Take any new work that's following a line of great movies and it's usually been received as average or less-than-average. Take into account that people, who were much younger when they saw the original works, are now older and far more discerning in today's world. Couple that with the gullible kids who don't know their right from their left and think that Patton was a rocket-launcher wielding psycopath in the Revolutionary War (Yes, I have gotten this exact answer when I asked a neighbor kid who do they think Gen. George S. Patton was) and they'll think the remakes are better than the originals. He was busy during the American Revolution; taking and then losing most of Europe at the time, if he was who he says he was. I wouldn't have corrected him! Quote
electric indigo Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Is that female Blade Runner modeled after Rachel? Quote
Mommar Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 The question is will Ridley Scott have to make a Bladerunner 2050 to apologize for Bladerunner 2049? Quote
Roy Focker Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Visually it looks great. The first one had great visuals too but was kind of slow and boring. Quote

Phobos Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I'm really looking forward to picking up this soundtrack. Johann Johannsson did a fantastic job with Arrival and Sicario. Not to mention the awesome job the Director did as well. Quote
Mommar Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Was that a bit of Johann Johannsson in the latest trailer? Quote

TangledThorns Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Just hit me that with ALIEN: Covenant and Blade Runner 2049 it seems 2017 is the year of Ridley Scott. Interesting times we live in. Quote
dizman Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Spoiler With Deckard still being alive and hopefully not a replicant I guess it would be best to assume that the new Blade Runner is a replicant since they can use that twist again and have the movie built around it this time. Edited May 10, 2017 by dizman spoiler tagged just in case Quote

TangledThorns Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I remember thinking how cool Deckard's gun looked in the movie. As much as I want to buy a similar looking revolver such as the Rhino I know I wouldn't like it as much as I my semi-auto pistols. Quote

Togusa's Mateba2006M s similar to the Rhino. I ended up skipping it because I heard they have a tendency to explode. Still, I felt the need to get a revolver in the collection, so I ended up picking up a GP100 off a buddy for cheap. I don't like shooting it as much as my semi autos, but it's kinda cool having a revolver anyways. Quote

My wife secretly wants a GP100 or anything that is similar to a Colt Anaconda because of The Walking Dead Quote
Sildani Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I want a Mateba autorevolver because it IS Togusa's gun. Sadly, they were expensive when new about 30 years ago and they're hard to maintain. Quote
big F Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 I love the fact you guys talk about getting guns, heck in old Blighty the best I can do is a BB gun or a Nerf pistol. Getting a license over here is so hard. Quote
Sildani Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 You can't even have a folding knife that locks open over there! On the other hand you all get interesting cars and good beer and pretty much instant access to the rest of Europe. Quote
Hikuro Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Here's my theory of the twist. It's all been a big computer simulation by Weyland-Yutani to show how replicants will never be accepted cause they're to flawed like the rest of humanity while synthetics are far superior, easier to program and probably recyclable to some degree and never go rogue thus Tyrell Corp goes bankrupt and Weyland-Yutani buys them out for their tech to push synths closer to perfection. Quote
electric indigo Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 ...and then the synths go Full Genocide with alien goo! Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Hmmm, sounds like they're making it bigger and deeper than it needs to be with this conspiracy theme. Quote
electric indigo Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Yeah, it's a dangerous road they're taking. Still it looks fantastic. Quote
electric indigo Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Cyberpunk finally raises from the grave! Now can we have a series of "Burning Chrome" shorts? Quote

chyll2 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 That short made my expectation from this movie go 180. Now I am hyped! Quote
