Ridley Scott IS an asshole
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 03:45 PM by redqueen
for misleading so many people about Deckard's status as a NON replicant.


I don't need to prove it. It's a prima facie thingamajig. Or something.

1. it's called SALESMANSHIP
something needs to justify the 49 Extended Platinum Director's Special Edition's of Blade Runner they've released, so he keeps kicking up this damn stupid turd of a "plot twist" to get the fanboys all riled up.


le yawn.

3. Ridley Scott has an ego as big as ALL OUTDOORS.
Look at the abortion he turned "HANNIBAL" into. It wasn't even the same story after he butchered the ending and left out Margot Verger.

Asshole doesn't just say it succinctly.

4. I'm going to say it and people will hate me: Bladerunner is a terrible movie
Horribly dated music and absurd dystopian feel and a plot that absolutely butchers the motivations of the characters in the novel on which it's based.

12. Ridley Scott gets Roy Batty's motivation totally wrong
And focussed too much on dystopia rather than story.

"Whaa! Whaaa! I want to live longer. Although I have no issues with being a slave, I just want to live longer! Whaa! Even though my total lack of empathy should indicated I wouldn't give a flying fuck if I lived longer, I still want to! Whaa!"

15. I understand that you didn't like the adaptation...
I have my problems with it too, but it is STILL my favorite movie of all time. :)

11. His bullshit is NOT going to make me go get the new DVD.
It's just a marketing ploy, pure and simple.

Deckard is NOT NOT NOT a replicant.

13. It is.
And he's not.

And I'm glad I have a friend who loves me and bought it for me, so I didn't have to, cause I can't. :)
