my only hot take for today is that BR2049 was way more sexist than mother!

Blade Runner 2049 could have lost Leto and about a half hour of flab, but otherwise I liked it.

i loved blade runner 2049 lol. i know i'm wrong

Blade Runner 2000 is the only film to feature a key creative recurring from earlier in the list
there was only one vote for Three Billboards IRL

It's nice to agree w/ Morbs and Shakey that Blade Runner 2 sucked

I loved Blade Runner 2049, it was my #6 I believe. Didn’t read Do Androids or watch the first movie until maybe a month before I saw 2049 and I liked it much more than both. Such a gloriously bleak and haunting world, captured PKD’s essence than most adaptations of his work. I thought it functioned as a tone poem and a mood piece, I didn’t care about the original movie or book and find this so much more engrossing and sad on a grand scale. Stunning movie.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:32 (five years ago) link
wait, you thought this movie captured PKD's essence more than a PKD book?
― the Joao looked at Jonny (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:33 (five years ago) link
the original movie and the book are irrelevant to how bad BR 2049 was
but since you brought it up it fundamentally *misses* PKD's essence imo, which is that humanity is defined by empathy (and not by, like, whether your memories are real or who your daddy was)
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:34 (five years ago) link
No, the first movie and other adaptations. I liked it a lot more than the book, though.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:35 (five years ago) link
movies shouldn't really bother being re-tellings of books tbf
― the Joao looked at Jonny (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:37 (five years ago) link
not as good as total recall imo

i was also sorta bored by this, but not in an aggressively unpleasant way, since i still realy liked it. struck me as appropriate to the whole sober approach of the movie to never really allow the Ravel piece that pops up a few times to really take up all the space on the soundtrack--it always seems rather muted.― ryan, 6 April 2017

i promised myself i was never gonna fuck with BR 2000 but if i keep hearing how pretty and boring and vapid it is i'll probably end up seeing it eventually, plus Jared Leto has somehow become a guilty pleasure of mine

The Lost City of Z felt, to me, like the kind of movie that might have been a major Hollywood release in decades past, but is treated as arthouse fare these days. I liked it.

there's a hallucinatory clarity to Gray's film that has nothing to do with Boorman or Herzog; he's one of a kind among American directors.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 26 July 2018 19:56 (five years ago) link

second view of AQP: future Governor Nixon still excellent, as is Ehle, but some real problems in the script and supporting cast. Knocked it to my second ten.
