The ultimate way to see Blade Runner is theatrically. The final cut print is amazing and when the sound is run very loud it almost pulses. But the DC print is even better and is in my eyes the definitive BR experience save only for the missing violent shots.

MIB II
I had forgotten how dull this was. A bored and late retread of the original.
2 out of four.
MIB III
Finally saw this and felt it was really unnecessary. The present day scenes feel rather tacked on and once J jumps back it’s still the same old “find one alien who’s gong to wreck everything”. I did truly enjoy Brolin as young K as it was a great performance in character instead of some CG nightmare (listening here LFL?)
But the ending was truly just a final twist that was tacked on there and to me at least doesn’t achieve the significance it wanted.
2 1/2 out of 4.

Sony is apparently going to reboot the franchise. Wonderful…

LaLa Land.
I tried to avoid it…and then I was talked into seeing it.
I’m not a musical guy first and foremost but I can appreciate them and the artistry behind them. But this is really not one of those. This is some kind of weird modern “throwback” that doesn’t have one iota of real lasting significance. It also has such a wildly uneven tone that the movie itself can’t seem to make up its mind about what it wants to be. And being a geek I found the camerawork rather off putting as it is a fake CinemaScope cropping of a regular Panavision shoot and a film where the cinematographer does not prowl around in swirling choreographed moves but rather swoons around like an idiot.

Some people love this and good for them but I’m really not one of those.
I found it a shame that it was even a Best Picture nominee.
(Admittedly I audibly griped when I saw the unexplained green lit curtain in the character’s apartment. A nod to great films is one thing…but stealing that…augh!)
