also, as some of you may know, the blown-dried hero up there is also "Brad" from Rocky Horror Picture Show

and thank god we're not talking about 1986, when we'd have to deal with this horror

Funny you should mention that... The "Megaforce" golden dune buggy has been parked in front of a Newport Beach surplus store on PCH. I used to drive past it every morning on my way to work. It's directly in the center of this Googlemap

If Kenan does it, you call him a douchebag, but if Seinfeld did it, it would be a "classic episode."

yeah cos this is the shit that matters, it's not about good films, it's about whether this or that director is or is not a 'hack'.

Haha, I heard Stanley Kubrick made his crew watch Eraserhead before they started filming The Shining. As far as I can tell this made no difference whatsoever to the finished film.
This does leads to a weird connection now I think of it, because all the helicopter shots in the "happy ending" version of BR were outtakes from...The Shining. Not to mention that Lloyd the Barman and Eldon Tyrell = THE SAME GUY.

The restored "Director's Cut" will debut on homevid in September, and remain on sale for four months only, after which time it will be placed on moratorium. "Blade Runner: Final Cut" will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th anniversary theatrical run, followed by a special edition DVD with the three previous versions offered as alternate viewing: Besides the original theatrical version and director's cut, the expanded international theatrical cut will be included. The set will also contain additional bonus materials."
Hmm, no Workprint?

I think that horror and sci-fi are (sometimes) so interconnected, the line gets blurry. I never really saw Alien as a Sci Fi movie. Sure it was set in the future, but that was (a little bit) apropos of nothing. It was about the horror. Just like The Thing.
I absolutely love Blade Runner. I think mostly because it can be enjoyed/analyzed on so many levels. Every time I watch it, I seem to gain something more from it. spoiler I strictly remember not realizing that he was a Replicant. Now it just seems to obvious as it ties in with the whole theme of the movie and how else could you explain the Unicorn and Origami scenes? It completely shakes up your whole experience of the film: you identify yourself with the character only to realize he's also a Replicant (non-human). It's from the opening shot that I am completely in awe of the film. The eye which reflects the city makes you aware you are watching. And the rest of the film is just so sublime. I think part of what makes it not seem outdated is also the random historical elements, references to for example Film Noir. There's very modern (at the time) elements but also old things. I also like the Woman aspect in the film (striptease, the snake, the gaze,..) I also like the Oedipal element in the film: the confrontation of Tyrell with his *son*.
I could go on and on about this film. I'm not a big fan of Sci-Fi on the whole - I mean, sure, I like Sci Fi but it'snot something I actively seek out. Blade Runner just is just *it*. I think what intensefied is when I went to Tokyo for the first time; it was just completely like a scene out of Blade Runner. My mom and I looked at eachother and said:"Blade Runner!"
