Oh I meant to ask, does anyone have a preference on which Blade Runner cut is best?

Yeah but, is it Inception good? Inception has it beat in terms of excitement-factor, practical effects, tension and an emotionally satisfying ending. But this one is a little smarter, darker in tone and has the better performances across the board So yes, it is that good. Overall. They both are extremely thought provoking, emotionaly draining, infinitley rewatchable epics. And they both left me with a similar feeling when I left the theater, like few other movies ever could

They got it away from Ridley, who is 70 and lost his touch.

My hype level regarding Blade Runner has gone from about a 6.5 to about a 9.5 in the past week or so, but I gotta say, I still have significant trouble with the whole Gosling thing. The dude is just terrible. He has no human emotions. He talks funny. He won't open his mouth all the way when he speaks. He doesn't emote or gesture. That movie Drive? That's not acting. That's just him. Like an autistic zombie with great hair. Beyond the Pines, Only God Forgives, Drive, Blade Runner, he's the exact same person. Is your face paralyzed, sir?

I legitimately laughed out loud at "he has no human emotions". I mean, I was never able to tune it in exactly, but that's it. No human emotion whatsoever despite me liking most of his movies. DiCaprio is a fantastic actor but sorry, I became bored of him, dude seems to play the same guy in every movie, just in different roles. I'm definitely not trying to compare the careers of Gosling and DiCaprio, just pointing out similarities that end up with me being bored.

Blade Runner: 9.25 of 10.
Yeah, it's fucking glorious. The sound, man. The sound. Unreal. The sound mixing and editing. Phenomenal. Haunting. Atmospheric. A huge part of the film.
The lighting and cinematography. Absolutely phenomenal. The color pallet. The shadow and light. The iconic visuals blending together. Trance educing.
The story. Very well done. Take an existing concept and push it, make it something new and interesting without losing fidelity to the core concept. Beautifully written. Much more story driven where the original was more character driven, but it works.
Shocking . . . shocking . . . that I did not care for Jared Letto's character at all. Over acted, unbelievable, probably the weakest link in the film. Needed more subtlety and realism from him.

I think the worst actor for being the same character is Will Smith. Outside of a few roles like in that golf movie and zombie movie (don't care enough to look up the names) he is the same guy. Men In Black, Bad Boys, Independence Day, Suicide Squad etc.- same smartass character.
I like him because I like the shtick but he is the same guy... All the time.

For me it's always been Bruce Willis, as far being one thing all the time. But he's never been considered a top tier actor, which Smith has flirted with I guess someone considered a top actor, who I find pretty one-note would be Colin Firth. He's good at what he does, but there isn't much range there

Can't speak for Baph, but I thought he was very good This is the sort of role he's perfect for. Whatever complaints people have about him, the ways you might think he always is. It works well in this role. Though he actually does have some scenes where he has to get really emotional and he did a good job with that too. Or it may just seem that way, because I'm not used to seeing that from him Ford too. He honestly broke my damn heart in one scene, with how emotional he got. It was like you could see 30 years of loss and remorse on his face. Pretty remarkable performance from him

Gosling is still shit, but it works here, and that's all I can say without getting into potential spoilers. His girlfriend is phenomenal, Ford and Batista are even better, and wish both had more screen time.

Thor: RagnarockComic book movie fatigue is a very real thing. At least for me it is. I don't go to theater to see them all. Hell I don't don't even see them all anymore, period. But this one had potential. It looked very unique, very comedic, very different from the first couple Thor movies. Which I did not like either of. And..............it was fucking fantastic!!! Honestly it's the funniest comic book movie ever. Even more so than Guardians of the Galaxy. It was friggin top to bottom hilarious. Hemsworth actually has excellent comedic timing. Jeff Goldbloom was in his wheelhouse. So perfect for the roll he had. The director voiced this big CGI character and holy shit, he was tremendous. Hulk was awesome. He had pretty much been the Hulk since he flew off in Age of Ultron. And developed the speech and thought level of a 4-5 year old brat. Very funny exchanges between he and Thor. Loki was good. Cate Blanchette wasvery good. I mean, even though I didn't love every scene with her character, because it took away from more Thor/Hulk stuff, she was excellent, because she's frigin Cate Blanchette, the best actress on the planet, IMO Action-wise, this was great stuff. Very over the top, but appropriately so. I mean it's Thor and the Hulk and the Goddess of death. It was some of the coolest set piece action scenes Marvel has done. Thor's powers have never been so well displayed. More than just the hammer. He's the god of thunder for crying out loud, and this movie finally made that a thing. Between the action and the laughs I had such a great time seeing this in theater. Had me grinning like a idiot, the whole time Oh and my theater now has a starbucks in it. So I got to watch this while sipping a caramel machiatto. So I was one happy son of a bitch. Go see this one and just be happier for it.... 9 / 10

I liked the new spiderman but yeah that fucker is annoying. I think it works well and I like how closely they have tied him in with Stark.
Can't wait to see Bladerunner, was considering going to theatre for it. Glad to hear it looks as good as I was hoping it would. The trailers are phenomenal.
Pat givING Thor that good of a review may make me consider seeing that in the theatre too. For me theatre is for Star Wars and that's usually about it.
Sidebar: Anyone else think that in a good amount of trailers, that they give away too much of the movie?

Sidebar: Anyone else think that in a good amount of trailers, that they give away too much of the movie? Been a recurring issue as of late, to try to get people hooked, not realizing that they just packed the best of into it. Irritates me the same way the "on the next episode" commercials do. What the fuck has happened to suspense, and discovery and interest in the unknown. This would be a good list, best movie trailers ever.

Sidebar: Anyone else think that in a good amount of trailers, that they give away too much of the movie? Some of them, absolutely I like ones that are able to portray a movie's tone and give you a sense of wonder about it, while not giving you much of a clue on what it's even about, or how things could possibly go. Some of the better done trailers are works-of-art, all their own and can even be better than the movies they're promoting. Some are just lazy ass cut-and-paste, derivative dog shit. Using the same overly dramatic, swelling music and typical trailer formula with an endless stream of hard stops and starts, and a moment where someone dramatically says in a loud whisper, "......oh my god" And others just show you way too damn much and ruin things that would have been so much more impactful if you didn't know they were coming. Also bad trailers can ruin things that they don't show you as well. By that I mean, let's say you see someone in peril and you think they might be in serious trouble....except.....you know they make it out of this scene, because the trailer showed them doing something you hadn't seen happen in the movie yet. Or someone is in a certain location and you're like, "ah, well I know this other person is about to show up, because the trailer showed them in this same place." Good news is the worst trailers are often connected to the shittier movies. For the most part anyway

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri has been getting AMAZING reviews. I was at TIFF in September and it (surprisingly) won the audience choice award.
Honestly, I will see anything Martin McDonagh does.

Let's see....what have I seen lately?
Thor: Ragnarok - Funniest superhero movie yet. Really enjoyable. That is exactly how they need to treat Thor, traditionally the most serious and humourless Marvel character. 8.5/10
The Shape of Water - If you like GDT, you will love this movie. If you don't, you probably won't. It's basically his version of a Beauty & the Beast story. Everyone you expect to be awesome in it is awesome: Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Octavia Spencer. 8/10
Jigsaw - This wasn't necessary. It's another Saw movie. Nothing more, nothing less. They certainly aren't reinventing the wheel. 5/10
The Killing of Sacred Deer - This is the one that has stayed with me and I've been thinking about it even days after seeing it. Colin Farrell is awesome, the movie is weird as shit. It is from the same guy who made 'The Lobster'. 'Killing' was equally as bleak and moody but in a much different way. ??/10

The fact that the Saw franchise is only 13 years old and already has 8 movies tells you all you need to know about how formulaic, lazy, and cynical the Hollywood machine has become in the modern era. That's a Saw movie every 18 months for well over a decade, and before the slow down after Saw 6, they were actually averaging a film every 12 months. That's . . . a lot.

I thought the first one was great, it wasn't just about how many gruesome deaths they could fit into a single movie but more a psychological evaluation of choice and consequence, physical limits, the humnan condition etc.
Every one after that was basically fast and the furious with pain inflicting objects.

Okay so I saw Thor Ragnarok on Saturday and... funniest superhero movie ever? I liked it okay, but I felt like much of the comedy was forced. It was WAY better than The Dark World, which I thought was probably among the worst MCU movies out there.
As far as humour goes I'd take Deadpool any day of the week over this. I still like GOTG better too. Again, not a bad movie but I just didn't find it nearly as funny as everyone else did apparently.
