Star Wars 7 shit talk

Recently watched the Bladerunner making of, and how they created the long view of the city. Utterly mind blowing.

Same here--all those bits of photo-etched metal, and a Millennium Falcon model stuck in sideways to be a building, and millions of little greebly bits for texture. Lovely. I wish I had a job doing that.

i'm cool with all buildings being google sketchup models as long as jim henson productions makes all monsters out of felt.

that Blade Runner doc is like one long eulogy for the art of practical effects

Did Kael hate "Blade Runner"? What an old crab.

I know it blew my mind years ago when I learned that it was not the ships flying fast but the camera moving past the models.

Guys... the Moffship thing let me to this:

Trioculus was a three-eyed mutant warlord of the Galactic Empire who declared himself Emperor a year after the Battle of Endor. As a figurehead of the Central Committee of Grand Moffs, led by his mentor Bertroff Hissa, Trioculus took control of the remnants of the Empire in opposition to Ysanne Isard.

The self-proclaimed son of Palpatine, Trioculus was in actuality a pretender to the throne, usurping the role of Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops. Spurred on by a prophecy of Rajah Ubooki, the false Kadann, he sought the glove of Darth Vader to establish his legitimacy. Trioculus's pursuit of the Jedi Prince Ken and his infatuation with Leia Organa pitted him against rival Zorba Desilijic Tiure, and led to him being taken captive by the Hutt and frozen in carbonite. Trioculus was eventually betrayed by Kadann, who sought the Imperial throne himself, and in the end was assassinated by a New Republic droid.

My brain just starts shutting down when there are so many linked things I've never heard of. And then I start clicking links...

I don't know but Blade Runner sucks. I understand its reputation: art direction, atmosphere, etc. The story and acting are crap.

Yep. I've always wished that movie was more engaging, because I love everything about its looks.

where does blade runner rank on acting/story on the PKD adaptations?

Gotta be #1 on both counts, but I'm a blade runner stan

i'm just picturing schwarzenegger and ford swapping PKD roles.

"You've been voight-kampfed!"

I've watched Blade Runner at least five times now and can't remember a thing about it, I just stop caring halfway through or something.

no actor sounds cool saying "Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me - cold fish. "

sometimes I think it'd help if actors in movies stopped and asked, "Hey if we were posting this conversation to an ilx messageboard thread right now, would we be FP'd?"

Shaking my head in disbelief at "Blade Runner sucks." It's a beaten down soulless future LA, guys!! And Rutger Hauer is excellent. Crazy talk.

and that's different from the present LA how?

"cool future distopia movie. is it the first one ever?"

I wasn't much into blade runner

*places origami unicorn in thread and leaves*

looking forward to the reboot/crossover with total recall.

arnold would have lent more weight to the 'deckard was a robot' thing

Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops
Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops
Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops
Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops

You have three eyes son, we have to call you Triclops.

fuuuuuuuck. it's like a biclops but with 3 eyes -> so triclops!

Having never been to present LA I couldn't tell you. But do they limit how many fish heads you can order in present LA?

Gonna go watch "Dressed To Kill". First time. Kael liked it!

like getting a box of Cracker Jack that is all prizes

ooh that's good.

couldn't keep up with this thread for a couple of days, just catching up now...
holy christ if it was nerdy before, is it ever gummed up now

i love u guys srsly

the full sentence is essential, i hope this is considered a possible subplot for episode 8 or so. The self-proclaimed son of Palpatine, Trioculus was in actuality a pretender to the throne, usurping the role of Palpatine's true son, three-eyed mutant Triclops.

Basically you're stuck with a three-eyed-mutant Emperor no matter what. You're getting a three-eyed-mutant.

Lol @ all this bladerunner dissing in a fucking star wars thread

Empire Strikes Back is better than Blade Runner. Simple.

Nope. False.

i've seen prequels you wouldn't believe...

Nope. False.

― Οὖτις,

will somebody get this walkin' carpet outta my way?

aww shakey's getting all nerd defensive in the star wars thread

Alfred have you seen Blade Runner on the big screen?

A lot of the shots don't really make sense until they're hueg. Pacing works much better too.

Tri-Klops was a He-Man character!

I had that action figure

This is so true. I had seen it multiple times, but never really fell in love with until I saw the Director's Cut on the big screen.

empire is great for entirely different reasons than bladerunner
i love them both too much to choose

ridley scott made the future look like a real place; and george lucas made space seem like a bitchin place to hang out

has anyone tried a mashup i wonder

for different reasons possibly bcz Star Wars ISN'T science fiction?

this is not the thread you are looking for

lol otm

that was to morbs but it works both ways

the only reason Blade Runner is boring is Daryl Hannah, but that's a valid reason to find it boring

since i've seen Blade Runner maybe 3 times, like a normal person, i don't even remember her being in it.

she does so many cartwheels tho dude

you have to help us jf. you're our best and only friend.

the bradbury building gives a better performance in blade runner than anyone gives in eps 1-3
