xp first q was (clumsily) checking with your three pillar questions to see if that element was taken into account
Ah, I see. Then yes, at least to my mind.

xp its not speculative in the movie, is it
the speculation is in whether that's how things should be or will be.
― The Pingularity (ledge), Thursday, 15 August 2019 10:56 (four years ago) link
you may argue that the answer to those questions is clearly a) definitely not and b) most likely.

Sounds like there's a bit of substance there after all.

in the original, yep :)

I would watch 2049 again, I only really appreciated the original the second or third time around.

It’s not like those questions didn’t carry over into 2049.

ledge, if you rewatch id be interested to see what elements you think it falls down on (ito whats not yknow finn-critique "imo they shouldve done this but where you think whats there botches or is lacking)

I do remember the obviously sexist elements (low maintenance pleasure gal, giant blue tits) being pretty offputting.

It’s a dystopia iirc.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 15 August 2019 11:19 (four years ago) link
i’d be with you there if the ‘low maintenance pleasure gal’ didn’t represent one of the most interesting existential questions in a movie which is filled with them

i remember, just last night, thinking about how ilx would engage with depiction of things they did not themselves agree with in this movie, a work of fiction showing bad things that clearly invites us to think about these bad things as bad things

― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Thursday, 15 August 2019 11:23 (four years ago) link
a work of fiction
c'mon
showing bad things that clearly invites us to think about these bad things as bad things
in a medium and genre where same bad things are frequently presented as good things.

I should watch this again, I'm just worried that I won't like it as much as the first time. Seeing this on a really good IMAX screen is one of the best movie going experiences I've had.

So I watched this again, I liked it better than the first time, I had a bit more sympathy for K, but still found it hard to really care. That piece above says "No one shines like Rutger Hauer’s magnetic Roy Batty", and it suffers for it. Joshi and Wallace are horrible characters - I don't mean just evil, or unconvincing, but unpleasant to be around, speaking in crappy portentous prose-poetry. The CGI is effortlessly impressive, not as thrilling as Trumbull's model work, and it feels strangely empty - I think there's like one crowd scene? In short, technically impressive, hard to love.
Also given that K can be so easily tracked it seems a bit of a doofus move for him to take Deckard straight to his daughter.

One thing I liked about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that wouldn't have really worked in a movie I think, is that Pris and Rachel were the same model android, so they actually looked identical
Also the whole bit with the fake police station is so good

Had no idea about the origin of the original director's cut in the 90s (thread):
Director’s cut of Blade Runner accidentally shown instead of the theatrical cut. I then mounted a campaign to get it released. And succeeded. https://t.co/lTShwIgVVQ— Bruce Wright (@heybrucewright) February 4, 2021
