Blade Runner OV vs. DC

Because its the version, some people prefer, it doesnt matter if you dont think it as good, each person has a different taste and some prefer the Original Version of Blade Runner just as people prefer the Original Versions of Star Wars.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>
<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

Theatrical cut - happy ending = my favorite edition.

And it shouldn't. A film is what the director wanted, not what others want. The studios, fans, etc, cannot be taken into consideration when working on a film, otherwise it's not the director's film anymore, is it?
but could a director not want to make a film that fans love. in that case what the fans want should be taken into consideration.
thats why studios have screenings and then go back and make changes (hence the VO in Blade Runner) The studios finance the movie so why shouldnt what they want matter? If the fans arent gonna go see it the studios wont green light it (Ok, well if the studios dont think the fans will want to see it) and it wont get made, so shouldnt that be taken into consideration at least a little?
also, what about the writers (including creators of the characters, ie for comics) of the story? surely they should have more say in it than the director as they are the ones that came up with the vision in the first place. (not saying this applies here)
and is it what the directed wanted or what he wants. (Lucas wants SW as he's making it now, he wanted it as he made it in 77. Part of his wants back then were for the fans to accept it so it made money, now he doesnt care about what the fans want)
finally, no one has argued that one version is better/superior in any way. Sure people have said "I prefer xxxx version" but they stated it as their opinion. You asked about preserving a cut of a movie that in you're opinion was shitty and why people would want that. well first off, preservation has nothing to do with the quality of the movie, it has to do with keeping the movie (available) in its original form. This has been told to you before. People here arent saying only make the Theatrical available or only make the DC availble, they are saying make both available. Preserve the version that was shown in theatres. ok, release directors cuts or extended cuts if you want. make those available, but dont throw away the theatrical because original vision or not, thats how some people first saw it and thats how some people prefer it.

Why did you even make this thread? You've never even seen the OV, why do you care?
Just for the record, I haven't seen either version of Blade Runner, and I really don't care.

How would you know? You've never seen it! Or is that what Wikipedia told you?

Yes, I know these changes from Wikipedia. And you really should watch Blade Runner, no matter the version. It really is amazing. I'm not going to pull one of those "You must watch this version!" though.

Now, I'll admit, I've never seen Blade Runner, and I've heard both have their merits, but how can you say that the DC "added to the quality of the film" when you haven't seen the film in question?

You know, it's funny how you can say that the Southerners AROUND you are stupid.
