The Shrine

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I'm still confused by a few things, though. Was Deckard supposed to be a replicant? What about Gaff (his partner)? I swore we had this conversation before, but I forgot. (Actually, looking at the forums on IMDb makes it even <a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/boar ... 5531">more confusing</a>.) Also, I didn't know that Ridley Scott did Legend, which makes sense, because I was commenting on how Vangelis (who did the music for Blade Runner) sounds a lot like Tangerine Dream (who did the music for Legend).

Also, we saw Brazil again. Another mind-bender. You can tell it's a first movie, but it still has that eerie 1984-esque quality to it. Did you know that Gilliam never even read 1984? I find that odd considering the similarities with the movie.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>No and No. Where the hell did you get the idea that Deckard was a replicant?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>There was a lot of talk that Deckard was a replicant. I used to know a site that argued that he was. Gaff definitely wasn't though.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Ridley Scott.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I'll need to watch the DVD again.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Bah, the directors cut is a crock. I had to get a bootleg of the the original at a convention.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I heard this on the radio three years ago.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>(So much for keeping the story inside spoiler tags.) Actually, Ridley says that he was and Harrison says that he wasn't.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>There was one scene where the chick asks Deckard whether he's taking the test or not. That sorta raised my suspections.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>The director's cut is the only one I've seen.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>There was always supposed to be ambiguity about Deckard. The Director's Cut doesn't help much with that. But that's one of the charms of the film, considering what he was fighting for</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Try and watch both the regular and Director's Cut. The regular is much better (you'll know where they got the idea for Under a Killing Moon from), but the DC will make the idea of Deckard even more ambiguous</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I only have the DC too, but the original had the narration, which really gave the film the 50's PI feel, much like Under a Killing Moon (the game HAD to be inspired by the film). It's MUCH better for atmosphere</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I can't find a non-Director's cut. The narration gave so much more information, especially about the mixed language the street people spoke.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Wish me luck trying to find the original Criterian release of 1983's Blade Runner. I have the DC version of Blade Runner. I miss Decard's phylosophical thoughts after he got owned by Rutger Hauer.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>*looks at all the Easter Eggs left for Zeus to nit pick in post above *</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Own the Original on VHS, got it the bargain bin for $.50</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Not only that, but the ending kinda snags you.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, Ridley got rid of them years ago. I can probably get one from a local movie store which has tons of old shit, but they're impossible to find. That's why we need a new DVD with both and they've been talking about that for a while now</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's spelled "Criterion" :-)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Wow...Ridley sucks. This is one of the few times where the DC isn't the best version.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Isn't the original the one where, at the studio's behest, the ending was changed so that Harrison Ford talked over extra footage of the mansion from The Shining?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I think that was the big thing, that the DC is the vision of the film that Ridley had and it took him years to get it out. I just want a double-dip DVD with both versions of it, let me fucking choose which one is best. That's what Speilberg did for ET</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Didn't he butcher ET for the 20th anny version?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>He enchanced some scenes. I wouldn't call that butchering.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, but they were pressured in putting both versions on the DVD....thank God</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>He took out the Speak and Spell.  That's blasphemy!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Wasn't that in there? I'm sure it was. You were high when you saw this movie. So you forgot. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Actually, that was something I heard about. I definately know it was in the original.</div>
