the Fury Road level. It’s paced like the first, so if you couldn’t watch that slow stuff you won’t be able to watch this. It was gorgeous and I think did some good with quietly asking some questions about the human experience and the waifu romance worked so much better than the forced romance from the first.
    I also really enjoyed all of the actors’ performances. Sylvia Hoeks isn’t Rutger Hauer, but she was pretty charming in her own robotic way.

  9. It did a lot of things really well. It is definitely one of the best 80s nostalgia revivals, and it didn't feel like an unnecessary retread. But it did leave a lot of dangling plot threads and questions, and not in the provocatively ambiguous way. I really would have liked to have some of the holes in K's backstory explained better. He's thrust into the middle of this story but it's never totally explained why or how he got there. The way replicants seem to be re-imagined as wholly organic also seems to undermine the notion that they're a form of AI.

    I'd give it a solid B+. Not quite Fury Road level.
