What did you do that for?

Superb. Bladerunner is constantly hovering around my personal 'all time favourite' list, and considering how fickle I am, that's pretty good going. I saw the film relatively late, in 1989. I was fifteen. I thought it was an amazing film, even if I didn't really understand it on anything other than a superficial level.

I think it was '93 that I saw the director's cut, and it was strange not hearing the voiceover narrative, as I'd got so used to it. However it works ever so well, and I can understand Scott's reluctance to spoon-feed the audience (which the voiceover does, a little).

Yes it's slow-paced, and there isn't actually that much talking, but all the dialogue is perfect and this measured approach actually allows you to take in the films staggering beauty.

Top marks.

'Dangerous Days' is a wonderful companion to this. Watching it makes your heart swell.
