Blade Runner 2

Well I went and saw Blade Runner Friday night at the Ritz.  I enjoyed it. I don't really remember every detail of the previous releases, so I can't tell you what's different.  All in all it's a good movie. It looked great, and was really loud in the theater as well, which was pretty cool. 

The theater wasn't sold out like I thought it would be.  It was like 80% full.  A whole theater of weird, beret-wearing, Philly inner-city people.  Bunch of sci-fi geeks and wanna-be film critics.  After the movie they were all milling about discussing the use of shadows and camera angles and techniques, and how many seconds longer the scenes were than the previous cuts of the movie. They were all getting off hearing themselves talk.  So much so that they were all trying to suck themselves off between sentences.  I couldn't wait to get away from them.  Can't you just watch a movie and enjoy it without analyzing it and otherwise annoying me? 

**Spoiler alert!**  Don't read anymore if you never saw the movie and are planning on seeing it!  So now I'm going to analyze it (hold on, I'm trying to do myself...).  When Rachael asks him if he's ever given himself the test, the camera lingers on her way too long.  It was distracting.  I'm sure it was intentional, but it felt weird.  The unicorn thing bothers me.  I would have never known that Decker was a replicant if Martin didn't tell me the significance of the origami unicorn.   They show the unicorn early in the movie, and Decker is playing the piano, kinda lost in thought.  Was that a daydream? I was kind of lost. They needed a litle more with the unicorn and I think I would have been able to piece it together.  I always thought that the unicorn meant that Gaff (pimped out Adama) was at his apartment and could have killed Rachael but didn't, and was letting them get away because she was going to die anyway.  Seriously.  I had no idea what it really meant.  I guess I'm not as sharp as I used to be.  Though I did notice all the pictures Decker had on his piano.  They were like the pictures the other replicants had on them.  Maybe once Martin told me about Decker, that I was subconsciously looking for clues?  

Harrison Ford looks so young in that movie. He's 65 now.  65!

I can't think of anything else right now.  It's almost time for me to leave for the day!

It was definitely worth seeing in the theater.  When will you have the chance again?
