In the 90's, they released the director's cut in theaters and I was lucky enough to see it on film. It was a major influence for me. Years later I worked with Mark Stetson, who back then was just a model builder for the bladerunner city, and I got to tour with Syd Mead in Italy for a week and hear countless stories about it over dinner until 2am, packed into taxis, and walking through the streets of Torino, dodging cars and scooters while he was recounting times with Ridley Scott or designing world pavilions and super yachts.
Watching bladerunner as a kid, never would have imagined that!

it had been years since i watched the movie and for some dumb reason thought it would be a good one to watch again on a late night plane ride to vegas.
i forgot all about the boobs scene, which lasted much longer than i expected.
the people behind me were less than impressed.
i just kind turned around and was like '... uh.... blade runner...' and continued on.

Its a triumph of Art Direction, kind of suffocates everything else, but I still love it...

I saw it years ago, nice, but not my thing either. That and a cheesy ending. The vision of the future seemed lame, ie. lack of personal communication devices aka mobile phones.
I liked the Vangelis score back then.

(Jun 25 07, 04:45)Surely you must mean the schmalzy ending that Hollywood fucked up as opposed to the director's cut!! don't see how that could POSSIBLY be percieved as cheezy...I like Vangelis' score still, sounds just as good today.
I recently did a shoot with the guy who did the origami for the film

and i *believe* Yves Saint-Laurent designed the clothing for ford... as shown in that image linked...

the concept and AD, along with the proto work for the vehicle design (Syd Meade), not to mention the modernist design and space planning were genius and so cool to look at today, IMO.
