IMO the scene from the trading outpost in rogue one got the 'blade runner aesthetic in a 2017 movie' right

basic pleasure model, which used to be a sci-fi euphemism for sex robot but is now an anagram of gwyneth paltrow's instagram

mh and I agree, again
the storyline is pretty obvious from the trailer but as above, not why I watch movies starring this star, or directed by this director; if they do the respectful thing and give away the "twist" in the first act, I'll award some extra credit

I thought that's the premise, all blade runners are specialized replicants that kill other replicants
so gosling has gotta find ford because he is the blade runner who can ~teach you how to live~

this film will perhaps bookend sci-fi noir's transition from lustful to totally sexless, with the midpoint being the repulsive cave rave sex scene from the second Matrix movie

Has anyone noticed how underpopulated everything looks compared to the original? In the Dick book (heh) the Earth is underpopulated.
I wonder if there's been a huge die-off/mass exodus from Earth over 30 years.

Judy Blume's "Then Again, Who Does" is the funny, touching story of a boy with six, no, five problems. For fans of "Are You There, God of Biomechanics? It's Me, A Basic Pleasure Model".

from the Soldier wiki page:
Kurt Russell broke his ankle during the first week of shooting, so the entire production needed to be rescheduled. The filmmakers first shot scenes involving Russell lying down, followed by scenes of Russell sitting, Russell standing but not moving, and so on.

this looks fine, exciting even, but how can it possibly feel or look like the original? and if it can't, why even bother making it? either make a new movie or don't. the sequel/franchise/spinoff disease is horrendous in tv/movies right now. it's as ned said, the grain, the general feeling, but also just the inherent cynicism in a remake. and of course the soundtrack, which does sound fine, won't be as good as vangelis. how could it be? it was of a time, it was of the instruments of a time, it was eulogised for decades afterwards. it's all just chasing the dragon, and relying on our collective desire to do likewise.

Jared Leto isn't a total deal-breaker the way James Franco and Danny McBride being in the new Alien movie are, but this looks thoroughly unnecessary.

Sequels/franchises have been the dominant paradigm for what, 30 years now?
It's really Marvel that kickstarted the new phase.

RONG
Star Wars did this

Universal and WB are taking massive incomprehensible shits on the properties they own
Marvel is the studio that's not fucking it up
― your cognitive privilege (El Tomboto), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:18 (seven years ago) link
I only say that because the complaints about sequels and remakes have been going on for a long time. Makes me wonder if old people in the 50s were like "They're making Ben Hur AGAIN? Pfft."
Not that Lego Transformer Wars 3: Rise of the Silver Guardians -- Origins Pt 1 is a good thing, just saying this shit is cyclical.
― Fiddle Catstro (latebloomer), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:19 (seven years ago) link
Star Wars started it but Star Wars is also kind of an exception to a lot of things
― Fiddle Catstro (latebloomer), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:22 (seven years ago) link
It's Marvel that nailed the formula that everyone is desperately trying to copy
― Fiddle Catstro (latebloomer), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:23 (seven years ago) link
Star Wars is now copying the Marvel model, not the other way around.
Anyway, back to Blade Runner I guess

I wish they would have just cast Emily Blunt as the new Blade Runner and let Gosling be one of the (regular) replicants tbf - but this is Hollywood
― your cognitive privilege (El Tomboto), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:30 (seven years ago) link
and that would have been too obvious after Sicario, I guess
but hey maybe that's the REAL twist? oh shit I've just ruined the movie
― your cognitive privilege (El Tomboto), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 01:31 (seven years ago) link
They've greenlit an Edge of Tomorrow sequel with Blunt, so I don't need her in this. (EoT was so criminally slept-on; almost certainly because of that suck-ass title.)

New one looks like ass. Sorry. I've yet to be convinced by anything Villeneuve's directed.

We were promised offworld colonies by 2019.
Everything I liked about this, I liked in 1983 (or whenever I first saw the VHS).
I'd like to believe that the characters reprising Roy, Pris, Rachael et al in aren't so transparent. I'm trusting in you, Villeneuve.
Else, we're doomed to a rainy, replicant-ridden LA for the next installment in 2051.
