Lurker 5 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Blade Runner. Not a bad film the biggest problem is that it's really weird. I saw th director's cut the ending was kind of neat I thought although I'm still not sure what it was about. Did the end suggest that Deckard was a replicant or that the girl was a replicant? A well made film. Not something that I would call overly enjoyable, though.Rachel was a replicant. We find that out about 20 minutes in. "She's a replicant" "I'm impressed".Is Deckard a replicant? Probably. How else would Gaff know of his unicorn dream? And you can see Deckard's eyes glow in the film, just like a replicants.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orson 1 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Awesome 1978 Jerry Goldsmith score on that one. Did you notice beyond the opening titles, that no music is heard during the first hour?NeilI did notice this as well. I wouldn't have thought too much about it, but the lack of opening titles was very strange. Classical music was played twice before Jerry entered.. in the apartment Douglas put some music on and the Dr that did the original surgery also had some playing in OR 8. The only thing I can think of is perhaps they wanted to create a sort of serene atmosphere where everything was perfect and thought no score would convey that until things began to get messy. Particularly since most of the sequences were in the hospital before the music kicks in. Steef, you are correct that the score started when the hired hit man was shown at her car. I went out to my mailbox and opened the Netflix envelope back up to get the exact time. It was right at 49 minutes into the movie. There is almost exactly one hour left after that, so my guess would be the cd is not complete. I tried to get a track and time listing off of Amazon but there was none. I did notice on the Logan's Run/Coma soundtrack there is a disco version of the love theme. LOLI had to laugh when I sawTom Selleck appear. Anyone notice the interesting connection that the hit man played Colonel Buck in Magnum PI? One of if not my favorite 80's tv shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Stealth. A decent action film. Much of the story seemed very far fetched, but it had some snazzy visuals and Jessica Biel crawling through a puddle in tight fitting trousers. I also noticed several homages to 2001 in terms of how the AI aboard the ship goes haywire. Rob Cohen? Decent? These words go together? Morlock- who conciders Cohen to be on a short list of the worst directors of old time, and without the rare flukes of Joel Shitmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 True, Dragonheart is a fun movie. It has Pete Postlethwaite and David Thewlis having a great deal of fun, how bad can it possibly be? Postlethwaite having fun is one of the few watchable things about The Lost World. And I personaly love that score. But nothing I've seen of Cohen's since has been good.

Marian Schedenig 8,278 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 How could I've forgotten Postlethwaite? Probably because he isn't doing enough movies.Marian - who also likes the score and hasn't seen any of Cohen's other films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wanted to see the damn baby, it's better Polanski didn't show anything.A side bonus for me was to finally get a good look inside the Dakota building. This is the first film I can recall that shows it to that degree. I always stop there everytime I visit New York but never get to see beyond the main entrance.
