Bladerunner (1997)

Re: Bladerunner

At first blush, I found the Sam Spade narration incongruous with the rest of the movie. The sterile melancholy of the story and the excellent Vangelis soundtrack just didn't seem to fit with the When the dame walked into my office, I knew I was lookin' at trouble. Trouble in a pair of size seven pumps and a five-hundred-dollar coat voiceover. Subsequent viewings have only reinforced that opinion.

edit: She had the kind of lips that would tell exactly the kind of lies you wanted to hear.

Re: Bladerunner

i second paige's statement. I saw the movie three times, i still have some weird thoughts about it all, but i thinks that's the meaning of the movie

I liked the DC lots more than the TE, but then again the TE was pretty awesome. It certainly rocked my world in the 80s. But still, I'm TOTALLY jazed about the Final Cut of Blade Runner coming out! I can't wait.

Re: Blade Runner

Yeah, but what people, apart from diehard fans (and people whose days somehow count more than 24 hours), regularly check those sub-forums?

I think that is a problem with the Chronic: The subdivision. Lots of interesting stuff gets hidden in small subforums. Especially places like Young Adult - if you're not already interested in the stuff, you won't go there (that's the only explanation I can find for having so few Pullman and Watership Down discussions.

Re: Blade Runner

I got Bladerunner for Xmas,albeit the director's cut,which I've not seen. I'm surprised there's been no sequels based of Jeter's books
