Just saw blade runner 2049. I was somewhat hesitant to do so given the last two movies with ridley Scott's name on them, Prometheus and covenant, were utter shitastrophres that were unfit to mention in context of his other classic, Alien.

Two people I respect saw it and said it was worth watching so I did.

OK, maybe ridley Scott had a brief flash of talent return or the writers and director simply hired actors to play them in the meetings while ignoring his input  utterly.

In any event bladerunner 2049 was a worthy sequel to bladerunner. Not perfect and not as good as the original but a decent sequel.
Certainly not a bucket of fuckup like Prometheus and covenant were.

What's with the thread title? Is it a gag?

I liked it. It didn't have a Philip k.dick short story as a back bone, and it suffered for that.  But the direction, acting, atmosphere lighting mood and theams were on.

Squidward is trying to be all edgy and shit.

Telling a mod not to touch one thread is a sure way not to draw the attention of the mod.

I saw the movie it's a good and a decent sequel. Except as usually when denis villeneuve is not reined in he just makes a movie too long. Unnecesarily long imo. The pacing was so slow it made a glacier moving seem like warp speed. Keeping the camera overly long on certain shots of places. With a better director or more if they had at least made some editing to the movie it would have been great. What I saw should have been a Blu-Ray final cut edition. Cue the "you want fast movies, don't understand what the director was trying to achieve keep to watching that JJ Abrahams crap" response.

Cute.

I will let the thread stay since it is actually on topic and probably of interest to people. Schwartzwald, please don't antagonize the mods or try to address unrelated grievances in the thread titles. If you have issues with how I am modding threads, the site, or another poster, use the report button or take it to the help desk.

Man, when I saw you were the last poster in this thread, contrastign with the title, I wanted it locked on general principle (that principle being ironic humor, of course). I never get what I want.

I actually liked Prometheus. Took things in a completely new direction, but the fanbois of the xenomorph and
the sequel Aliens couldn't stop whining.

This blade runner sequel was OK. I'm not much of a Ryan Gosling fan and maybe that factored into it.

The RPGnet SJW take on it is entertaining as hell tho.

Link?

Yeah I could see the sjw.net crowd bitching about how women were portrayed. The main female character is finally strong but she's an evil bitch!  You're saying a woman has to be evil to be strong! The police Chief didn't even fight back! You're portraying women as weak! Another major female character is a whore! You're portraying women as sex objects! The tough woman character was beaten by a man! You're saying women can't beat men!

I was kinda snickering a little in the theater. I was wondering how many people would get redtexted and banned on sjw.net for not agreeing blade runner 2049 was the most sexist misogynistic movie ever made. But then the BHM bomb was dropped so someone might get to express an honest opinion on the movie without getting the banhammer.

This isn't the pundit subforum or rpg.net. Stop taking that stuff into threads on the regular forums.

What's the gist of it, if I may ask? That's allot to plow through.

If you guys want to talk about that, go there and do so. This is the very last time I am going to tell anyone on this thread to stop bringing these kinds of political and social issues into the Media Forum or the Main RPG forum.

I'm sorry, I thought it was about the movie itself.
