No. Pie is like dogs. Some pies are better than others, but all pies are good.

You guys should do Cloverfield.

A question and two suggestions:

Did you guys decide not to do Bladerunner because you figured you wouldn't have much to say during the commentary?

And the suggestions:  Since you all want to do classic movies your second year, how about the Godfather?

Or, you haven't done a western yet so how about The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly?

Half the cast does not like Godfather.  I f'n love Godfather, and I think Trey does too.  I'd love to do a commentary for it.

Would doing the original and the remake the same day work, by any chance? I'm thinking Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven, or Yojimbo/A Fist Full of Dollars.

I can only speak for myself, but I love the characters, and the tone of the world.  Not visual tone (although that's fancy too) but just the mood of this bleak and dying world.  I think Sci Fi and noir should be blended together more often, and in a day when that happens, I'm sure we'll get better films than Blade Runner, but until then it remains a unique and unlikely favorite of mine.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I don't really care about the zombies in the movie, to be honest. It's more the survival aspect I find interesting. I remember when I rented the tape years ago, my father watched it while I was away. He commented in a disapproving way that it was just a lot of pointless killing, to which I replied "And it didn't do the characters any good in the end, did it?" He was a little startled and hadn't considered that the violence had a point. Maybe it doesn't, but that's why I'm interested in hearing your views smile That and your takes on low budget film making. I get a kick out of how Romero planned it out, filming in order of importance so that once the money runs out (and it will) there's to guaranteed to be enough in the can to edit into a useable story.

TRON is great just because of David Warner, who I can watch in just about anything. Hell, he makes Wing Commander worth watching. End of line.

Re: Suggest a movie!

The whole unicorn thing in Blade Runner is a suggestion that Deckard is also a replicant, which if you watch the other movies based on Philip K. Dick stories,  questioning reality is a common theme:

Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?) - is Deckard really a replicant?
Total Recall (We Can Remember It for You Wholesale) - did Quaid really dream the whole thing?
Screamers (Second Variety) - if screamers can look like humans, who is really human?
Impostor - is Spencer Olham the alien weapon everyone believes him to be?

We see Deckard's dream of a unicorn, and later Gaff leaves him an origami unicorn, suggesting Gaff (or Bryant) has an understanding of the memories Deckard has been implanted with, just as Deckard has an understanding of Rachael's implanted memories.

Honestly I'd like to understand the where the title Blade Runner came from, but I guess it works better than Replicant Hunter.

Re: Suggest a movie!

I've never bought into the possibility that Deckard is a Replicant, purely because it doesn't make much sense. Given that even a pleasure model can kick his arse, I'm not sure he makes for a very effective replicant hunter.

What thing I didn't know until last week when I watched a documentary on the making of Blade Runner was that there was an idea to have Tyrell as a replicant.
