It's a shame she won't live, but then again, who does?

You want to get the Final Cut then 🙂 The Director's Cut wasn't even approved by the director!I've got the director's cut on dvd.....no bloody difference!
If you've got a few hours spare give it a go, It's a good film, that's all it is mind you, a film.
Visually stunning, there's the odd thing that gives away it's an 80's idea of the future, but you can ignore that.
It's Sci-Fi of course, but in a lot of ways it's not - it's reminds me of LA Confidential, it just so happens that some cars fly and some people are really robots, it's doesn't rely on it.

Well hurry up - according to the timeline of the film the Nexus Replicants were built last year and will be past their sell by date in 2019.
If you don't watch its soon it won't be sci-fi anymore - it'll be a documentary.
Er, the whole plot depends on it so it kind of does... Sci-Fi can be contemporary (Frankenstein) or set in the past; don't confuse bollocks like Star Wars as sci-fi just because it's got spaceships & lasers in it!it's doesn't rely on it.
If you've never seen Blade Runner, I recommend NOT starting with the Director's Cut. The original cinematic release with the voice-overs may have been hated by the Director but is at least possible to follow. I'd recommend the Director's Cut for a second viewing once you know what's going on. (The Director's Cut removed the voice-overs).
I've not seen the "Final Cut" though.
I've never seen the Star Wars prequels. Actually, I managed about 20 minutes of Phantom Menace.

Having to find a payphone being one of them iirc
Time to die...
A few hours have been set aside tonight.
This thread is not going as planned, ton has the right idea (flounces off muttering to himself).
I am outraged that you haven't seen it and it also reminds me of the outrage when a friend who is apparently a film fanatic, also hadn't seen it so I have just reminded him of that
Edlong +1
IMO the original cut with the voice over is the best, the later versions lose the ambiguity............
One of my favourite films.
You Nexus 6 I designed your eyes
If only you could see what I have seen through your eyes

It was the realisation that sims would have to be given a finite lifespan that convinced me we are almost certainly sims.
I'd never seen the Rocky Horror Show film until I got back from Transylvania this Summer...

enjoyed giggling to myself today, listening to the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack on my headphones. Robin Williams at his funniest.
But I've never seen the film.
The Final Cut is the only version where RS had complete creative control. It's the one to watch if you want to see it as intended.
Visually stunning, there's the odd thing that gives away it's an 80's idea of the future, but you can ignore that.
that's the best* thing!
I love it when that happens - then it becomes not just a vision of the future but also a document of the past.
*ish
I've read the book or what i believe the film is loosely based on. Interested to see it. Suitable beer and snacks have been acquired.
I've read the Dick novel (no smirking at the back), it's quite unlike the film but that is to the credit of Ridley Scott's beautifully realised imagined world. The film itself is wonderful, from Vangelis to the Hamlet-esque soliloquy from Roy Batty near the end. Just ignore the silliness about enhancing a photograph on a wall and it's nearly perfect.
The correct viewing order is Original (with the voiceover) and Final Cut.

I wouldn't bother, you've experienced all the good bits.
I have watched Blade Runner (at least twice) but it clearly didn't have any effect on me as I have entirely no recollection of the storyline whatsoever.
To me it was nothing *BUT* [i]some cars fly[/i]
I have not seen it ,dont know what its about .
Saw it at the iMax earlier this year. First time watching it in yonks. Still bloody good.

Still don't get what all that stuff was at the end about fish - sea breams glittering in the dark? eh?
I've never :
Ate at a Burger King/Macdonalds/KFC etc.... not really a surprise as i've been veggie since 17.
I have watched Bladerunner though
I have never seen the film "Frozen", though I constantly find myself singing "Let it Go" to myself at the top of my voice.
I've seen Bladerunner.
I haven't seen any of the "Alien/Aliens/Ressurection" films though.
I've not seen Blade Runner. Or any Star Wars. Or any Aliens/Predator. Or any Lord of the Rings/Hobbit. Or any Indiana Jones. Or had a KFC (and I'm definitely not veggie).
As a work colleague asked me today "what the hell do you do?!", I feel he raised a good point. 😕
I have seen Frozen though.

Burn the witch!

Sorry CFH, the Melania Trump one is better.
For the film nerds, the opening scenes of flaring towers and skyscrapers are supposedly based on the view of Billingham's ICI chemical works when Scott was commuting by bus between his home in Stockton and Hartlepool art college.
ooooh,Billingham's ICI chemical works
, or that Riddles was from StocktonI was not aware of that
I used to love the sight of Wilton on a crispy winter night. Best viewed from Seal Sands way, I think
sniff - sod the sea bream, I've [s]seen[/s] [s]done[/s] imagined doing things on that beach you people wouldn't believe (or at least I didn't when I was 16)
Now I heard that the inspiration was the Llandarcy refinery which RS would pass on his way to a house he owned down Solva way.

No, it isn't. In fact, it was pretty much ignored for years, it's only over time that it's developed such a strong following, which had nothing to do with film critics. Who know nothing anyway.
The book which most closely resembles RS's vision for Bladerunner is William Gibson's Neuromancer, which was published two years after the film came out. I'm not certain if there was a direct influence, Gibson writes so slowly that it could well be the two were running in parallel, just a coincidence, something in the water, as it were, that there are similarities in the cities in the film, and Gibson's descriptions of BAMA, the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis.
He's given up writing such speculative fiction now, he can't keep ahead of how real technology is actually moving.
I've never :Ate at a Burger King/Macdonalds/KFC etc.... not really a surprise as i've been veggie since 17.
Ditto.
Well, I've eaten the fries, but never a burger.
It was the dystopian joy that it Port Talbot steel works. Neath Port Talbot is not called District 13 for nothing.
