Just the music gets me, it made the original

 

[Raven]

Got as far as "Ryan Gosling"

[Scouse]

How can it have the original writers when Philip K Dick is dead?

Not all of them I guess then? pretty sure I read something about it awhile ago with 'original writers' or something.

I haven't seen anything Denis Villeneuve has directed that I don't like, so I'm looking forward to this.

Philip K Dick wrote Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep - which is what Blade Runner's based on. Cracking book.

He also wrote We Can Remember It For You Wholesale - which is what Total Recall is based on.

 

[BloodOmen]

I want to watch the old Blade Runner now tbfh!

 

[Moriath]

I bet its no where near as good as the original. Most remakes etc dont come close.

And The Man in the High Castle.

Nah, obviously it won't be... might still be good though.

Its not a remake, its a sequel

Sequels come under the etc bit

I first thought @TdC said "pregnant" fapping...

See what happens when you don't eat Pigs-in-blankets 6 days before Christmas?

Blade Runner bore only a slim resemblance to the book though. I doubt Dick's lack of input will make much difference...

It'll be rubbish.

 

[TdC]

I hope not. I really really want this one to roxxor my boxxors and other memes.

 

[Tom]

We're talking about the film, not your marriage.

This.

I've already had the "don't be the 'it's not like the book' guy" discussion with Wazz on social media.

Tell wazz to get back here immediately.

What @Moriath said, surprisingly.


EDIT: This has "Prometheus" written all over it in large font. Leave well alone.

Some press reviews are coming back, general vibe seems to be "May be better than the first one."

Despite its flaws, one thing about Blade Runner 2049 is most welcome: it is trying to be about something. It is trying to be deep, rich, and complex. We’ve grown so used to lowest-common-denominator blockbuster cinema that it’s almost shocking to watch a big science-fiction movie, featuring these kinds of stars, swinging for the fences in this way. It’s hard not to be impressed by, and a bit grateful for, the ambition and care evident in every frame.

Good enough for me.

Nnnggg.

Are they trying to fuck me up?

If Kermode says that I may pay for it. But not before.

@TdC. Have you fucking seen it yet? And who cares how busy work is - post more, bitch!

This really and tbh I found the original boring, when I think of classic scifi from the era, films like Close Encounters are far more entertaining.

This review though.

Blade Runner 2049 review – a gigantic spectacle of pure hallucinatory craziness
