Blade Runner 2049 (Official Thread)

[TheGodling]

I agree about the second viewing. Weird thing is Wallace isn't even necessarily a villain, he's just insanely ambitious and driven by his desires to explore the universe and wants to do so off the backs of replicants, so I guess it really comes down to whether or not you'd view replicants as human or not in terms of whether he's a villain.

Wallace is a criticism of idea of God in its purest form. The entire character boils down to, what if there really was a being who creates life without a single emotional investment in their well-being, placing himself so high on a pedestal above his creations that he speaks almost exclusively in soliloquy and only addresses one directly in a most demanding rhetoric. His ambition to "own the stars" isn't any different from God's necessity to be loved unconditionally over the backs of his own creation's suffering.

4, was a bit sick past weekend so I only went once. They're opening the completely renovated IMAX theater this week in my local theater so I can finally catch it in IMAX tonight (one time only before that Geostorm bullshyt comes out) and I will probably try to catch it this weekend again too.

I've never understood this behavior.

I mean maybe back in the day, but the home release window is so short i'm good with one viewing and waiting the 2.5-3 months for digital and or blu-ray.

Maybe it's because I have a photographic memory

I got the time and I got an unlimited pass.

And it's too bad your photographic memory can't make up your lack of taste.

3 times, unlimited pass that includes IMAX.

I don't see the big deal, I've listened to the last Wu album for about as much time as I've been sitting watching Blade Runner.

Also, home experience will never equal IMAX. At least not in my case

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Can we talk about how fukking good Dave Bautista was in this film? He was in it for a total of what, 6 minutes? He left a really large impression on me from just that short period of time.
