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 mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can. 
    • My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.
    • In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
