The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

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

and then they get some ice cream and go to a park together and bro-down into the sunset

xp

case rested

the love shack is a little old place where
it's too bad she won't live but then again who does

Hope I live to 2049 so I can see Part III where Gosling goes "I used to be a cop..."

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.

please tell me Soldier is in canon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldier_(1998_American_film)

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".

lol

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.

f hazel killing it today

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.

the sequel/franchise/spinoff disease is horrendous in tv/movies right now

QFT

even infecting theatre - like it's not enough to have harry potter stamping on cinema forever - gotta have a six-part play as well.

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

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.

Star Wars started it but Star Wars is also kind of an exception to a lot of things

It's Marvel that nailed the formula that everyone is desperately trying to copy

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

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

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.)

this looks really fucking bad tbh

So this was kind of fun

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.

looks cool but mostly makes me want to rewatch the first one and call it a day

time to die

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe . . . Lego Transformer Wars 3: Rise of the Silver Guardians -- Origins Pt 1 . . .

(Adam OTM)

I'd go see Lego Blade Runner

BLEGO Runner, actually

No thread for BR2049?

So per the headline

http://ew.com/movies/2017/07/13/blade-runner-2049-ryan-gosling-harrison-ford-photos/

Ryan Gosling still wonders if Blade Runner 2049 might just be an elaborate episode of Punk’d

Based on some of the photos later in the feature, *I'm* wondering that.

i like the one where ryan and harrison are running away from an elaborate pile of dangerous mousetraps

“The yellow is something I can’t talk about, but…it’s a very important color.”

🤔

I will eat kale if this turns out to be a good film.

Everything — the sets, the lights, the props, the vehicles — they are all saying something about our future

Which is why they decided at least one speaking part had to be played by somebody cosplaying as Abby from NCIS.

“The yellow is something I can’t talk about, but…it’s a very important color.”

replicant urination confirmed

I'm looking at these pictures and thinking "Ryan Gosling: Man of Many One Faces"

can't replicate his face into a heart
