Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[mousepod]

Count me as a Bladerunner fan, too. Having said that, I equally hate the tacked-on ending of the original theatrical version and the lack of voiceover in the "director's cut". I still have my old Criterion laserdisc, so I watch it until the doors close (if you know the movie, you'll know what I mean) and then stop the movie.

Another problem is that the current DVD release is one of the first big-studio DVDs ever release, and it hasn't been remastered since.

GC, you say you like the source material. Have you been into Dick for a long time?

I believe Blade Runner was the first DVD we ever bought! (First CD was Phillip Glass' The Photographer).

I'm a BR fan as well. I, too, miss the voice-over in the directors cut. Unofrtunantely, it is starting to look a bit dated to me where, when I first saw it, it was a marvel. It truely is one of the great films of my early adult years.

Good Lord, that was sooooo mojo worthy. Hysterical stuff. I'm still laughing.

The answer is: All my life.


Euro ~ To me, boring is boring. I can put a film into context with when it was released.

I loved the film noir aspect of the film. But I thought the narration made it even more boring. Mr. Monotone Ford isn't the most interesting person to listen to. Now to look at? That's a different story.

It is also interesting to note that it seems that many filmmakers including Spielberg and prequel Lucas got inspiration from Scott's vision.

"I don't know why he saved my life"

There are some lines that have permanently entered into my vernacular and this is one of them.
