Well, the original BR did lack balls.

I need to rewatch to assess whether it's great or not but I agree that it's spoiler-proof. It's pure ~viiibe, man~

BR and I are fundamentally are at odds because I can't chill with a movie like I can with friends.

it's pretty, soundtrack is surprisingly great, but wow the plot's a mess and damn, the writer seriously hates women.

This got another Bradshaw 5 star review. How the fuck does he keep his job?

Silly question really. But he is such a predictable easy-shill, that I hate myself for ever taking his opinions seriously back in the day.

the movie seriously rips off Cherry 2000 and tries to sell it as pathos equal to the original

National Post in Canada also gave it 5 stars and called it "perfect". I guess 5-star reviews must get more clicks.

It was boring and turgid but the music and the look of the film were amazing. A lot of cool ideas that went nowhere in the end and yes I know it was a sci-fi movie but jaysus it was daft. Lacking any too intensity tbh. I've yet to see a Denis Villeneuve film that hasn't bored me yet.

I thought Vangelis was doing the whole soundtrack again? Was it scrapped or was that never the plan?

They should make a Blade Runner movie that totally drops any pretense of plot and is just a sci-fi city symphony focused on sound and visuals.

I don't think there was ever a plan for Vangelis to do the soundtrack. Jóhann Jóhannsson was the one originally hired.

yeah, i was gonna say, the rachel/deckard sex scene in the original is uh problematic

yes, the original was bad in this respect, but no, I didn't think in 2017 the director would say "you know what, we need to double down on that shit"

fwiw it def is a weird and problematic scene but it does make some narrative sense

I think that's more easily explained by "it's a noir, and the main characters in those movies always push women around, to the woman's eventual delight"

this line from the wikipedia plot summary of Cherry 2000 should entice those of you who have been putting off viewing that movie (which is set in the dystopian future of... 2017!):
As they enter Zone 7, they encounter Lester, a wasteland overlord with deranged subordinates.

Cherry 2000 has a fucking awesome score by poledouris in which he said he was trying to blend 'Mozart morricone and moroder'
― harbinger of failure (Jon not Jon), Friday, 6 October 2017 20:36 (six years ago) link
is that why the trailer on youtube uses the score from Taxi Driver?

right, this just seemed like a really weird choice to re-use a very famous score. don't get me wrong I will def hunt down a copy of this, looks v entertaining.
