wrong thread.
proves how stupid blade runner is.

what

 

[P.]

I'm interested in why you consider Blade Runner stupid. Please explain.

dumb dull movie without a single thing not boring/overwhelmingly stupidly depicted in them, like star wars or avengers. i don't visit dumb dull movies threads and don't think about them, but when they suddenly appear in threads i visit, i remember about them again.

I see. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I would recommend you watch the final cut again. I will say you are in the minority with that opinion, especially around these parts.

I've only seen two cuts of Blade Runner, the theatrical and the 'directors' cut which seemed to me shorter than the theatrical and really only had the unicorn in it as the new scene I can recall. is there some uber ridley scott approved super directors cut that exists? i do have the blu ray which has both cuts I mentioned, and a few deleted scenes but they're not overly produced nor are they reintegrated to the movie. IIRC when the directors cut was announced wasn't it supposed to be like over 3hrs long?

Ok cool, thanks. I missed that bit of info. Glad they decided to use the flesh tones.

I think I'm the only person who prefers the painted skin tone to the flesh tone plastic. Looks more detailed to me.

wrong thread.

The conversation in the this thread since yesterday, was in reference to Randy@NECA "huge announcement ", and everyone posting their opinion, and/or preference for item('s) being disclosed.
If you would note my post from 2hrs 38 min earlier, I doubted that the announcement would have anything to do with Aliens('s). You edited my second post, where I deliberately/specifically redacted 99.99% of @NECA's announcement, since it had no relevance to Neca-Alien-Movie-Franchise-Figures , and simply posted main title of announcement as well as "Well no aliens stuff but A "Neca Scale " Harrison would be good for customizers".

WRONG Thread.... NOT

I don't think Blade Runner is a very good movie either. Never understood it's appeal beyond the visuals and atmosphere of the city. There's a reason critics and movie goers panned it as it bombed back in 1982, it was awful. It's saving grace, the thing people really love are the visuals and special effects. It had a great atmosphere.

2049 will surpass the original in the script department I'm sure. It'll have a superior story. Denis Villeneuve is a better filmmaker than Ridley Scott.

You don't see appeal in self-aware AI and its implications, or Sci-Fi in general?

Yeah, they were morons, weren't the Thing and The Shinning also originally panned?

Terminator bettah. Robocop bettah.

The Shining was mixed.

Yeah, the Thing was panned. There are exceptions. The Thing > Blade Runner

 

[GasparZizou]

Terminator bettah. Robocop bettah.

Terminator? Yeah I can agree.

Robocop?

The Thing > Blade Runner

Well, I'm soft towards the thing because it's the closest thing to a decent Lovecraft movie, but outside of that...

 

[Johnny Utah]

No way am I going to get involved arguing the merits of The Thing vs Blade Runner.

Both are masterpieces in my opinion.

Robocop?

Perhaps you're not the fellow Kinoisseur I thought you were . . .


I'll admit, as far as characters go I like Batty and Sebastian with his toys. Barry's monologue is thought provoking enough. But other than that, eh. I think the whole thing is overrated. I don't need to see Deckard slowly eat Lo Mein for what feels like and hour and I don't care whether he's a repli**** or not.

Proactive MacReady > cardboard Deckard


Search your feelings you know it be true.

Nope.

 

[GasparZizou]

Perhaps you're not the fellow Kinoisseur I thought you were . . .

Me? You said Robocop > BR I can understand Terminator for its far reaching sci-fi implications and themes.

I like Robocop but it really is just a very good Comic Book movie, as well as the Thing is a very good horror movie that retreaded Alien, surely you can see BR has more merits in many areas compared to both of those.

Of course it's overrated, what isn't nowadays?

You don't like slow comfy movies?

*ahem*

The following information is taken from the 1982 BR Press kit:

REPLICANT -- A genetically engineered creature composed entirely of organic substance.

 

[GasparZizou]

Still AI.

 

[K1LLJOY]

What I've learned from the movie threads is that every movie you love is terrible!

Terminator 1 and 2
Robocop
Die Hard
Mad Max Road Warrior and Fury Road
Blade Runner
The Thing
The Shining
Batman both Burton and Nolan
Predator
Alien and Aliens
Jaws
Indiana Jones 1-3

What a ****fest according to the freaks.

 

[theuzi9mm]

perhaps there should be a poll about who likes or dislikes Blade Runner......

 

[Alice]

Yeah. And here's a novel idea. Put it in the Blade Runner thread. There's been more talk about Blade Runner in the Alien toys thread than in the Blade Runner toys thread.
