Blade Runner

Lol lovely bait

because there were talented people in charge of the aesthetics so that even scotts complete inability to tell a story could not ruin it

Scott didn't have any of that. Other talented people made 99% of the aesthetics, costumes, environments, even dialogue. Harrison and Ridley didn't get along at all due to the crap Ridley kept wanting Ford to do. And as usual, Ridley had to be constrained from making terrible decisions. After the movie finally became successful and beloved, Ridley went back, chopped it up, removed good and added bad scenes to make the story completely different all just because he loves pointless idiotic nonsensical twists.

Sea beans

I seent food you people wouldn't believe. Chili and sea beans off the shore of Coasta Rica.

This is blatantly untrue and you just need to watch any documentary on the movie to know that Scott was making all the visual decisions, to the point where the crew members were calling him a dictator.

Visuall auditory and atmospheric kino. To this day I've never seen film sets that feel more real and palpable, as if you could step right into them, despite a setting that doesn't exist IRL. The film just taps into some kind of mood about life we all feel from time to time

how is BR inspirational?
it is an extremely grim and sad movie.

the rain.

what a disgusting japanese woman though.

Nah, I did watch the documentaries. He made big decisions like having it pitch dark, steamy and rainy so you wouldn't see how shitty everything actually was and how small their sets actually were. But otherwise, it was the team making things and sure Ridley approved it once they were done

It was not conscious, like this scene many of its moment were utterly accidental:

Like, they were forced as they filmed to cut down on effects, go for darker alleys, and so on, which resulted in that aesthetic.

It's lighting out of the bottle.

Very true. I'm glad it was made and worked out, but they seem to have taken the wrong lessons from it. None of the follow-on stuff has been as good. And Blade Runners have been turned from detectives in super heroes

What about 2049?

I watch negronis get ordered two at a time.

An attempt at copying the atmosphere of the original.

Breddi goot

good in it's own way
I didn't like it upon first viewing, probably because I was comparing it too much to the original.
But upon many many rewatchings, I have come to appreciate it. There is something very relatable about K. In a way I couldn't relate to Decker...

Very true, in a way, I think I'd say K is literally me...

It's basically Prometheus if you think about it.

Replicants travel to Earth to meet their maker.

Ask for life extension

Kill maker

people who watched it more than once and actually thought about the themes and setting realised it has a lot of resonance with the human condition.
i guess you could say its a sort of empathy test for humans.
but thats probaly too 'reddit' these days.
i also found it boring with nice visuals and design when i first saw it.
i guess it helps to see it originally, as there really wansnt anything else like it for ten years

Yep, Ridley remade his same story but jumbled it around. This time the creator kills his creation instead. Ridley's a sneaky fuck, gotta keep an eye on him

more realistic to our current future

it has a lot of resonance with the human condition. i guess you could say its a sort of empathy test for humans.

That's exactly it. And also exactly why Deckard needs to be a human for the story to work. He realizes he took for granted his own life, has no love for existance, was just drinking himself to oblivion, and waiting to die. Seeing the replicant's struggles rekindled his desire to experience life to its fullest. And the audience was supposed to take that away as well.

Because it gave us hope that the future would be cutting edge; something that would bedazzle our expectations and fuse technology with greater standards of living and freedom of expression.

Fuck this quantum scenario we're in. 9/11 disrupted us from our path of trajectory. The last 23 years have eroded our economic foundations, our societal strength as a people, and creativity is dead. DEI fucking ruined the entertainment industry as well as jobs in general.

The Internet was the biggest fucking mistake. I only go online to download or stream movies/shows, get books or research stuff/learn DIY. I was an okay math student in high school and undergrad, but now that I'm earning another degree, I can actually do higher level Calc II and math thanks to rewatching multiple Youtube tutorials. We didn't have this back then, else I probably would've done even better back then. I learned how to do mechanic work (never had auto shop in school) thanks to how-to-guides that showed me step by step.

What do most people use the Internet? Fucking Onlyfans, Patreon and other shit to fleece cucks out of their money. Online porn. Influencers.

Do you guys remember almost 10 years ago when they had Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd appear as Doc and Marty in October 2015? They showed a smartphone to Doc and he thought it was great that it was a portable computer, phone, camera, etc. but normies just used it for selfies and other bullshit.

Give me the new frontier that the 1980's envisioned. The cyberpunk of Blade Runner, the flying cars of Back to the Future Part 2. When we weren't submerged by chinks and jeets and muzzies. When white people were at the helm and weren't brainwashed into hating our ancestors and ourselves. And we didn't expose every facet of our lives to billions of strangers online.

The Internet was the biggest fucking mistake

It was ok until everyone had a computer in their pocket, this was the beginning of the end.

It really was. When I first got onto the Internet in 2000 as an 8 year old kid, it was the most amazing thing ever. 2000 to 2009 was peak comfiness. When the Internet was the Wild West, where Myspace hosted music and actual full episodes of TV shows and even movies. There were so many streaming platforms where I watched media. And social networking didn't dominate everybody's lives and smartphones weren't that advanced even in 2009.

I'm fucking glad I experienced 1997 (the earliest I can remember) to 2010 as a kid. I went to college from 2010 to 2014 so we had woke bullshit, but I'll glad take that over today's shittiness.

it was fine when it was just nerdy men using the internet, as the original intention was.
when women and minorities got their hands on it, all hell broke loose.

The world of Blade Runner if full of Asians and other non-whites. It's basically a sci-fi version of the shitty 1970s-1980s American cities.

Asians

You mean East Asians. Specifically Japanese, South Koreans, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Singaporeans, Macauese. Not mainland Chinese who are Commies. And SE Asians like Vietnamese, Thais, etc. don't count.

And I'd gladly take shitty 1970s-1980's US cities over today's crapsack.

I agree. I regret not utilizing the Internet more for my studies as an undergrad but educational tutorials only started to really pop up in the early 2010s while I was too busy partying and having fun as a young undergrad. It wasn't until 2012-2014 that there were actual good learning resources with interactive tools and lectures where you can pause, rewind, etc. until you finally understood what they were talking about. I fucking love Udemy, Linkedin, and Coursera. No fucking excuse for modern kids today to not learn anything properly.

Not all at once, not all the time.

There's that great graph that shows how the Internet was largely Europeans, North Americans, Oceanians, Japanese, and South Koreans. Now it's dominated by chinks and jeets.

Fucking hell...

And of course women would use the Internet to whore themselves out instead of actually studying or working.
