A master stroke of film-making...

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2006)

A film that is ripped off, revered and reviled, and finally...
R E B O R N.
This is indeed, my favorite film of all time. I have seen it several times,and my children are named after Rachael...(although her mom wanted it shortened, so we agreed on Rai...) and my son's name is Deckard. Cool,huh?
I have heard enough trivia on ALIEN, my second fave film, but it always bugged me when Ridley when mention Bladerunner in his other commentaries and interviews, etc. I have yet to track down some of this supplemental footage, but I am hoping these new DVD releases will suffice.
I wish there was an intelligent sequel that could be made. Harrison Ford is older now, and Ridley is more agreeable with actors. In fact, I would much rather see a sequel to Bladerunner more than want to see (yawn) another Indiana Jones film.
I seriously doubt Harrison would do it, unless a killer script was written. And if he was a replicant, did he survive?
Imagine it, a new story set, with Ridley's vision, and perhaps ILM doing the effects. If only George Lucas and Ridley would chat together.
Anyway, I think this is a great film, with flaws in place, and I love it. I am influenced as a filmmaker myself, yet I cannot touch the craft they placed on screen in the eighties.
Who's with me?
