The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

so was johnny mnemonic

You guys have weird definitions of "amazing"

board description

amazing shouldn't necessarily imply an endorsement - like, 9/11 was amazing imo

but i don't think it was entirely good

I think Villeneuve can be contrasted/compared to Nolan and comes out better but suffering from similar difficulties in translating jawdropping technical skill into satisfying movies.

Key difference is he's getting better and Nolan is in a spiral

Will catch this but already wish it hadn't been attempted and Scott had died with a "don't fuck with my properties" clause in.....idk, 1983? (Though I would miss that wine movie with Russell crowe- anyone could've directed the Martian imo)

speed racer is legit the best thing the wachowskis have ever done, come on

Leto appears to be channeling Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith voice, so it's all a rich tapestry.

Best work by overrated hacks is still not at actual "good" level

publishing Shaolin Cowboy is legit the best thing the Wachowskis have ever done

those eyes sfx on leto are so bad

I didn't know about Shaolin Cowboy and now I must have it and the trade paperback collection is OOP and $500

Third series (on Dark Horse) just finished this month. Maybe the best thing Darrow has ever done, but good god I miss the repro quality of the Burlyman issues

...hardback is US$18 on Book Depository so maybe get that instead of paperback? There's probably looooads of gutter loss on the spreads though

that looks like it's the DH newer series, afaict the original series hasn't been collected again

we've finally reached peak orange and teal

knowing Villeneuve's work, i doubt the finished product is as much of a chase + explosions deal as the trailers make it appear. if the action scenes are in line w/what he did in Sicario, he would be the correct choice. anyway this movie certainly *looks* incredible. the story, we'll see. Jared Leto can either be great or obnoxious, we'll see on that too.

I hope he leans on what works well and just recreates the night vision in a tunnel scene from Sicario

(mh/tombot- whoops yeah, I searched shaolin cowboy burlyman but didn't click through and read descriptions 🤦🏼‍♀️)

this is very unlike you sic, but I know you will do better

Qui-Gon Jinn looks really pissed off on that poster

That is really bad teal and orange. They just put two monochrome schemes next to each other.

like replicants... and humans

or are they really such distinct shades?

The two in front look like Hobbits.

keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool

this is everything that's shit about mainstream movies in 2017

sorry, just feeling grumpy this morning, as you were

Maybe this is satire?

Xpost lol

is it just me or did the new preview clip spoil a major plot thingy

new trailer for the 4K of the Final Cut is genius, if you flip the YouTube settings to 4K it's a gorgeous thing.

Good lord, those posters. John Alvin's shade curses them from the grave.

Only Blade Forgives

fixed the poster (sort of)

Those posters look like the floaties you put on a toddler's arms at the pool

Anyone know if they've announced when the soundtrack will be available?

That short film prequel thing they released is not promising. Leto talks. Portentously. With weird. Annoying. Gaps in his speech. To show how. Meaningful it all. Is.
Also his character hasn't changed haircuts in 15 years.

fun fact: this movie is 163 minutes long

fuuuuuuck

;_;

Definitely buying a ticket now

Perfect title

I'd like to know. And I'd really like to know how much Johannsen will remain in the movie/on the album and how much Hans Zimmer will have replaced it (was super excited to hear what the former would do for this movie as the Arrival score was just jaw-droppingly good to me)

Wait hold on, I either missed the Zimmer news or intentionally blotted it from my brain so I didn't have to think about it. (Which I suppose is very Blade Runnerish, so.)

Anyway

harrison ford sounds like a character out of a scandinavian cop show in that
