blade runner is perfect. i'm banning you. where the hell is that button...

yeah man absolutely!

blade runner OST is probly the best vangelis album of all time!

Yeah that is fucking insane.

I dunno kinda reminds me of

http://www.hulu.com/watch/124875/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-the-curse

vangelis saxophone is like the best thing ever

yeah i dont know what to tell you, i like careless whisper and baker street too

I can't even fathom how a person could not enjoy the Blade Runner soundtrack

and what's up with deckard forcing himself on rachel? no means no man!

this is my fave track from the album

ok edward 3, you're in the desert, you see a tortoise on its back...

let me tell you about my mother

also never noticed how terrible the music in blade runner is

This is why I have somewhere around four or five fan-made Blade Runner music compilations that try to grab all the music bits that weren't released on a soundtrack

Wait no, the opposite of terrible

btw blade runner end credits theme is the best thing of all time

yeah blade runner OST is terrible, like 100% awful, in a world where awful is great and die hard isn't all that~

and what's up with deckard forcing himself on rachel? no means no man!

Is this a joke? Cause I still don't get that part. I'm sure this means I've missed the point of the movie somehow.

I'm not joking! that scene is kind of troubling. "seduction" scenes where guys push women around always creep me out.

maybe it's just supposed to prove that robots are better than ppl, roy and pris seem to have a pretty healthy relationship

dude I have bad news about that "robots are better than people" assumption with those two pairings

WAS GON SAY

there is a law on ILX that all film discussions sooner or later center on blade runner

*recoiling in horror* Edward III I renounce all knowledge of you...

o cool let's debate whether deckard's a replicant

did anyone hear that? sounded like the ghostly voice of someone who was always wrong about Blade Runner. Huh, must have been the wind.

we already referred to the final cut as the definitive edition upthread, it has the text that flashes "DECKARD IS A REPLICANT" at the end

in the novel Dick flags him as probably a replicant about 50 pages in, it's not even a big SURPRISE or anything

in the novel he ends up not being a replicant though, he just thinks he might be for a while

iirc the point is far from clear?

maybe, it's been at least 10 years since I last read it. I vaguely remember him passing some kind of test proving he's human.

i wanna read it again now. anyway i definitely remember the ambiguity being a minor thread rather than a big central theme

blade runner OST is probly the best vangelis album of all time!

^^^

There's a alternate BR soundtrack album called Los Angeles - November 2019 which is just Vangelis' ambient soundscapes mixed in with background sound from the film. Well worth tracking down...

tbf that's kind of the ambiguity introduced in the movie. I didn't necessarily mean that Deckard is a replicant so the comparison is robot-robot versus robot-robot, I meant that the ambiguity exists so the question posed by the movie is whether humans would act any differently, really.

maybe it's just supposed to prove that robots are better than ppl, roy and pris seem to have a pretty healthy relationship

it's Deckard demonstrating that he has no empathy - esp for another robot

Like to my mind, Roy Batty isn't a violent, alpha male because he's programmed to be a soldier. He's violent and confrontational because he is scared of death and wants answers!

tbf, Shakey, it was showing that Deckard lacked empathy for someone he knew to be a replicant and he was manipulative. By the end, it doesn't really matter what he is because he's acknowledged that.. oh hell I could write an entire essay

love this film

blade runner is great, why, because bowl of noodles

yeah I can agree with that mh, the "another" in my post is probably unnecessary

brb getting a blade runner-themed tattoo to solidify my commitment

Is it "DECKARD IS A REPLICANT"?

http://www.liveforfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/blade-runner-tattoo.jpg

ridley scott left out the parts of the book flagging deckard as a replicant ie failing the test

however that flashing text at the end of the final cut does help to clear things up

Okay, after watching and loving Die Hard the other day, today I watched Die Harder get pretty much everything I loved about Die Hard wrong. It felt very Ghostbusters 2-y, i.e. perfunctory and rote.

"Hey, remember when McClane said 'Yippee ki yay, motherfucker'? We should make him do that again, except without any context. And he should totally dodge a million bullets and beat up multiple special forces guys. Ooooh, and that guy that his wife hates? Let's put them at each other's throats! Oh, and uhhhhh...it's Christmas again. Why not?"

Die Hard was super economical. Die Harder was a sloppy, shitty mess without even that many fun or exciting action scenes. I'm glad it didn't make the top 75, but I'm baffled as to how it fell just outside of it. Still looking forward to the next one, though, given the fandom here.
