1982 International Theatrical Cut -

Blade Runner is one of my favorite films, and I pull new things out of it every time I watch it. It helps that there are five cuts floating around. This time I decided on the theatrical cut (voiceover, happy ending, etc) as I hadn't seen it in some years.

The making of story of the film is endlessly interesting, much like the movie itself, but for the life of me I don't know how…

★★★ Liked Watched

Uneven but enjoyable! A lot of great ideas swirling around, execution wasn't always on point but kept me interested throughout, improved throughout runtime to a very strong finish. Some wonderful practical effects as well.

Eva Green didn't grab me until about a half hour in, but the rest of the cast gave great performances.

Was fortunate to watch this at Beyond Fest 2022 and see a Q+A with the director. Gave me a lot of respect for him and insight…

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

1989

★½ Watched

We literally turned this off 20 minutes from the end of the the film we were so frustrated by it. Not trying to yuck the yum of people that hold this as a favored Christmas movie - but it's mean-spirited and centers on one of the most unlikable protagonists I've ever watched in a comedy movie.
