A beautiful copy too, no enhancement needed.

Tasty.
And while I'm glad we haven't become quite the dystopia envisioned in 1982, it would have been nice if by now we *were* a little more "futuristic" (outside of the obvious personal-sized technological achievements).

Wow, what a stunning design, and an obvious projection from existing objects. Looks so familiar, like I've seen it hundreds of times, even played with it. I just can't put my finger on it.

I'll read anything you want as long as Harrison Ford isn't doing a voice over while I am doing it.

A dildo?

My favorite movie, thanks for this. Some absolutely beautiful stuff in there, amazing that it is from so long ago now too.

That didn't last long.

lajotu: That didn't last long.

Phew. Found it elsewhere.

ONCE AGAIN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SAVES HISTORY!

Wait, I'm getting a vision...flying cars? Nah, that couldn't be it.

I lost my copy in a flood 6 years ago. Thanks, subby.

Damn. Of all the books I still have from that time (Art of Star Wars, sketchbooks of SW and Alien) I don't have that one?

Someone post the link? I don't see it on the mobile site

We always use the indefinite article "a" dildo, never...."your" dildo.

It's interesting to see 30 year old visions of the future. We'd have space colonies and androids, but not the internet or iPads. I don't know of that's a result of lack or forethought, or lack or ability to sufficiently project on the silver screen (it's a lot easier to show a spaceship than Wikipedia.)

It looks like a pistol.



Or a vibrator.

There's a comic book adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep from a couple of years ago which is well worth checking out. It's literally every word from the book so it's quite a long series. Its by Boom! Comics. Artwork is clearly influenced by the film in some ways.

If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes.

last movie of its kind. when it was finished it was never to be made that way again. all of these things would be lost like...

oh shiat just go watch the movie.

Now if someone would release an original copy of the farking movie so we don't have to watch the directors cut.

/has copy of original from laser disc

Does it have Sean Young naked.

She did not age well and went crazy it seems

In 1988, Young appeared in The Boost with James Woods. Woods later sued her for harassing him and his then-fiancée, alleging that, in addition to other disruptive behavior, Young left a disfigured doll on his doorstep. Young denied the allegations and claimed that Woods filed the lawsuit out of spite. Young stated, "It was a crush being turned down, that's all.... So sue me! And he [Woods] did." The suit was settled out of court in 1989

Angela Watercutter finally figure out how to work the internets? I downloaded the BR sketchbook seven months ago, and that was long after I knew the torrent was out there.

damn. I used to have that book. No idea where it went. *sigh*

No I never wanted to and still don't, but thanks for offering

Crewmannumber6: No I never wanted to and still don't, but thanks for offering

Thanks for letting us know.

That book is the teason I became a production designer.

That and the Star Wars ones.

And Alien.

Morons texting while flying? Please, no.

Great find!
Thanks Subby!

Litterbox: I really hate to be "that guy", but Ive yet to ever see this movie all the way through. I almost made it that last time I tried to watch it. B O R I N G. I love Harrison Ford, I love Sci Fi but I just cannot get through this movie. I really, really tried but its galactically Meh.

Anyone from the younger generation is much more likely to feel this way. Blade Runner is boring in the same way that Citizen Kane is boring - the cinematographic elements that made it so far ahead of its time 30 years ago are passe today.

lajotu and litterbox: "galactically Meh" and "boring in the same way that Citizen Kane is boring"

OMFG You so don't get it. Cinematic giants.

I waited until I was 25 and working in the business as a camera assistant before watching Citizen Kane at the Cinerama Dome and was still astonished at the craft.

See them on the big screen, not on your tv. If that fails you should consider that you have no idea what you are talking about.

It's also "boring" because it was shot before MTV changed the visual flow of movies. When I went to see the rereleased version of The Exorcist a while back, I was surprised at how slow--indeed, even languid--the scene changes were. Sometimes the camera would hold on a subject for more than *gasp* thirty seconds.

Anyone watch 2001 A Space Odyssey lately?
Beautiful to watch. And sssssllllloooowwwwwwwwwwww

Mugato: SockMonkeyHolocaust: I'll read anything you want as long as Harrison Ford isn't doing a voice over while I am doing it.

The voice over was bullshiat. I get the Sam Spade thing they were going for but even Harrison Ford was pissed about having to do it. And the happy ending with the stock footage from The Shining....well a whole paper could be written on how they farked up Blade Runner. But the director's cut still exists so it's all good. And fine ass Sean Young.


I intentionally put the original cut in my library. I think that the original cut is better than the directors cut.

I liked the voice over, it gives it a film noir feel which kind of brings the past and future together and immediately drew me into the movie. I liked the happy ending, it wasn't like it was a film which lacked in ambiguity and depression. I thought the much lauded unicorn dream sequence thing was underwhelming and didn't actually add anything to the movie.

SauceIT: I waited until I was 25 and working in the business as a camera assistant before watching Citizen Kane at the Cinerama Dome and was still astonished at the craft.

It's absolutely astonishing. My point wasn't that it's not.

It wasn't MTV, but the introduction of non-linear editing systems. Prior to NLE, film was cut and spliced. Edits had to be of a certain length to support this method; film was actually spliced together using tape. NLE was first used with video tape, since tape decks could be controlled to lay down a single frame. Once NLE was available for film, that changed the way movies flowed.
