Football_Bachelor08 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I've never been able to sit through Blade Runner entirely without something else distracting me at some point. It's not that the film doesn't have artistic merit, I just find the movie boring. Maybe that's shallow but that's how I feel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be you just dislike detective thrillers or Neo-Noir films. Glengarry Glen Ross Blood Simple True Romance Dark City The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night Se7en Suspiria The Pelican Brief Devil in a Blue Dress Brick Cape Fear (1991) To Live and Die in LA Sin City Bound Insomnia Drive Videodrome (1983) PS there is no way Blade Runner is more boring that 2001 Space Odyssey! Strange thing is also Lolita freaking sucks honestly as a film, pretty damn lame I thought especially for Kubrick. I would say that one for sure. Chinatown I find oddly bad for as much hype as it gets, have not ever really made it through the entire thing but the parts I have seen never really even kept my interest. 53 minutes ago, Malfatron said: Wizard of Oz Blade runner Citizen kane I agree with Citizen Kane. Wizard of Oz is so creative and unique it is still very up there, not to mention having arguably the best song in any motion picture! Probably is the best original song made for a film ever.

If the audio was more correct and was not so dumbed over and out of sync it would be outstanding. Those first 10 minutes or so are awesome, but yes the movie should be about 1 hour shorter than what it is honestly. And the harmonic seems odd over and over, especially when it does not sound like a harmonic really. Deliverance is creepy of course, it is odd and unsettling but yeah not some classic one can watch over and over and love it... So to me it kind of is what it is supposed to be, a one or two time view of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagahide13 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) If you don't like Chinatown just watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 🤙 Chinatown was supposed to be a trilogy and Roger Rabbit is a parody of the third. I have a particular hatred for Easy Rider. Movie sucks, characters suck, the message sucks and the culture sucks.

"A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence."

The entire arc of public transportation and entire parts of Los Angeles being destroyed by a corrupt system/company to make way for the freeway system. It's all there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
