Here's hoping one of my film buddies will pick it up so that I can borrow it from whoever. Or that the supposed theatrical re-release of the movie will actually come to Regina so that I can see it on the big screen (the re-release for ALIEN never came, so I'm not banking on this possibility). Maybe with all these different versions and features and all, maybe I'll finally get why everyone's got a massive hard-on for the film.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm one of the few people who didn't like BLADE RUNNER. Yeah, it looked pretty and may have been on the cutting edge in 1982, but it had absolutely no heart and soul, even though ironically that was what it was all about.

That being said, I will try to get my hands on this and go through it. I dunno. Maybe I'll finally get it this time.

Funny, I hadn't thought about this movie in months and months, but as soon as I looked at that picture of the police spinner, I heard that sound that their drive made, that irritating hum. (Irritating on purpose, I am sure.)

Looks like this will be released December 18th. At least that's what Ridley Scott said during his interview from Comicon on G4 today. He also made mention of the new cut being shown in larger markets(NY, LA of course) on the big screen. Too bad I won't be able to see this in the theatre one last time.

I'd love to see it in the theater again.
But I'll settle for this shiny version.

I think you may be thinking of "Ice Pirates"; Blade Runner had plenty of heart and soul IMO...
