Did I miss something about her motivation at the end? Why, after discovering her true identity and everything that was done to her, would she want to continue working for them? I know that her boss was Beat Takeshi and he was good and good to her, but even still, wouldn't she want to go away and just live or try to…

yes, he was a completely forgettable villain. I saw the film last night and I'm having difficulty recalling his face or anything he said

Just got back from seeing it - I've never seen the original anime and know nothing about it, so I'm a newbie to the world, I suppose; I found it amazing to look at but completely shallow, and I'm not sure about Johansson being 'perfectly cast' unless it's assumed she's supposed to be dull because frankly it was a very…

The Knick

I saw this at the Dublin Film Fest a few weeks ago and thought it was mesmerising. It's a definite must-see for Lynch fans, but I think it's also an insightful look at the creative process (any creative process). I believe there's also an autobiography (of sorts) that he's publishing later this year or else in 2018.…

*Spike Lee angrily tweets Hans Zimmer's addr-* BWAAAAMMMMMMMMM!!!

just did a little Googling - he DOES say it in the shooting script but it looks like it was cut from all versions - apparently you can hear Olmos say it in some behind the scenes footage from one of the documentaries. http://www.blade-runner.it/… That must be where I heard it

I must have imagined it. When I didn't hear it in the director's cut, I assumed Scott cut it because it was tipping the hand regarding the whole 'he's a replicant' bit.

Speaking of Edward James Olmos, I have a question about Gaff in Blade Runner that's been niggling me for years. I have a memory that at the moment that Gaff shows up at the end and tosses Deckard his gun, he follows up the line "You've done a man's job, sir!" with "But are you really sure you are a man?" - am I crazy…

they do? i didn't know that. i always assumed they commission programmes after being given some sort of presentation, but not actually put the money up to make a pilot

The A.V. Club

ditto Irish TV, which operates on a minuscule budget, and simply couldn't afford the risk of not knowing where a series is going (as in the UK, soaps are the exception, but I think even the soaps' writer are several weeks, if not more, ahead of what's being aired)

*rummages in wardrobe for unitard*

The A.V. Club

Agreed. I haven't watched either in some time, but I suspect they both hold up pretty well. I can see why The Rock was chosen over MI because MI is more of a spy film, I suppose, than an action film. It's still got some great action sequences, though. And it's a very good spy film, suspenseful as hell in places. I can…

I opened another article (a film review) and things there are back to normal. is it just the newswire that's changed?

The book is brilliant. The film sounds only so-so

yes, I saw that - there's a moment where Stone says something like "when I was young, I wanted to make big, epic, violent films, you know, like [smirk] Mel Gibson" and Gibson's actually smizes at him. It's a really bitchy roundtable. And Damian Chazelle looks like a 12 year old stuck at the grown-ups table

First time on here in a couple of days. What has happened to the layout? I'm lost
