Wow, and here I thought I was the only one who wasn't enamoured with this film. I did like watching it, and for a sci-fi flick it was entertaining, but like others I don't GET the hype. (sorry Chris, I knew as soon as you saw this you'd comment, which is what the instigator of this thread expected maybe? Bad girl, good one though)

Funny, I'd rather watch "Flash Gordon" (the movie) Or "Adventures in the Forbidden Zone." before I watch this again. It's just..... depressing. Just me.

Hello Jongsstraw:

I first saw that building, called the Bradbury in this movie, in the film noir "Double Indemnity", staring Fred McMurry and Barbara Stanwyck. So this building has been around a long time. I am sure I have seen it other movies, just can't recall them. But it stood out in "BladeRunner". So I am not surprized you recognise it. Gotta love the interior with all the iron work open like that. Iwas at a party in Chicago, where you could lean over the rail on the third floor and look down at the dance floor that was an insane mosh pit. Did I spell that right. Better stop here I am getting nostalgic.

As I stated in an earlier post today, I saw Blade Runner in the theater a few times when it came out. For me it was highly anticipated because I remember reading a preview in Starlog along with photos of Syd Mead's set creations. I've probably seen Blade Runner 75 times in my life, and despite its' serious plot flaws, it remains a cherished classic, with some of the most interesting and moving scenes in film history.

A lot of movies have serious flaws. The one I think of as the most recent is "Memento". I have seen a program about the type of brain damage the lead character suffers from and he could not have funtioned at the level protrayed in this film.

But the story grabbed me and the scenes twist such a torrid tale. I know in my mind it could never happen, but it is so well done, I just rate it as one of the best movies to come out in recent years.


It is one of my guilty pleasures.

Ooooohhhhh.... maybe you should have put that under the "Unpopular Opinions" thread.

I kinda have to agree with you there though. I'm not a huge fan. It's kinda like the original Dune for me. I want to like it, I've really tried hard to like it... but something about it just doesn't do it for me. Don't think I'd go as far as to say it sucked though.

Congrats FMF..... I think you've finally uncovered something that we don't compeletely disagree on.
