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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
