Blade Runner: The Final Cut

I hate writing about movies like this, that so many people have already seen and have opinions on. I always feel like people expect certain things to be said, you know? I don't really want to just restate everything we already know about today's movie, though. I watched Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott in 1982. I actually have never seen the theatrical version with the Harrison Ford narration. I saw the rushed director's cut, and then The Final Cut, when it made it's way through theaters in my area. I finally bought it on Blu-ray a week or so ago, and it was great watching it like that.

I always think about seeing Blade Runner in the theater whenever I watch it. It was such a fun experience, to see the film finally on the big screen, my friend, a Blade Runner super fan, whispering little tidbits of information into my ear the whole time. It was really a good night, and I can't help but remember it whenever I watch the film. Watching it tonight was nice, but nowhere near as cool looking or fun. It's a great movie, though, no matter how you see it (er, as long as it's the good version)
