The opening weekend of this coincides with our monthly date night, so I'll be seeing it this weekend. I'm still expecting the worst but we'll see.

I just bought tickets for a late night Friday showing. I wasn't planning on seeing this because I'm a big fan of the original.. but the reviews pushed me over the edge. It better be good.

Ah ok. I didn't know that. Thanks.
Directors cut, Shroom.
It's late guys. It's a great movie but it's only Blad Runner in a superficial sense. Maybe that's appropriate. Full report tomorrow, but for now I'll say this. If Blade Runner isn't a part of your heart, mind, and soul, you'll love it. If you're like me and Deckard is your hard boiled Jesus, you're going to be disappointed. I drove home listening to the Vangelis OST shaking my head.

^Hand-made SFX age far better than CGI.

saw it last night. It was good. I wanted it to be better though. It doesn't evoke the same feelings of wonder that Blade Runner did. I didn't feel like i was transported into the world like blade runner was able to do. The film was still good, and def is worth a watch though

Saw it last night and man oh man was it good. Thought it was one of the best movies i've ever seen. Its completely different than the first one which was the best way for it to go. It tries its own things. Its pretty easy to figure stuff out early but, it brings out some really thoughtful concepts and ideas. Do yourself the favor and go in with an open mind. Huge fan of the original and love this one just as much. I soo hope theres a home release with more though. The worlds just so damn interesting you always want more.

Keep rating and ranting. Your open-minded all knowingness is extraordinary.
I enjoyed the movie a lot, but I'm not a Blade Runner mega-fan or anything. It did have a different vibe to it, but it worked. And there were enough cool, new ideas to keep things fresh. My only complaint when comparing it to the original was that there was a lot more hand-holding in the new one.

we're so proud of you and don't deserve your presence here
First release? Both of my Director's Cut DVDs are single-sided.

Thing is the original was by Scott who was on fire back then and had his very particular take on filmmaking and story telling. Villeneuve comes into this film with his own baggage and it's bound to be strange. To me it's like the Episode 7 thing, there's a uncanny valley effect somewhere in there that makes you feel uneasy. But I practically hate JJ Abrams so fuck him and Star Wars.
I like Villeneuve as someone who can set the stage and has brilliant taste, but it's not hugely deep stuff. I'm going to watch it and try not to think about it too much. In these cases I would even prefer a reboot. But whatever, at least the attention to detail will grab me.
Maybe they should have gotten Aronovksy or Fincher to direct.

Holy crap, that is a $200 waffle maker! Do they even have waffles in 2049 or is it all hard liquor and sushi?

You know...I'm ashamed to admit it, but I had no idea what that thing ran until I looked it up today. My wife got it for me as a Christmas present years ago, I had no idea what it cost.
That things is seriously kick ass though, makes perfect waffles. We use it nearly every weekend.
Hahaha your flaccidness knows no bounds
