The amazingly beautiful Sean Young didn't go too bloody bad either, although I heard she went off the rails a bit later stalking James Woods in a harassment case and it tarnished her career (possibly unfairly). And I must say, if I had to be "stalked" by anyone, Sean Young would have been one of my first choices ... :) Also, good to see a movie out of the era before men became reconstructed (harrison Ford at his nasty but human best) and, what's that bullsh.t word? Ah yes, metrosexual. I suppose it's just a general reflection of how Hollywood's become, though. Great movie, however, and one of the genuine all-time greats (I've watched it many more times than once. Sorry Sean, I'd have loved you to have stalked me if indeed that's what really happened - and, honest, I'd never have called the cops) although the director's cut disappointed me a bit. The neon and the fans going all day and all night reminded me of those hot, humid, summer nights in Sydney, too, when no bastard manages to get any sleep. 681860@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:23:17 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/18/164146.php#comment-681859 I agree with Rosey, Pris was dead-set hot ... except when she got mad.

I always thought it inspirational the way the androids loved life so much and had, ok have, a major crush on Pris. That said, I have zero interest in a 5 disc "Collectors Edition", which, like so many of these so-called special editions, is more just an attempt to milk the fans shamelessly. 681797@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:36:16 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/18/164146.php#comment-681795 "tell us what you REALLY think." I believe that's what I'm supposed to do here. Correct me if I'm wrong. "yep. must be a bad film... how could anyone possibly like it?" I asked myself the same question. That said, Roger Ebert initially hated the movie to. Years later after watching it again, he took it all back and said it's one of the greats of the genre. So.. In a few years, I'll give it another go. Maybe my thoughts will change. I love sci-fi, and this was my first time watching Blade Runner. Now that I have a better idea of what to expect, I'll give it a second shot. Until then, the score remains the same. 681795@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Dec 2007 18:20:42 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/18/164146.php#comment-681760 gee matt - don't hold back - tell us what you REALLY think. yes, it's so bad that it's grown more popular over the last 25 years than it ever was on release, it's been given an unprecedented restoration treatment and release on disc, and just got moved into position #98 on the AFI 100 list. yep. must be a bad film... how could anyone possibly like it? brian carroll UT, USA 681760@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Dec 2007 15:25:06 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/12/18/164146.php#comment-681271 Been looking forward to this being remastered. I am leaning towards the 4 disk standard version. Not sure I need the workprint. 681271@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:31:19 EST
