What MOVIE(s) have you been....seeing? watching?

Definitely watching the new Blade Runner on a big screen. Spent so much time criticizing it, I might as well watch it.
And, honestly, my attitude shifted from "this is a very dumb idea" to "what the hell, it might work".

In high school, Blade Runner was a great test to determine if I would be really interested in a girl. If they got bored with it and wanted to make out, that meant a no.

On our third date, I talked a woman into coming back to my place to watch the Director's Cut. I was excited because I tended to get luckier by the third date back then. Sadly, she really just wanted to watch Blade Runner and then go home afterwards. I blame the music.

Reminds me...probably the hottest thing a girl ever said to me in high school was "my parents are out of town, want to come over and watch Videodrome?"

Actually...the first time I ever made out with a girl was during Blade Runner...and she did, in fact, turn out to be a NO.

I will go on record saying I have never gotten any action during Blade Runner.

No kidding. That snooze fest has a lower BJ factor than Schindlers List

I thought you were in the market for films with a higher Bear factor.

"Which is not something I’m going to explain, at least as far as it relates to the story. The studio has been unusually insistent in its pleas to critics not to reveal plot points. That’s fair enough, but it’s also evidence of how imaginatively impoverished big-budget movies have become. Like any great movie, Mr. Scott’s “Blade Runner” cannot be spoiled. It repays repeated viewing because its mysteries are too deep to be solved and don’t depend on the sequence of events. Mr. Villeneuve’s film, by contrast, is a carefully engineered narrative puzzle, and its power dissipates as the pieces snap into place. As sumptuous and surprising as it is from one scene to the next, it lacks the creative excess, the intriguing opacity and the haunting residue of its predecessor."

Sure, but that's an odd dig at a film. Consider Psycho.

My guess is that the sequel strips away even more of the ambiguity and mystery from the original Bladerunner than even Ridley Scott attempted during various promotional interviews over the years, and, like the Alien franchise, we find things out that don't really enrich the story. I'm still going to see it at the Imax on $5.00 Tuesday.

I don't think Harrison Ford likes Ryan Gosling much. But I don't think he routinely likes his co-stars much unless they're young drugged out girls he's focking.

If this thing exposes Harrison's character as a replicant, i'm really worried it'll damage the original.

The actor tells GQ magazine in its January issue that while filming a fight scene for the upcoming Blade Runner sequel, Blade Runner 2049, Harrison Ford accidentally punched him in the face.

Admits Gosling, 36, “It was kind of, you know, a rite of passage.”

“We were just doing a fight scene and, you know, it just happened,” explains Gosling. “But what was funny was, when it was over, they brought ice for my face, and Harrison pushed me out of the way and stuck his fist in the ice.”

The way he's talking about Ryan Gosling in interviews is really similar to how he talked about Greg Kinnear when they were in Sabrina together.

anyway who cares. he's allowed to be an ass

George Foreman just challenged Steven Segal to some sort of fight. Foreman will be boxing and he said Segal can fight however he likes as long as there are no weapons.

Anyway, I had to check IMDB to be sure, but I've never seen a Steven Segal movie. I've seen previews, but none of them looked good enough to see in the theater and I never got around to watching them as rentals, either. One time I was on a date, and the woman invited me back to her place to watch Under Siege, but we ended up not watching it because bow-chicka-wow-wow.

I don't follow
