the original Predator movie is so manly the DVD case has 5 o'clock shadow and smells of cigars. Yeah, and just looking at the case increases your bench press by at least 40%, makes you an expert in small engine repair, and is known to cause accelerated facial and chest hair growth. The movie itself is likely the most macho thing you'll ever witness. If it were any more macho, it likely would not be able to be contained by any media format currently known to humanity.  |

Last night I watched the original Blade Runner for the first time. Wow this movie is just perfect in every conceivable way. They rarely make cinematic experiences like this anymore.
What's strange is that I saw the Dennis Villeneuve sequel first, and didn't really like it all that much. I might eventually go back and re-watch it with context in mind.

the directors cut of Blade Runner is fantastic. WAY better than the original theatrical cut.

There are actually 3 versions. Theatrical, Director's, and Final Cuts. Go with the Final Cut.

Ok then I certainly watched the DC because there wasn't any voiceover narration. The ended was abrupt, so I'm not sure if it qualified as a "happy ending" or not. Deckard finds an origami in the appartment and leaves with Rachel as the movie fades to black. It's funny because I prefered the theatrical cut of Ridley Scott's prior film (Legend) over the DC, because the theatrical cut left in the Tangerine Dream score lol |

yeah I meant to say Final Cut in my original post, not Director's cut. Final Cut is the one to see.

There are actually 7 different cuts of the film, but unless you're in the hardcore DADoES crowd, the only one you need is The Final Cut.

There's probably a fan cut out there I haven't seen yet, but when it comes to anything Blade Runner and Blade Runner related stuff, I likely own it.

Have you seen Dangerous Days? If so is it worth the running time? I'm thinking about giving it a shot because the Blade Runner universe fascinates me. |

Oh yes, I watch Dangerous Days a couple times a year. It's basically just a documentary from how Blade Runner went from the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep to becoming the film. Lots of great background info. Hampton Fancher who wrote the screenplay for Blade Runner even originally titled the movie Dangerous Days as the term Blade Runner was neither in the original book or script. There is also a debate among the cast and crew on whether or not Deckard is a Replicant. Ridley Scott maintains he is, but most everyone else including Harrison Ford maintains he isn't. Lots of info on the background world from the book and a nice section on futurist Syd Mead creating the aesthetic look of the world in insane detail and how the visuals of Blade Runner have become the archetype of what a cyberpunk world looks like. |
