Bladerunner sux

[TNTrulez]

The movie sucked so much. Ahhh... it's worst than AI.

 

[Tallgeese]

Beg to disagree...which version did you see?

 

[HendrixFan]

I thought it was good, but not as good as AI.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Dude, what are you smoking? It's a noir classic!

 

[C'DaleRider]

Some people's taste is only in their mouths......

 

[TNTrulez]

The director's cut version.

It has almost no action at all. The graphics were dingy. Why would New York or LA or whatever have buildings that spout flames from the top? To make the sky black with smoke?
Why is there no cameras in the corporation building to find out the replicants?
How come the replicant are not marked with identifiers?

What a crappy movie. Waste of 2 hours.

 

[Vic]

WTF are you? 14? :disgust:

 

[A5]

I saw the Director's Cut as well. Thought it sucked. Just plodded along with no real sense of direction that I could detect.

Sorry.

 

[spidey]

It has almost no action at all.

...so?

The graphics were dingy.

It's a 'dingy' vision of the future.

Ahhh... it's worst than AI.

What was wrong with A.I.? 'Graphics' too shiny?

To reveal the depth of this EXCELLENT film, I have a very simple question to ask you:
Which characters are replicants?

As you can see, neither your sexual preference nor my age have to do with anything. Why don't you keep your mouth shut next time unless you have a constructive comment, jerk.

Excellent to you maybe. But it was really boring for me. The replicants are those people that the corporation made to be slaves in offworld exploration and mining. Sounds awfully familiar to Issac Asimov's robots who were banned on Earth but are allowed to be operated offworld for purposes too dangerous or too menial for humans. These purposes includes mining, exploration, and running energy stations. These robots were self-aware and are often much smarter and stronger than humans. Robots were also built in different designs, including making them appear human(replicant). Replicants ==> robot rip-offs.

He meant WHICH CHARACTERS were replicants. That's the whole point.
As for them being "robot" rip-offs, you say that as though Isaac Asimov invented the concept of robotics...and the film was based on a P.K. Dick story (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)--sci-fi writers have always borrowed concepts and themes from each other.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

A movie made with today's creativity and technological advances along the storyline of Bladerunner would KICK ASS.

Asimov didn't come up with the concept of robotics, but he was the first to discuss the nature and uses of robots and the morality of using robots once they became self-aware.

Too bad the movie I watched sucked.

I'm not sure we can credit Asimov with that. Best known? Maybe. First? Not so sure.

Regardless, you still didn't answer the question:
Which characters are replicants?

Clarified my question...for the numbskulls

About to start a parallel thread...anybody with half a clue is more than welcome

The always fun "you're dumb because you don't agree with me" attack. Real original.

 

[TNTrulez]

Those guys who were shot dead were replicants. Hooray for them. Die replicants die. Movie was really boring though. I don't care how much depth it has. It was really really boring. I had to force myself to watch it till the end, hoping it would improve. It never improved.

If you were paying attention, maybe you'd have a sensible argument, but it seems you were not. Go watch it again with a more critical eye. Forget about explosions and violence and flashy lights for a moment. I know it's hard to imagine in this day and age, but there was once a time, not long ago, when movies actually had plot, depth, a philosophical message about human nature....this is from that forgotten age.

Perhaps this will lead you more in a better direction:
Deckard (Harrison Ford): Was he really a human being?

Maybe you should force yourself to watch it again.

OK, how's this:
Use of the term numbskull implies someone unwilling (or unable) to use his/her brain in any meaningful way. In this case, unwilling to even think that there might be more depth to something than what he/she originally perceived. Fine by me if you wanna go through life that way. But such stubborn refusal to even leave open the slightest possibility that there might be more to something than what you originally thought...WOW, that's hubris beyond belief!

I'd also apply the term numbskull to your stunning use of the ever popular "let's mimic the eyeroll" attack when you have nothing meaningful to add on either side. :frown:

So, which characters were replicants?

It wasn't an agree or disagree situation that TallGeese was responding to. He kept asking a question and TNTrulez has shown that he didn't pay attention well enough to understand the point of the movie. In this situation, yes, TNT is being a numbskull. Not because he didn't like the movie, but because he's bashing something without understanding it.

It's like me saying that random pieces of famous art are stupid when I haven't taken the time to find out the true meaning behind them. BTW, abstract art blows, anyway.
