SPOILERS AHEAD

 

 

I've now seen this movie 4 times in theatres and I think it's absolutely excellent.  I have complaints most definitely, but this movie is just great.  The threesome scene, the advertisement scene, even the Elvis scene was really good I think and added to the suspense of attacks being mixed in with bursts of sound, very cool.  The ending fight, the ending snow scene, the prostitutes scene with the creepy music, just damn great.  

 

I don't like K's boss at all she can basically be removed 100%, only good scene involving her was when Luv smashed her hand into the glass.  I think Wallace was okay, I didn't even know it was Jared Leto until after I saw it and read reviews (not very familiar with him but lots of people seem to hate him) I think he did the whole delusional quasi-religious evil villain thing pretty decently.  I don't like the flashbacks that hold your hand and I don't like the "explain the plot indirectly through K's boss repeating things a lot" thing during the autopsy.  Also didn't like Joi saying "1s and 0s" she should have left it as "I have just two".  Not nearly as many beautifully "dirty" and atmospheric street scenes as original, and in general the visuals are not nearly as appealing as the original.  But overlooking this and looking at this as an independent movie instead of a sequel this can be ignored

 

Advertisement scene is the best scene in the movie by far, and this is why Joi is essential.  Mandatory, the main theme of the entire movie

 

9/10

It wasn't obvious how K chose where he would go next in his investigation - he simply appeared in the next scene - and Luv was on his tail, because that's how this works... so a minus score for editing or script laziness I guess.

What part of the movie is this about?

Maybe I missed some seconds, because I was explaining many things to my younger sister who didn't watch the first Blade Runner, so I might have been too quick to write that... but at some points it wasn't clear to me how K got his clues about where to go next (like going to the LA landfill, finding Deckard)... and planting the tracking device thing was a bit lazy (in terms of writing) in my opinion, but ok.

The movie and art in it is fucking great. I think I'm going to go watch it again... alone this time. Empty theater, and smoking a marryjane while watching it would be a blast (in a perfect world) :)

 

edit: yeah, I definitely need to watch it again... scenes were absolutely beautiful

K knew to go to the landfill because he was going to the orphanage listed on the birth/death record of Rachel's child that he found perusing that machine along with Joi

 

K knew to go to Las Vegas because the guy who examined his wood horse told him it was contaminated with radiation from a dirty bomb, and it was then implied that only one location had that type of radiation, then he went to Las Vegas so presumably he knew a bomb went off there at some point

Oh, I remember now! Silly me. Information overload for me I guess. Thanks for clearing that up. Still going to watch it again tho :)

An obviously gay writer tries to force his own sexual agenda onto a movie. I fucking hate people like this.

 

Wow, Blade Runner 2049 Was Unbelievably Boring

 

by Christopher Frizzelle

 

What was with that dialogue? Robin Wright saying, "This breaks the world"? Other examples I can't remember now because I died of boredom? Why do producers spend millions on stars and special effects and forget to hire writers?

 

As for that image above from Blade Runner 2049: Moments later, that hologram stands up to reveal she's topless. Her phantom-huge digital breasts sway around in the air for Ryan Gosling to watch. There's also a scene that involves the humungous fallen statues of naked women with huge breasts, put there so the camera can linger on the stone nipples. And there's a scene where a fully naked woman, covered in clear goo, is extruded from the transparent sleeve of whatever it is that makes replicants.

 
Why Gosling's character—who is a replicant—would have sexual feelings at all makes no sense and is never explained. The tits in the wind are not for the replicant looking at them. They're not for moving the story along. They're for the straight guys in the audience.
 
Ryan Gosling also has a digital girlfriend or two throughout the 19-hour movie. Why the filmmakers would combine, in one sex scene, a rip-off of Her with a rip-off from Ghost is likewise never explained.
 
Why a gay person who hasn't even seen the first Blade Runner would spend three hours of a Sunday watching Blade Runner 2049 at Cinerama is hard to recall after the fact. The only reason that comes to mind: Ryan Gosling. Alas, he doesn't undergo the kind of objectification the women do, even though he has the insides of an iPhone. He is not objectified like the women are, even though he's literally an object. There's a scene where he's showering and the camera shows the top of his head and shoulders, like a Head & Shoulders commercial. Not fair! Meanwhile, the bouncing, dancing, puckered, high-heeled, phantom-large women everywhere else (including huge ballerinas dancing through the street) are just to establish that... straight guys made the movie? That nothing will have changed by 2049, women-in-Hollywood-wise? That there are no gay people in the future?

And if it did feature gay characters this dude would have complained about the pandering. Some people just live to complain.
