And yeah, I know a sequel won't actually change how good Bladerunner is on its own. I just don't look forward to nerds talking about how the sequel determines the "canon" ending of Bladerunner.

I've already been down that road when it comes to Ridley Scott Sci-Fi sequels/prequels. Also, happy Shantae day!

I don't think about favorite movies often but I'd have to put Alien and Road Warrior in the list and they are very much opposites on the sequel quality scale. Aliens was great but other than some iconic scenes, the sequels were all garbage. Meanwhile everything after Road Warrior was great and I might be convinced Fury Road was better.

I've come to terms with Alien 3 and don't hate it nearly as much as I did as a child, but that franchise has always truly been only a two film set in my mind.

Alien 3 would be a cult SF classic if it didn't have the Alien name and retroactively ruin the ending of Aliens. The direction and soundtrack are top notch.

Not exactly off screen but yes it killed all the characters that survived Aliens (not that there many mind you) apart from Ripley and made all the effort she went to pointless. Alien 3 was an amazing production mess and started shooting without even a finished script, it's actually amazing that it wasn't an utter disaster in every respect.

Also the entire premise as to why Alien 3 happens at all is a fairly big plot hole that is poorly explained/handwaved, if you can say it is at all.

Sakurazuka posted:From what I remember she dies during the crash landing caused by some facehuggers being on the ship somehow. I don't remember if the whole ship crashes. The cryosleep section is ejected. It's not out of the question that an alien actually hatched out of Hicks before the crash and ejected the pod, or damaged the ship and caused the pod to eject.

The facehuggers loving about causes a fire that gets the cryo section ejected as a life raft yeah, but I'm almost certain the opening sequence shows one emerge from an egg that's impossible to be there. However it's been a while and I could be remembering wrong. E: yup it shows an empty egg for a second https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhT4JbWscwI

The original ending is lighter, which would be appealing to movie execs, but its also not the one most people are familiar with so its kind of a toss up. Tbh I kinda hope Drive 2049 bombs at release but then becomes a cult hit years later when the director's cut comes out.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:I watched Blade Runner for the first time earlier this year and honestly most of it went right over my head It's not very complicated. What about it confused you? Harrison Ford is a blade runner, a guy who hunts down rogue androids called replicants who violate their programmed directives. He's pulled in for a job to hunt four very dangerous replicants that are miners and military droids (iirc). As he does so he begins to fall in love with a woman, who turns out to be a replicant herself. He eventually kills them all except Rutger Hauer, their leader, who plays a violent game of cat-and-mouse with him in a derelict apartment building. Given the opportunity to kill Ford, Hauer saves his life in a demonstration of his mercy and humanity, then dies of natural causes (bc the replicants all have programmed obsolescence dates). Ford experiences a profound change of heart and goes on the run with the replicant he fell for, whose date is unknown, and who may die at any moment. Thematically, it's about transhumanist principles and mortality.

I feel like Harrison Ford's character living for decades after the end of the first film is potentially a pretty big issue. They're either going to establish that he's not a replicant, or he's a special replicant. Either way I feel like there's gonna be a lot of explaining where none was needed.

Don't watch the special editions first time though, Alien doesn't add much apart from a famous deleted scene that contradicts stuff set up in later films and Aliens is just too long though it adds a few interesting scenes.

However it's been a while and I could be remembering wrong. Yeah, but why is it impossible for the egg to be there? One stowaway carrying an egg is all it takes. But yeah, logistically it is kind of tricky. Like I said, it's a retcon I don't have any problem with, because it's a very solid "well what if this happened" way to continue the story, and showing the egg is good storytelling shorthand to start the movie.

Yeah, it's a real shame the Aliens extended cut went with the Lord of the Rings philosophy of "put literally every deleted scene back in the movie". Some of the added scenes are really good, and some are terrible and pointless. It would be nice if there was a good extended cut... Edit: ^ it's not really that deep. Bladerunner, is, in my opinion, a very visceral and emotional movie, not an overly intellectual one. Which version of Bladerunner did you watch? Edit: I guess "not that deep" is the wrong phase. There is emotional depth there, but its not some complicated thing you have to figure out. My advice, if you want to "get it" better, is watch it more times.
