Blade Runner

Blade Runner

After grabbing an eggnog latte from Newport's Starbucks cafe I settled down to watch the greatest film ever made* 

The young lad who served me asked what I was watching. 'Blade Runner? Never heard of that one..' What?

What is it with the kids these days..

Any way I settled down to a 3/4 full cinema (I expected it to sell out as with Cardiff but this was fine..)

I'm not gonna bother with a synopsis as this film is 32 years old (32?!!?!) and it's still as poinient as ever..

It's a 5 star film, I don't need to say any more. I have it on VHS, Region 1 DVD, Region 2 DVD, Blue RAY, Digital copy and even HDDVD..!?

I noticed a few dialogue changes for the special addition.. Most notably 'I want more life Father.' (instead of fucker).

Thinking back to when I first saw this film with my dad, I remember my initial impressions weren't too favourable.. The Star Wars trilogy were THE films to see at that time and watching a miserable Han Solo chasing bad guys around a damp and dark city and shooting women in the back didn't appeal to a 14 year old, spotty teenager... As time progressed and I learned to understand what the hell was going on it evolved into the masterpiece it now is.. I'm hoping the same will happen to Interstellar... 

Still the best film ever. *****

*in my opinion..
