The long overdue _Blade Runner_ thread

just stick "Yakety Sax" over the fucker, it couldn't be any worse

really should have been wall-to-wall thirty seconds to mars imo

xpost I'd watch that!

xp are you sure that's his work? trailers don't even necessarily use music from the actual film

remember the early 00s period where half a dozen movies (including one of the Lord of the Rings ones) used a riff on the score from Requiem for a Dream

I mean, it could be Johannsson but I figured it was whoever cut the trailers having someone in-house doing a riff on the original's music

It sounds like Johansson to me!

wait, has no one yet mentioned the "prequel" to this new film we're getting?

Blade Runner Black Out 2022
Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe
Music by Flying Lotus

and I hadn't seen this bit, but lol at my comment upthread now
The forthcoming short also features music by Miguel Atwood Ferguson and Kuedo.

I'm kind of hoping Jóhannsson releases a Definitely Not Music From Motion Pictures album with work that didn't show up in the film

or even better, works with several others and creates an imaginary soundtrack for it like Barrow/Salisbury did with their Dredd-inspired one

that'd be awesome, that dredd album rules

I have some serious misgivings about the 90s film but, barring that, I am pretty good saying all Dredd-related things are pretty good

the soundtrack to the Karl Urban Dredd flick is really, really outstanding. everything about that film is better than it needed to be.

I have refrained from watching any trailers, and y'all are making me sad.

xp they won't make another dredd film with that group because we're not allowed to have good things

Early reviewers (whoever these people are) seem pretty pleased with it.

Did you guys know this bullshit is 3 hours long

lol at them including Jesse Hawken's Seagal joke

anyway, *never* trust the early reaction roundups

I'm waiting for Armond.

100% guarantee that his "better than" list will include

Valerian > Blade Runner 2049

which might actually be correct, i still haven't seen Valerian

yeah I kinda wish I could find a roundup of early reactions to the Phantom Menace as a control

The first one I remember reading, from the day before the midnight opening, was a complete pan.

OTOH Roger Ebert and Peter Travers gave it 3.5 and 4 stars, respectively ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

http://www.starwars.com/news/critical-opinion-the-phantom-menace-original-reviews

this one is particularly hilarious

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/star-wars-episode-i--the-phantom-menace/review/

Yet The Phantom Menace is probably one of the most deliriously inventive films to have appeared in years: it displays all of George Lucas's uncommon magic, a wide-eyed genius for adventure narrative that is beyond any ordinary capacity for wonder, and in many respects the latest episode proves itself to be a more finished movie than any of the others. It is daring and beautiful, terrifying and pompous – and that's just the title sequence.

He’s right. It’s a great film.

It only gets better with age. It’s like a fine wine.

I mean, say want you want but Jub-Jub Briggs is the best comic creation of the past three hundred moon cycles

anyway I still refuse to believe this will be any good at all

I love Star Trek part one: The Phantom Pain

Did you guys know this bullshit is 3 hours long

jesus christ

I sincerely hope it’s good.

I hope it gets progressively worse, and whoever survives hour three gets their own replicant

there's an hour of Ford and Gosling travelling across the desert between LV and LA

Halfway through they stop and take some peyote, it’s pretty dope

that's when the secret Sean Young scene comes in

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/2017/09/27/blade-runner-2049-first-reactions-critics-call-film-sci-fi-masterpiece/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb

mostly the same article as above, but with more reviews and IDs on the reviewers (lots of newspaper critics)

long movies rule

just watched 2022, very watanabe

xps still no one trustworthy, and a peter bradshaw rave is as often a bad sign as a good one

I WANT TO BELIEVE

rly struggling tho

the trailers are very :| but my favorite critic proclaims it's better than the OG. my brain went offline

164 minutes

Good lord.

First reviews (Guardian, Variety) are full of praise.

full of something

sorry i don't know why i said that. i hope this movie is good.

Bradshaw also gave 5 stars to Dunkirk #never forget. But I've got to admit this sounds pretty good.

i’m listening to the new hannah peel record and it should be a soundtrack for a blade runner sequel

rip van wanko which critic was that
