Wow, this thread got out of control didn't it? Then again, that's what happens when you're the odd man out in a thread catering to a cult classic.
I'm going to blunt here: I don't like Blade Runner. I don't feel that it's a particularly good film. I don't think it's really influential enough to deserve a spot in history. I do, however, acknowledge that some aspects of the film (atmosphere, mainly) do appeal to a great number of people. I am not one of them.
I read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In that sense, I have a right to complain that Blade Runner is about as well-done and accurate an adaptation as the Resident Evil films; piss-poor, to be frank.
I'm not sure it needs a sequel either, given it is a very self-contained narrative that doesn't lend itself well extention.
Just wanted to put that out there as a reasonable and logical reaction to Blade Runner and the possibilities of sequel that isn't blind fanaticism one way or another.
I hated him, he's a penis. Humans come onto a planet thinking they have the right to destroy its way of life just so they can get money. I'd kill him too.
^ This. He's the perfect formula to hate. That's why he's such a good... bad... guy. If that makes any sense.
If you like Quaritch, you support Hitler's actions against the Jews. Except replace "Aryan race" with "money".

Well see, I do hate him, but only because he's such a good villain. He just doesn't give a fuck, he really reminds me of Hans Gruber. He's just a perfect bad guy.
