All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

LOL! You know me so well. You know, I loved your actor countdown meme. I still need to do that.

Any chance you'll make it to ConCarolinas next year? (See this post.) My fingers are crossed.

[sneezythesquid.livejournal.com]

With a years warning, I should be able to make it. Any idea what the room rates are?

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

All the hotel info is here. It would be great to get to see you!

:D i know what we'll all be watching tonight!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Exactly! :D

I saw the shooting script

[true-gaudior.livejournal.com]

...before the movie was released. A friend of mine was a huge Harrison Ford fan, and she had struck up a pretty good friendship with his assistant. She got a copy of the script, and I got to read it. This was in early 1982. I had already been a Philip K. Dick fan, and I was pretty pleased with the translation.

"Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. Gooood Evening, Sebastian!"

That must've been amazing, holding what would become history in your hands! I agree with you about the translation. Great stuff.

Thanks for the reminder!

I loved the movie. I'm also a big Rutger Hauer fan:)

Re: Thanks for the reminder!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

You bet! Rutger Hauer is fantastic.

re-release when?

[malco23.livejournal.com]

I understand that they're releasing a crispy new version this year, with R. Scott's blessing and assistance. Anyone know of an announced release date?

Re: re-release when?

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I don't, but I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled. Thanks for the info!

Re: re-release when?

seems that details on the DVD are sketchy, but here's a trailer for "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" slated for fall 2007 theatrical:

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh wow - this is so exciting! Thanks for the link. I love the idea of getting to see this in the theater.

More info on the Bladerunner re-release. It's enough to make your head spin: there will be so many different versions and combinations of discs that Amazon has posted a "Which Version of Bladerunner Should I Buy?" guide:

I don't have a HD player, so I'll probably be happy with the 2 disc DVD version.

PS -- The fun starts Dec. 18, 2007
