Loved Blade Runner. The teaser is good, maybe good enough to entice other people to see it with me when it comes out. I do wish that Sir Ridley were directing it, though. Blade Runner is his best work and it's a shame that he's not able to direct the sequel. It's disappointing that he is doing the Alien movie instead, but oh well. As an aside, it's hilarious that the original was set in the far-off year 2019. It always amuses me to compare reality to whatever dystopian future Hollywood and sci-fi writers can dream up. The vision of a perpetually dark, rainy LA, its streets crowded with ramshackle dives and downtrodden people is quite evocative but completely at odds with the current day.

SNATCHED | May 12 2017 | Fox | trailer on page 1
Talkie replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
The trailer was meh for me but Schumer's fans likely ate it up. The end was funny, though, in the cringy-est way possible. Crude humor is too *ahem* crude for me, which is how I know it will be a hit with everyone else. -
Kikuchi was only effective when the script called for Mako to lapse into Japanese. Working opposite Idris Elba seemed to help her a little, too. Otherwise she was as lifeless as Hunnam. The damn bulldog gave a better performance that the two leads. Had del Toro made Stacker the true center of the movie and relegated the others to minor/supporting status, Elba might have salvaged it. The visuals alone weren't enough to save it, though, murky and meaningless as those were.

Hunnam gave a horrid performance in PR, one that was matched in awfulness by Rinko Kikuchi. His narration in the beginning of the movie was wretched, though the turgid dialogue did nothing to help. Hunnam and Kikuchi had no chemistry and neither brought enough charisma to their roles generate any emotional investment. It's no surprise that they are not coming back for the sequel and no loss.

HIDDEN FIGURES | 12.25.16 | Fox | Stage musical in the works

If ever terrorists try to firebomb your house in the middle of the night I hope you will respond with compassionate understanding of the psychological and sociological factors that drove them to such extremes of violence. That should help you to cope with the decades of nightmares and flashbacks you will have to live with.
