I thought i'd wait till the discussion kicked off before posting this, didn't want the 1st thing up there to be negative. However after some people have wondered why it wasn't a success at the box office, I thought i'd chip in.
But yeah, Bladerunner, one of the worst movies i've ever not fully seen, because i've simply never been able to finish it. In fact after several attempts i'm not sure i've even hit halfway, I seem to have been able to block out the memories till it's a grey haze. I know i've tried to watch it a few times, but I can't remember much about it, it is just so dull, so boring, I give up.
I know it's not the sci-fi angle, I like sci-fi, I doubt it's the pacing, I've watched and loved a lot of slow movies. It is instead some unquantifiable...feeling...vibe...something...that turns me off. To be any more clear I'd need to sit down and watch it, or not watch it, again, and really, I don't wanna.
So there, not very helpful, but I thought I'd say it anyway.

Looking back 1982 was a great year for movies.

Strangely, I think I've seen Grease 2 the most often out of those films.

Quick question....did you see the final cut, or one of the original cuts w/the voiceover?

Final cut (and in a cinema - that didn't hurt with some of the shots, let me tell you)
