    Probably not very sensible to run with blades, I think this film sets a bad example.

    Man in the sequel there are 2049 of them.

    In the original Bulgarian the title is ‘Sharp Investigator’, which makes more sense.

    I love Blade Runner! Apparently there’s a live action show being made, Blade Runner 2099.

    They’re making a prequel right now called Blade Runner 1999 and it’s about a guy who finds it hard to discern real people from the guy on the radio and large vehicles that say ‘stand well clear, vehicle reversing”.

    I was playing a DVD-based trivia game with a highschool buddy and his shitfaced mom. Category was movies. They put up a photo of a dagger and a photo of a man sprinting, said "Name the movie," answer was Blade Runner.

    Shitfaced mom was LIVID. "Blade Runner?! I thought it was Knife Guy!"

    Something about Blade Runner is visual Ambien to me, I watch it and I am gone. I've seen roughly the first twenty-five minutes 10-12 times, almost always on a couch during a completely-knock-you-out illness

    There are even fewer blades in the book, just electric sheep.

    That old Westwood PC game was the shit.

    Yeah that game was legit one of the best adventure games ever released. I still think about it from time to time. It's crazy to think how ahead of its time it was for narrative design elements and branching storylines. Absolutely cutting edge stuff that hasn't really been replicated (heh) in quite the same way ever since.

  • PoorochondriacPoorochondriac Ah, man Ah, jeezRegistered User regular
    It was so fuckin' brilliant that they randomized who the replicants were

  • PinfeldorfPinfeldorf Yeah ZestRegistered User regular
    Dang I've never heard of that game. What's it called? Is it on summer sale?

  • IronKnuckle's GhostIronKnuckle's Ghost This is also my fault Registered User regular
    I don't think there's a single story I like looking at more than Balde Runner. And I mean that literally, just looking at the sets, the costumes. Even the music and sound effects despite that not being a thing you look at.

    But like, as a movie? Not a good one! Plot barely exists, characters just sort of appear in a series of scenes. You occasionally get glimpses of interesting weird stuff and then it's gone and we're onto the next thing. And part of that is the fact that there are versions with narration and versions without. And honestly? The narration was bad. And cutting it out entirely also really hollows out the movie. Dunno if you really could have solved that challenge.

    I tried to watch Blade Runner the other day because I just read the book, but Amazon want me to pay for it, and I refuse to pay for shit on top of already paying a subscription. I guess the dystopian feel is appropriate though.

    You know what was a decent neo noir movie? Dark City. Watched it again about a year ago, still good. It’s not like, super compelling to watch, but there is just something so memorable about the style and the way they play around with idealist philosophy

    I like the idea of Blade Runner as in its design and art direction, but the actual movie is so goddamn boring.

    blade runner is my default “what’s your favorite movie” answer

    I think it’s really good

    Hauer's ending monologue was pretty great though and made even better by the fact he ad libbed it (the most famous line I mean, not all of it)

    But of the two Blades Runners, I much prefer 2049. One of my favourite films.

    2049 showed you that Dave Bautista can act

    Dark City is one of my favorite movies, it's a shame it came out when the Matrix did. their surface similarities led to the Matrix eating Dark City's lunch

    also a very good Kiefer Sutherland performance

    The first Blade Runner is absolutely a vibes movie, and it turns out I have a lot of patience for a boring movie when it has a great aesthetic and score, and especially if it's kinda chilly outside and I can also wrap myself up in a blanket and drink whiskey and stare at the rain with Harrison Ford. but it is pretty boring

    2049 is too long but otherwise I really think it's the superior film

  • RMS OceanicRMS Oceanic Registered User regular
    Yeah OG Blade Runner's chief contribution is atmosphere and it turns out I can pay it

    2049 is absolutely a movie I can only do in theaters because it's a little too brutally huge otherwise, but then that's most Villeneuve movies for me

    While Blade Runner 2049 might be the first time folks noticed his ability to play in a dramatic space, I'd argue the first Guardians of the Galaxy film is what showed people that he can act.

    He's pretty good in the GotG movies!!

    Absolutely true, I suppose it's more accurate to say he demonstrated an acting range in 2049

    My favorite story on that is Hauer being stoked with his ideas on Batty’s lines but when he ran it by Scott, dude just 100% did not gaf

    2049 had so many things that made me go "woah holy shit"

    It's a big incredible movie with tons of WHOOOOOOMPs and I'm a sucker for big bassy WHOOOOMPs

    In high school I made a comment to a friend about Weird Al Yankovic's take on Blade Runner while holding up the jewel case for Running With Scissors. That was maybe 23 years ago? I've been unable to think about Blade Runner without also thinking about Weird Al ever since. Just absolutely blursed myself as a teenager.

    Sometimes I am convinced Ridley Scott doesn't know why people like most of his movies

    Like the Deckard replicant idea is something he started talking about halfway through shooting the movie and Ford and the screenwriter hated it and pushed back immediately. I think it actively weakens the movie's actual commentary on what it means to be human and exist and form connections in the world, but Scott wouldn't shut the fuck up about it in the years since, forcing it to be kind of the main thing you have to at least nod towards any time you talk about Blade Runner, and it's never been an interesting question to me

    Kinda like how he decided Aliens was actually about the nature of divinity and the origins of humanity or some shit (I hated and barely remember Prometheus and never saw Covenant so I might not be on the most solid ground for this complaint) instead of what we actually know it's about, a space monster messily killing idiots

  • RMS OceanicRMS Oceanic Registered User regular
    Point of order, Alien is also about distant corporate masters treating their employees like chattel in pursuit of their goals.
