Blade Runner

Breaking news.

We just got screeners for Blade Runner.

Oh, so this.

Did

But there are fewer movies where the third film nailed it and stuck the landing.

In fact, I'm trying to think of one.

Blade Runner.

The last

I was writing a lot about sci-fi sort of stuff and like feelings that occurred during...

So in the song Hazy, the lyrics for that are primarily about Blade Runner.

Cool.

The

called...

That's a good point.

It doesn't need to be called Blade Runner.

Anyway, sorry.

Yeah, it's odd.

Because to bring it up, Blade Runner, which is, of course, a big one, and I don't just say it because this director's dad is Ridley Scott, but there's so much in common here.

One of the first things we get of Blade Runner is the test to see if they're a replicant.

And in that, it's very cold and motionless, and the questions are almost nonsensical.

And you see the replicant get more and more emotional and then eventually snap and kill the guy.

because there's no other justifiable reason Morgan would flip.

She has to snap, and then she has to be fought against, and then that gives her justification for herself to fight against the people who care about her.

So in Blade Runner, you can have the more stoic, cold thing, and the character be uncaring, or even Tyrell in Blade Runner, where Roy Batty's begging for life, and Tyrell... very logically, but very emotionless, is telling him, no, you are going to die, and there's nothing I will do about that, while presenting it as nothing I can do about that.

And over at least Vincent Price's exterior shot is the Ennis House in LA, which was built in 1925.

And it's used in a number of films, including The Big Sleep, Blade Runner, Rush Hour, and Mulholland Drive.

And then the interior is largely shown in sound stages.

And I feel like you can tell.

Yeah.

And it's just, if not Blade Runner, it's Ridley Scott's like best film for me.

Yeah.

It's perfect and it works so well within the constraints it's had.

Like, we talked about Tron, you know, like, that.

And, like, even, like, Blade Runner.

Kind of, like, predicting where we are now with AI and stuff.

And just...

Yeah.

And then there's the other side that was like New Order and, you know, watching Blade Runner over and over again and all the kind of synthesizer stuff.

I mean, and The Cure to a certain extent with that as well, like hearing synthesizers and arrangements with that stuff.

And we had like Severed Heads.

Home? Yes.

In the same way that J.F. Sebastian's apartment in Blade Runner is a home.

Right.

Right.
