I wonder what Danfun thinks about this.
I for one wouldn’t subject myself to such atrocious animation.
Wow, that animation is really bad.
FTFM

FWIW, Blade Runner 2049 is getting very good reviews from what I’ve read.

So the girlfriend loves Blade Runner. Just about her favorite film.
She is, of course, interested in the new one, but has stayed spoiler-free…
Until yesterday when an ad came on tv.
Harrison: They were hunting us!
Drive Guy: Who was hunting you?
Harrison: *slow look up
Her: "Oh… Oh no! So he’s actually… and he was the one who was… Oh. No. I’m out."
Me: “You’re the best.”

If nothing else, I’m sold on the aesthetic alone. I’m here for Roger Deakins, even if the rest sucks.

The only thing that gets me into a theater is the hope of hearing a good story told well.
I very, very rarely go to the movies.

perhaps you should check out audiobooks.
The only thing that gets me to the theater is a Visual/auditory spectacle that can’t be appreciated at home in the same way. Mad Max, Star Wars, this, etc. of course it has to have a good story, but a good story by itself doesn’t sell IMAX tickets.

New Blade Runner 2049 trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZOaI_Fn5o4
Not a fan of this trailer. Firstly, why the hell does this trailer start with a 5 second trailer for itself?
I’m not averse to action at all, but the action scenes presented in the trailer seem fundamentally un-Blade Runner. I think that’s partly due to the way the trailer was edited. This trailer is trying to market the movie as an action film for mainstream audiences, so it follows the mainstream trailer formula. It’s always a landscape shot or two, someone talking (sometimes to another person), action clips with overbearing drums, repeat ad infinitum.
The cinematography is gorgeous and the soundtrack is killer, though.
Agreed. But hands down the most disappointing aspect of it was that they basically confirmed that Deckard was a replicant, and I DESPISE that theory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_2049
"When Scott was asked about the possibility of a sequel in October 2012, he said, ‘It’s not a rumor—it’s happening. With Harrison Ford? I don’t know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don’t know how long he can live. And that’s all I’m going to say at this stage.’"The general consensus is that Deckard being a Replicant diminishes the story of the original film, and though I have never much cared for the Blade Runner universe, I agree. It seems like Ridley Scott has entered the phase where his interpretation is the right and valid one, even at the expense of the basic theme and continuity of his franchises. Sounds like another director I know…
Exactly. Everything works better in the Blade Runner when he’s a human which is why the final cut minus the unicorn dream is the perfect cut of the movie for me.
You can keep the dream and just cut the origami shot. It is easier.
Anyway, Scott has proven to be horrible when it comes to story and ideas. He is good when good ideas and story is handed over to him and he sticks to it.

Why’s it easier to cut the origami shot? The dream comes out much more cleanly, and the origami shot still has meaning without the dream (Gaff is telling Deckard that escaping with Rachel is just a fantasy that can never be real). The dream, on the other hand, means nothing without the origami shot at the end.

Deckard falling for Rachel is being a unrealistic and unicorn nicely represents that. But this can apply to both the origami and the dream. The difference is that the dream would imply that Deckard himself subconsciously knows it, while with origami, Gaff is relying that fact to him. So, the dream can stand on its own just as easily.

Yes, Deckard being a human is thematically important. But so is raising the question of whether he might be a replicant.
Also, is there not a dedicated Blade Runner thread?

Hey. I’m only 39, and I love audiobooks. My wife and I have listened to Harry Potter (by Stephen Fry) and The Belgariad enough times to have lost count. And Orson Scott Card went on record in the afterword for the 30th Anniversary audiobook of Ender’s Game to say that he thought “hearing it read aloud is the superior way to experience this story.”
Before the majority of the populous was literate, and long before the advent of film and television, being a storyteller was actually a thing. Hearing a story told to you by an accomplished narrator can be an enjoyable experience.

Oh, I was really just kidding. I get the appeal and have a couple as well. Stephen King’s The Mist in “3D audio” is very cool. Sound effects and all that. I guess that’s more like a radio drama than an audiobook though.
I used to read Oscar Wilde plays to my friends at their request. It was always lot’s of fun to play all the parts!

Ha, I always think of you as a teenager, but not because of your posts…for some reason it’s the avatar that does it.
I’m at a loss to explain why, however.

That is curious, since the character in his avatar has been around for 31 years. 😛

For one reason or another, I find it very hard to listen to audiobooks unless I stop anything else I’m doing, close my eyes, and concentrate entirely on them. Otherwise they just become background noise.
Suffice to say, I haven’t “read” many audiobooks.
