blade runner OST is probly the best vangelis album of all time!

max, Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:08 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah that is fucking insane.

polyphonic, Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago) link

vangelis saxophone is like the best thing ever

I can't even fathom how a person could not enjoy the Blade Runner soundtrack

I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:14 (twelve years ago) link

also never noticed how terrible the music in blade runner is

This is why I have somewhere around four or five fan-made Blade Runner music compilations that try to grab all the music bits that weren't released on a soundtrack

Wait no, the opposite of terrible

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

btw blade runner end credits theme is the best thing of all time

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago) link

yeah blade runner OST is terrible, like 100% awful, in a world where awful is great and die hard isn't all that~

omar little, Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link

and what's up with deckard forcing himself on rachel? no means no man!

Is this a joke? Cause I still don't get that part. I'm sure this means I've missed the point of the movie somehow.

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link

I'm not joking! that scene is kind of troubling. "seduction" scenes where guys push women around always creep me out.

I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

maybe it's just supposed to prove that robots are better than ppl, roy and pris seem to have a pretty healthy relationship

I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Thursday, 1 March 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link

dude I have bad news about that "robots are better than people" assumption with those two pairings

there is a law on ILX that all film discussions sooner or later center on blade runner

o cool let's debate whether deckard's a replicant

I GUESS THAT CINNABON GETTIN EATEN (Edward III), Thursday, 1 March 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link

did anyone hear that? sounded like the ghostly voice of someone who was always wrong about Blade Runner. Huh, must have been the wind.

scott seward, Thursday, 1 March 2012 19:53 (twelve years ago) link

we already referred to the final cut as the definitive edition upthread, it has the text that flashes "DECKARD IS A REPLICANT" at the end

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

in the novel Dick flags him as probably a replicant about 50 pages in, it's not even a big SURPRISE or anything

FPocalypto! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 March 2012 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

in the novel he ends up not being a replicant though, he just thinks he might be for a while

silverfish, Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:00 (twelve years ago) link

iirc the point is far from clear?

FPocalypto! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:00 (twelve years ago) link

maybe, it's been at least 10 years since I last read it. I vaguely remember him passing some kind of test proving he's human.

silverfish, Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link

i wanna read it again now. anyway i definitely remember the ambiguity being a minor thread rather than a big central theme

FPocalypto! (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:08 (twelve years ago) link

blade runner OST is probly the best vangelis album of all time!

There's a alternate BR soundtrack album called Los Angeles - November 2019 which is just Vangelis' ambient soundscapes mixed in with background sound from the film. Well worth tracking down...

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago) link

tbf that's kind of the ambiguity introduced in the movie. I didn't necessarily mean that Deckard is a replicant so the comparison is robot-robot versus robot-robot, I meant that the ambiguity exists so the question posed by the movie is whether humans would act any differently, really.

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link

maybe it's just supposed to prove that robots are better than ppl, roy and pris seem to have a pretty healthy relationship

it's Deckard demonstrating that he has no empathy - esp for another robot

be scientific, douchebag (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link

Like to my mind, Roy Batty isn't a violent, alpha male because he's programmed to be a soldier. He's violent and confrontational because he is scared of death and wants answers!

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link

tbf, Shakey, it was showing that Deckard lacked empathy for someone he knew to be a replicant and he was manipulative. By the end, it doesn't really matter what he is because he's acknowledged that.. oh hell I could write an entire essay

love this film

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link

yeah I can agree with that mh, the "another" in my post is probably unnecessary

brb getting a blade runner-themed tattoo to solidify my commitment

valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 1 March 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link

Is it "DECKARD IS A REPLICANT"?
