Watched Blade Runner last night.
Spoiler:
don't quote me on this
I just watched "The Dark Cyrstal". It's a beautiful movie, and the puppetry work is some of Henson's and Oz's finest, and I'm glad to have finally seen it.
But boy is it a boring movie.

Currently (like, actually) finishing Apocrypha 3
Watched the new "Blade Runner" today. It's good, but not nearly as good as the original. Overall, I'm actually a bit disappointed.
Oh it's WAY better than the original. Have you seen that movie recently?
I think the story in 2049 is a lot better but I'm a bigger fan of the original Blade Runner's visual styleOriginally Posted by 2Bad
ignoring the bad opinion I'm more puzzled why you feel the need to put movie titles in quotation marks
Quite recently
I can feel that, but man, as a movie, the more I've thought about it recently the more I keep coming back to how much Roy's crew sucks and drags that movie down.
Man I know why Rodyle disagrees. You explain /your/ opinion here.
Because I'm too lazy to properly italicise them. :-)
Uh... Define "recently". Last time I rewatched it must have been... I don't know, six, seven months ago?
All that time spent on the clown and the scientist and it just comes to fucking NOTHING oh I HATE it.
And yes I know, 2049 could probably stand to have Gosling spend less time looking at craps tables but at least that's VISUALLY fantastic and not annoying.
Story primarily as well as dialogue. Also I prefer most of the performances over the first with the exception of Rutger Hauer. I don't even prefer it considerably more.
Ironically for as much as I liked 2049 it was also the first time I've ever been fighting sleep in the THEATER. I'm fat and just got off a 13 hour shift hmm yes let's go sit in the dark for 3 hours, drink whiskey and beer, and watch something that is 75% dialogue free with soft string music
What do you find better in both story and dialogue?
Additionally, we can talk more about performance, but, are you going to prefer Wallace over Tyrell?

ok now I sincerely never would have described 2049 as 'soft string music', if anything I'd have described it as the original music with all the inhumanity and none of the poetry. it plays well to the industrial sort of strength of summer but it's not soothing!
I wouldn't compare the two, they're going for entirely different characters despite their superficially similar positions.

Man I don't remember what it was I just know that I was praying for someone to talk so my friend would stop periodically punching my arm
This is part of why I prefer the original: all the characters had much more presence, not just Roy Batty.
This is extremely appropriate. I love it to death, it's an evolution on BR's music in the same way the visuals evolved, it's quite possibly Zimmer's best work! But the only part that's comfortable is the Tears in Rain remix.

I think Luv can come close, but ironically, she would probably come closer if Wallace wasn't present on screen.
I found the story more engaging tho that's probably in part because I like to see more of the world outside of just the city. The dialogue felt a bit more natural to me but I could stand to rewatch the first one sometime.
Wallace wasn't in enough of the film for my liking, no.
I just can't back that, the characters are probably the part where BR1 is the weakest. Like, surely you aren't going to argue that Ford and Young are a stronger leading pair than Gosling and Armas?
