I am a big fan of Ridley's work, his vision of the future with Blade Runner I find it interesting though, that all those years ago
he incorporated a lot of Asian Influence into the look and feel of LA in the Film, as he says in the Film Commentary track, he
guessed that the Asian countries would become massive financial powerhouses in the world economy (mainly China)
and how they would come to influence the look and feel of a modern world.

Next time you watch the Film pay attention to the back grounds, Signage and other details, it is amazing how much Ridley
has incorporated the Asian culture into his vision of Future America.

I love quite a few of Ridley's films, I find the first time I watch them I don't like them, but I still can't help myself I have
to go back and watch them again and again, and through each subsequent viewing I find I end up thoroughly loving the film.

yup.. the language that the people use is supposed to be a combination of german, japanese, and spanish, etc...

there are a half-dozen non-english languages that were jumbled up to make "cityspeak".

for somebody's first bladerunner viewing, i generally recommend the "voiceover" version because it gives a lot of technical and cultural background (like the language, ethnicity, etc) that would otherwise go over most people's heads... subsequent viewings are the director's cut (no voiceover).

Watching "Ice Pirates" on demand. What a great bad movie!

Lol, that is a horrible picture.

She has rosie o'donnell face going on

You're right - I see that - I first saw it as sorta Miss Piggy though.

She's no Lynda Cater...

Wonder Woman Filming in Hollywood - Full Costume

New Poster for Pirates 4:



Thor: It looks like the plan of introducing future JL members to SHIELD will offer yet another glimpse at a future character - Hawkeye.



Though it's not yet clear, his part is not measly 2 second cameo, it's sounding more and more like a full scene with Agent Coulson.

I think the movie's going to suck anyway from the previews we saw at the theater a while back.

I like pirate movies..

I thought the very 1st one was great. The others just became... repetitive.
