Comment on What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?
Ixoid@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoI’m pretty sure my recent rewatch was the director’s cut. The theatrical release must have been indecipherable. I hear what you’re saying about the cyberpunk aesthetic - the visuals were the best thing about this movie. I would thoroughly recommend scifi buffs reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick - it’s an excellent (and not overly long) dystopian novella that has so many layers and themes (that Blade Runner largely omitted).

I know we’re dunking on a beloved classic, but it would be fair to state this even more harshly.
I felt like there’s really barely even a scrap of
Do Androids Dream of Electric SheepinBladeRunner.I think BladeRunner is cool, and I’m thankful BladeRunner 2049 actually at least has some ideas from the book.
But I can’t help but regret that BladeRunner has kept us from ever getting a proper
Electric Sheepmovie.Honestly, I really just want more people to get all the amazing Turtle-on-its-back jokes done with Bender in Futurama.
