A Local Group called themselves "The Bradbury Apartment" Even had a Song called "Easy" with Samples from the Film. Very Good band Deserved to do more. H.
T-shirt?.... I'd have the movie poster tattooed on me face if I could get away with it!
Best film ever made.
(There's loads web-sites about which detail the extraordinary amount of layers there are to this film... they put so much in there that nobody realises is there... and reading Paradise Lost is helpful too.)
Just saw the 2007 Director's Cut last weekend on the huge screen at Imperial, Copenhagen. Wow - what an experience. I'd seen it on DVD before, but damn how much better it is blown-up full-size. The surround sound was quite creepy, it was so good, and there's so much more of the city's detail that comes out on the big screen, even the added computerised bits.
The Director's Cut is a real improvement on the original, which I saw on video when it was released for rental way back when. Even then I found the Philip Marlowe-type narration annoying, so I'm glad they took it off. There's some great embellishments on the Director's Cut - especially the way they got the actress who played Zhora to come back in, put a bit of slap on and morphed her face onto that stunt woman with the red curly wig. Much better, lads!
Still, they should have left the scene where Deckard questions the guy who made the snake silent. Yeah so what we couldn't hear what he's saying, 'cause we're (i.e. the camera) outside the guy's shop. The fact that they added Harrison Ford's new voice synced on the top is just plain hollywood spoon-feeding. You can just imagine some chump in the preview audience making a note about not understanding the scene...
Of course the Blade Runner nerds were out in force, but dammit those Replicants are more human than the bloody humans (even those who work in IT departments!) I defy anyone to not get moved by Roy Batty's final forgiving actions and speech. I'm glad I got the chance to finally see this film how it should be - at the flicks ;-)
