That's another movie that snobby sci-fi buffs love to recommend that I don't think is worth spending 5 minutes watching. I also kind of can't stand Godard though.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I love French cinema of that period. Truffaut, Melville, Resnais and the rest. Just not Godard. He's bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about nostalgia. It's not my "go to" version version of Star Wars (that's Harmy's) but fun for a trip down memory lane. I have this grindhouse version on a USB stick essentially always plugged into my plasma TV all the time. In beautiful 1080p, with far more detail than I expected, now this is my go-to version.

A24 4,331 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Christopher Nolan on Blade Runner: "I've watched it over a 100 times." And he's talking about The Theatrical Cut, which he defines as the authoritative version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well I don't know about the Theatrical being the "authoritative" version, but I've never had a problem with it, and never quite understood the hate it gets. That's the version that ultimately made the film a classic. I don't see what the issue with it is (don't have a problem with The Final Cut either). And I frankly don't care that Scott and Harrison Ford were upset they had to do it. Seemed OK to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 319 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Theatrical and Final Cuts of the movie have plusses and minuses. The two issues with the Theatrical edition of the film I have are the ones the director has: 1. The Narration sometimes feels slightly forced, and sometimes interfere with the atmosphere created in the Director's Cut and the Final Cut. 2. The "happy ending" added at request of the studio, using outtakes of helicopter footage from The Shining, is out of place tonally with the rest of the movie. For me though, it's not hate in any way, but merely a preference for the director's original intention. Also, my understanding is that the version of the movie that really helped make it a cult classic was the 1992 Director's Cut on DVD and LaserDisc. The film's history is long and storied, so I might be drastically oversimplifying the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 EDIT Such visuals! Some shots being practically 3D. What stood out this time. Rutger as Roy Batty, how much he plays him like an agile, very intelligent, strong toddler. Turning the hunt for Deckard into a game of hide and seek, with riddles! Untill finally coming to age in spectacular fashion. Rutgers performance is iconic! If Deckard is a replicant, he's by far the most unlikable one. Shooting 2 women, both unarmed. And pretty much raping one. The question is if course, can they be considered violations at all. Something Blade Runner allows the audience to decide. Whether Deckard is human or a Replicant is actually not that relevant to the narrative, imo Stunning stunning looking movie!

However, during the '80s, you really had to be a maniac to pick up the Deck-is-a-rep innuendos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
