Blade Runner 2049 | October 6, 2017 | Villeneuve directs | Full Trailer on Page 40

Personally I loved Blade Runner, that is an opinion.

 

But it is strange to watch this if you didn't watch the first one. You will have no clue what's going on with Harrison Ford's character: FACT.

Is that any different than any singular film where a character doesn't have a backstory?

I think a quick scan of the blade runner Wikipedia page would poke holes in your fact.

Incidentally The Birds remains by far my most hated classic.

Made another thing - couldn't get the music from the first teaser out of my head

I actually just talked about this with my wife the other day. We were watching You've Got Mail, and I mentioned how happy I was that the generation that is OBSESSED with the Godfather is finally starting to die.

I think you might be waiting on that one.

My hated classic is It's A Wonderful Life.

Curious to see your Hitchcock rankings.

 

I don't think my rankings would be very interesting.  The only exception is I'm not a big fan of PSYCHO but I think I railed about it enough in my Overrated list that one time. 

[Jake Gittes]

I think Psycho up to and including the murder on the stairs is the greatest filmmaking Hitch's ever done but it definitely goes downhill after that. 

[Hatebox]

Never understood the Citizen Kane hate. Even/especially by the standards of when it was made it zips along, has an engaging central mystery, compelling acting and witnessing the birth of so much technique that came to define modern cinema is exhilarating.

 

But then again, it is in black and white.

[Jake Gittes]

Just remembered one film that came out the same year as Citizen Kane that both the old-movie skeptics and enthusiasts need to see: Hellzapoppin'. One way or another, that thing would blow everyone's fucking mind. 

[Travod]

I found Citizen Kane to be incredibly slow and dull, and the cinematography overrated. Yeah, whatever, "historical significance," I understand, but that doesn't make it amazing by today's standards. Don't @ me

Searched through every legal streaming service and also my TV for any scheduled showings and Blade Runner doesn't appear to exist. Well, I tried.

It was on Netflix about a year ago. This is why digital renting and physical media are still important.

There are like 13 different versions of this movie. I figure I'd rather just see original theatrical cut, but is there one version that's the gold standard?

Watch "The Final Cut". It's also a rare director's cut that's shorter than the original.

don't watch the theatrical version

[MrPink]

The theatrical cut has some incredible narration. 

 

[Travod]

On an unrelated note, Tele, I recently watched the Black and Chrome Edition of Fury Road and it was... dumb? That movie thrives in part because of how beautiful the colors are, and despite everybody saying these black and white releases aren't just turning off color on people's TVs (and instead some long process where they decide what goes black and what goes white), that's really just what they look like lol.

^^ It's a niche version and I'm not surprised that many wouldn't care for it. It's basically WB giving Miller a bit of a gift, indulging him (and getting a chance to maybe eke out a few bucks too).

[Chewy]

I watched the theatrical cut and some other cut a buddy bugged me to watch. The theatrical cut is better
