Great Blade Runner article

The best way to go!

 

You won't regret it. I just saw the 35mm DC, and it was without a doubt the best looking version I've ever seen, including the 35mm Final Cut. They hurriedly did a straight print off the negative and removed the happy ending and voiceover. Thus you lose the violent snippets from the international cut, but don't have to deal with all the new color timing.

 

My mistake. The IFI are showing the Final Cut.

 

You forgot to mention the infamous unicorn dream.

 

Supposedly Ford did the narration poorly on purpose, hoping they would drop it in the editing stage, ha ha. So much for best-laid plans.

 

Surely someone supervised this and 'directed' him?

 

What on earth is the point of the sequel?

 

So we can be bombarded with cgi effects.

 

Maybe the producer and the scriptwriter. Certainly the recording engineer. The story is oft-repeated, if inaccurate.

 

Certainly sounds a bit much

 

Although I can appreciate your skepticism, I thought you might like to see some sort of hard reference for my inclusion of this idea in this thread:

A classic Sci-Fi indeed! Perhaps "the"
Plays kind of odd without the (unnecessary) voiceover IMO.
It's like listening to Let it Be (naked).
I don't prefer either without the chit-chat, just too used to it.

 

Finally saw blade runner on the big screen yesterday. I'm going again tomorrow.

 

3 times in a week. A bit OTT....... maybe
