blade runner



Along with a copy of the video game that Tom T. gave me I recently picked up the 5-disc blade runner box set as a present for myself (selfish bastard that I am). There are 3 commentary tracks I'm looking forward to hearing, so far I've just watched the film itself, (and maybe it's just my screen but..), I get the feeling that the digital remastering of special effects is prone to makes those effects look a bit out of place with the rest of the visual 'palate'... for example: Watching some of the fires over Los Angeles in the wide shots in the first scene, or the lights on the hover cars gives me a feeling akin to that one I have had when hearing an album I've enjoyed on tape for years on a CD for the first time. It's not wrong, it's just not right... (see: akira VO redub)

sean young, of course, is still breathtaking
