 | Bladerunner Rant!! |
I know It's not Star Wars, however one of my other fav's is the movie bladerunner. I think it was a great movie. I Just watched it again last night on IFC and have this to say...
DECKER is not a replicant!!!! For all those of you brainiacs who think he is, your all Isane. I know I know..."Ridley Scott recently said" Blah blah blah, Ridley Scott is just trying to seem hip, there is no way that this guy is a replicant.
First, the famous "The Origami Unicorn" argument, wow you have me, but what about the Origami chicken??? I didn't see that in a dream....how about the well endowed match stick guy....was I asleep during that sequence??
"Pictures....what about the pictures!!" WHAT ABOUT THEM!!! Bryant had pictures all over his desk, My wife has pictures should I go blast her??
Listen people, The man is not a replicant, if he is, he most be a pathetically failed experiment. Roy and his crew, their plans generally work, he gets into see Tyrell, they get into the city and they get the information they need from Sabastian and the Eye Guy. Decker fails at everything, he's disguise at Daffy (or taffy) Lewis's is seen through, he is almost killed but saved because other people come into the room, he misses the first two shot's at Zhora and finaly manages to hit her. He is jumped by Leon and almost killed and is only saved by Rachel (Yet another replicant that despite implanted memories can hit a guy square in the head at 50 ft). He doesn't even go to J.F. Sabastians because of a great feat of intellect, he is told to go there by Bryant because the body was ID'd at Tyrell's after Roy killed them both. His butt is kicked by Priss, only saved because she was going for a flourish, and Roy was just playing with the guy...and Dies of old age. Come on people....And don't even give me the "more human then human" argument because Tyrell also says "commerce is our goal" and who is going to by the Retarded Cop model!!!
Lets see, you can have the super cool model, or the model that lives in a trashy apartment (see scene when he picks up rachels photo) that drinks and gets his tail kicked. Hmmmmm I'm thinking not many are lining up for the latter.
And before you burst into a quasi religious Ridley Scott rant, consider this, When Bryant is first talking to Decker about the Replicants he talks about how 6 skin jobs blasted there way off the off world colonies "3 males, 3 females" he says 1 got fried trying to break into the Tyrell Corporation...That leaves 5 in my book, that's right 5, but there are only 4, Roy, Leon, Priss and Zhora. Don't even suggest that Decker is the 5th, I think Roy would remember him.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get so peeved at this.
Venting Complete.....
