I've only been waitin' for this since DVD's came out...the international theatrical cut in all it's pristine glory, oh, and there'll be some cut with new footage and cleaned up FX too, in case you're interested...
Sushi, that's what my ex-wife called me Chrisisall

I'll be getting the four-disc set myself. I haven't seen the theatrical narrated version in at least ten years. I had it on VHS but I gave that one to my son when I bought the director's cut on laserdisc (then later on dvd), and who knows where that tape is now?

Quote:Me too; I tried watching my tape of it a couple years back, but I'm afraid I'm such a video snob I couldn't deal with such a bad picture for such a great movie.

Well, the wait's almost over.

I didn't know this was coming out so soon! The only problem is I have to choose between the Twin Peaks DVD set and this one.
Maybe Santa will be good to me this year. I've been very nice...

Santa's bringing mine! Hoorah!!
The Blade Runner theatrical version was one of three videos I bought when I had my first, very own VCR back in the late 80s. The other two being Highlander and Lethal Weapon.
Like you guys above I haven't seen the voice over version in forever. Should be interesting as when I got the DVD of the 'Directors Cut' I found myself saying the words in my head. Now I've got used to it without the voice over, it's gonna be strange to hear it back in place.
Not long now.

A friend of mine is getting the 5 disc Blu-Ray edition of it when it comes out, so over the holidays, I'm gonna borrow it from him to look at. Hopefully, this time I'll finally get what the big deal is with this flick.
It's weird. I've really tried to get into and like BLADE RUNNER, since everyone says it's one of, if not THE, best sci-fi movie ever made. But every time I see it, I just think it's pretty looking, but totally cold and emotionless. Maybe when I see the final, definitive version in 1080p, I'll have an "AHA" moment and love it to death like everyone else.

Quote:The voice-over makes all the difference IMO. It gets you a little bit into Deckard's head, and by the end you see that he's just been trying to shut off his feelings like so many others. Ironically, for all their bad choices, the replicants are the only ones that really experience them in the movie.

yeah, i pre-ordered this one from Amazon a while back - and i agree that the original (voice over) is the best - a little film noir and sci-fi mix ..... not to mention a fine soundtrack -( Memories of Green by Vangelis is a favorite)....
as far as cold and emotionless - well that kinda sums up the ideas of many writers of science fiction - i feel that the dystopian world created by these writers is far more believable than the utopian ones.... Muppets in Space? don't think so
BR is, IMO, a timeless masterpiece
