I've been ignoring all of this cause it fills me with dread. Burrowing into the 90s PC game and the esper soundtrack for comfort.

I will watch it, possibly at the theater
A lamp with a white shade was knocked over and broken. Someone was smoking pot. “This is the pot room!” a young man said.

the bummer is the inevitability that this thing has no humor, no sense of history, just a neon-lit aesthetic tumblr ride
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

The 854th time I watched this I realized how critical the Ladd Company logo is to the whole experience. Makes you feel like you're watching it on a piece of AV equipment that would exist in the movie.

A certain kind of cyberpunk aesthetic has become so established that the relationship between style and content in formative cyberpunk stuff seems almost totally eclipsed. What distinguishes the subgenre from most SF is the implicit view that technological development really is not socially transformative, even if it offers radical surface-level changes. So you have this new metaphorical vocabulary and this technique of implying these hybridized cultures through little clusters of peripheral detail, but you graft them all over old spy and detective novel plots (with appropriately retrograde social relations driving them). Blade Runner does this so elegantly that it doesn't even seem intentional. So many staples from more optimistic or transformative SF styles exist in it as inverted versions of themselves, unremarked on in the background. It even takes flying cars, the like single thing people think of as emblematic of the Gernsback golden era thing, and identifies them with oppression rather than freedom. But this stuff isn't just not in the movie's writing, it probably couldn't be. The entire thing is to make visible things that we can't see because we're so used to them by making them strange to us but transparent to the characters.
You like can't create the thematic resonance that makes the movie's look so interesting and rewarding to pick apart by aiming at it; you have to get at it through the look itself. But you also can't get the look right justly trying to get the look right.

If anything the fact that we've had like 40 years of insane electronics and IT progress and wound up back in the 30s should make those old themes doubly relevant but mostly what people retain is neon kanji in the rain.
I don't know why I'm spinning all this, I haven't even seen the trailer for this thing.

This looks fine.
Villeneuve is great if he's 500 feet away from Taylor Sheridan, Jared Leto is a fine actor with a bad band, and Roger Deakins is GOAT.

trusting saranclaps opinions on Roger Deakins would be like citing a forest design post in a dissertation on David Lynch

Sicario and Prisoners were both completely enjoyable to me (Arrival was less so) so whatevs, I'm in
And I feel like this year is really about, just the year of realizing stuff.
