the weird thing about Blade Runner that it's easy to forget after every viewing is that it's actually not a movie with no dialogue and only moody acting and moody setpieces. it's got a ton of weird 70s esque jokes and premises. and its aesthetic is as much 1920s Hollywood ghosts as it is wet rain-soaked neon LA. like for some reason in the 70s everyone was really into cabaret jazz and that influenced this movie in a weird way.
but like most of all it's such a good movie that fluked itself into existence that i hate the idea of even using it as source material in a slavish manner. and unconsciously i think we all who love it, love it as much for its limited technological context, the green Ladd Company logo to the Enhance Scene to the matte paintings and on and on. a sequel to this thing made today can only feel cheap because everything feels cheap now. if it can be good, it would find a way to incorporate that feeling of contemporary omnipresent cheapness (see: Twin Peaks s3). but it won't because it has an Moody Aesthetic that's recognizable and easily defined and it will just be that.
i'll eat my words obviously if it somehow manages to be good. i just don't even think that's possible
