    I never cared to go downtown and join the crowds for new years parties, bleh. But also couldn't care less about all the shows they had on TV. Woo someone's playing crappy music in new york.

    New years was usually a time of sipping some fine champaign, and being either online, or (presently) with my wife. Possibly with a top hat and monocle.

    That said, RIP Dick Clark, you were a well known liked dude.

    how can one bemoan "doing anything" to Blade Runner when the original Blade Runner theatrical release is widely regarded as inferior to the re-cuts?

    This is pretty much my feelings on remakes

    That said, there have been a few movies where the remake has actually been better than the original (John Carpenter's "The Thing", Brian De Palma's "Scarface") that have proven the whole "all remakes suck and are inferior" mentality very wrong, as those are still two of my favorite films

    The Thing was a remake where I took the aforementioned advice and ignored its existence.

    Was it actually good?

    Personally, I have no interest in having to ever hold a conversation with someone who has watched a Blade Runner remake buuuuuuuut nobody posted anything close to this.

    the new one or the 80s one

    the new one is more prequel than remake i guess

    the 80s one is utterly fantastic

    The Carpenter version is pretty much the go-to version.

    It depends

    There was the original (The Thing From Another World), which was good

    The remake (John Carpenter's The Thing), which was fantastic, and remains one of my favorite films

    And the remake/prequel of the remake (the Thing [2011]), which was a mess with a few redeeming qualities, but not enough to justify $20 spent on a movie ticket or DVD

    The 80s one is absolutely amazing. It's just that not many people know it's a remake of an even older film.

    Yeah, I always forget that Carpenter's was actually a remake.

    Sounds like I should at least see the 2011 version once, though.

    If you're going to, either get on Comcast on Demand or rent it

    It is not worth $20

    It's seriously a mess, they thought they could do as good as Carpenter's version by filling it up with CGI, and it just wound up being silly

    It has a few good scenes though, and the actors tried the hardest with what they had, which I admired

    There was a movie with the same title based on the same book in 1931 I believe.

    Yeah

    It's based off the 1930 book and a remake of the 1931 film based off the book

    It is exactly what it should be given who directed it and who starred in it.
