Ridley Scott to direct new Blade Runner entry

[Rancid Cheese]

The Thing 2011 isn't a remake though...

Yeah it's a prequel which makes even less sense but it is still from 1982 like the others . . .

Close encounters + Goonies + E.T = Super 8

Which all have some level of involvement by who exactly? I'll give you a clue his initials are "S.S." . . .

Anyway bah to a new Blade Runner film Ridley seems to be grasping at his back catalog for some glory . . .

Bought time this was made, we've already had God Hand the game.
We've been giving the devil the middle finger since day one.

And now Super 8 is a love letter to everything Spielberg who gave us E.T. in what year . . . 1982.

Close encounters + Goonies + E.T = Super 8

It's the purge of 1982 man, this is messed up I mean seriously,

Tron, Conan, The Thing, Dark Crystal even Poltergeist was remade in all but name for Insidious. And now Super 8 is a love letter to everything Spielberg who gave us E.T. in what year . . . 1982.

I need to go lie down . . .

Sidenote: I believe Deckard is a human. The story isn't as powerful if he's a replicant . . .

The Thing 2011 isn't a remake though...

[kevstah2004]

I need to rewatch the original, my memory of this classic is so vivid much like The Lawnmower Man and Tron, must of been too young for it to stick in my memory properly.

Well atleast Ridley Scott is directing it instead of some new talent.

Philip k dick is a genius, I got the impression from the book that he was definitely an android.

don't really know what to think about a prequel or sequel maybe a more true to the book version would be better.

reading the man in the high castle again, its a hell of a book.

If you like sci fi do yourself a favour and read the short story "Shell Game" its the last short story in a compilation called "The book of Philip k Dick" It is the best piece of sci fi that I have ever read. Check it out it should be made into a movie.

also never thought it was rape, machines are made to do stuff for humans.

Yea, I think he actually has less emotion then an android lol. For some reason, I never liked Deckard's narration, probably because it's just so flat, boring and well, emotionless. Also, I just stumbled upon this today and I know I'm probably the last person on earth to realize this :/

Bryan Fury = Roy Batty

I don't think he is, but he might be. I don't make the story here. I think its more interesting seeing a human rape a android than a android rape another android. Just my opinion of course.

Fixed.

Yeah, I detest that scene for so many reasons but at the same time it's powerful and telling of Deckard's character. See thing is, he transends anti-hero, he's not heroic in the least. I believe Deckard is a classic villain, hunting down beings who just want freedom, but he's given the protagonist role. We're seeing things from his sick, sad perspective. Which is so godamn interesting and why I find this movie amazing.(aside from a few pacing issues)

As for if he's a replicant or not, well to me it'd be a nice twist if he was, but then his emotional hollowness isn't nearly as interesting.
