This is so influential... Bladerunner came out when I was studying Industrial Design, and you could see it's influence everywhere in our class work for the rest of the course. Syd Mead commented at Siggraph a few years back that he has designers coming to him all the time explaining that it was his work in Bladerunner that inspired them to follow a career in design...

fair point ribit! i worked with an industrial/concept/blablabla designer and he always said that bladerunner was an neverending source of inspiration

The films real assets are acquired tastes. What is bad about it becomes part of the overall goodness of it over time. It's a classic and amazingly stands the test of time and style. I used to think it was all eye candy, but had no action, and bored me. I never felt the music either. Now, I love the music, and find the slow pace perfect for absorbing the visuals and ambiance of the film. Great film.

Anyone read any of the other P K Dick books. The original Minority Report is cool.

read a lot of his short stories... some really disturbing with the characters unable to tell what is reality and what isnt..

So what's the big deal about the directors cut?...is it that Scott introduces the idea that Deckard might be a simulant too?
- ricstultz0
I read the sequels to Bladerunner.
FYI: Decker is a replicant....

The directors cut loses the overdub of Deckers thoughts, introduces the idea of him being a replicant, and gets rid of the happy ending.

if you like bladerunner..you might like this...1977 comic strip by Dan O'Bannon/Moebius which provided a big influence to the film visuals...

The directors cut mostly just lacks Harrison Fords narrative. I agree it is annoying to those familier with the film or book, but it does have insight for those who are not.

minority report was just a short story...didn't have time to really get into it, but it has the same scifi noir feel to it.
- danthon0
correct me if I am wrong, but R. Scott admitted that Decker was indeed a replicant in an interview before his death

Live action sequel series coming soon from Amazon- The recent anime series was absolute shite.
Hope they have a good budget and writersPhanLo - 2099? Set 70+ years after the original and 50 after the sequel ... Fucking ridiculous... just cashing in on the name/title ...Bluejam
