Blade Runner 2049

Man, 1982, off to see a real sci-fi movie starring Han Solo/Indy and made by Ridley Scott, scored by Vangelis, what a time to be a nerd. Such a beautiful movie, ambiguous by design, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos looking like they really were from the future (2019!), the reality and desperation of the Replicants...amazing design - I'm really looking forward to this movie but concerned it's going to be less cool and more marketing fluff.

 

My pal Jason built an amazing replica of the blimp from the original

ridley scott said he was a replicant in an interview a few years ago. they can probably play that off if they need to, though.

Oh damn I didn't know that. I wish he would have been ambiguous about it. That was the fun part. So if he is a replicant, I wonder if our main character in this one will want to dispose of him...hmm guess il have to wait and see thanks for the info.

yeah, i think he said it because it had been a while after the movie was out, and he didn't see a sequel. i prefer thinking of him as being human, so i choose to willfully suspend disbelief. :-)

im excited for the sequel, and hope they are true to the original. it's so good, i'd hate to see any blemish on it.

Since the first one takes place 30 years before this one and the Replicants in that one only had a 4 year life span, either Deckard is a rare/unique model that not only lives substantially longer but ages as well or he is human.

 

The cynic in me says they will walk back the "he is a replicant" talk and go with something more along the lines of Roy's dying words and his love for Rachel ruined him as a Blade Runner but now they need him back.  I hope I'm way off base, but I cant say I have much confidence in anyone's ability to make a worthy sequel.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
