patriarchy sucks
Blade Runner has always coasted on amazing visual and sound design. It's a slowly paced mess with a boring protagonist but it sure is pretty. You can get away with a lot when your visuals and soundtrack are iconic and genre-defining.

David in Alien Covenant is dumb as hell. He spent all that time trying to engineer a xenomorph when the blue man group figured out the black goo always leads to xenomorphs no matter what.

They made murals of xenomorphs in the chamber holding the black goo.

loving David. Good job. You basically bio-engineered a billion year old species that's already been discovered. Idiot.

Maybe they thought going for a forced smarmy way of saying it like a younger Indie would be more appealing.

It's insane that some people in this thread couldn't even remember if replicants were robots or clones.

Yeah, they could have been robots, and instead of checking their pulse or breathing, Deckard just sat around asking them about their childhood memories for no loving reason.

It would be interesting if the engineers reproduce by dumping black goo on a planet and in millions of years it ether leads to perfect people (engineers) or to xenomorphs and that's why they hated us, because we're flawed, headed in the wrong direction

Does anyone remember the movie about a replicant detective whose job was to find other replicants? The main guy, I think, looked like Monk. It was a murder mystery, too.

I'm serious, actually. The Blade Runner talk has reminded me of that film. There was some plot point about maths and/or names. And the setting, although futuristic, mostly looked like 2000s. I remember it very vaguely, but it's definitely its own movie.

My favorite part is when he gets fired from the cab company and it turns out that guy that owns the cab company is the antagonist for the whole film. And the other bit where the blue lady sings.

No. It wasn't a schlocky action movie. There was at least an attempt at some artsy stuff. Some dream sequences, maybe?

No. Anime is bad.

It looks similar, but still not it. There was definitely something about replicants who expire. And the main guy was older. He was probably about to expire, too.

Nah, I've just watched the trailer and it's definitely it. Turns out the whole expriation business was about his visa, not about his being a clone, but cloning is also plot-relevant. And there are dreams and stuff.
