His kids have undoubtedly seen all kinds of porn by now.
I joked with him about that and he just said "shut up" haha

Still can't get this movie off my mind.
Hopefully rewatching it with uni friends next week.
I believe the sex scene from this movie will be a future iconic scene in cinema.
Whats the general/overall impressions on the movie? Yay, or nay? What worked and what didnt? Etc.
Coworker wants to take their kids who are in 8th grade / freshman in high school.
He's most worried about sex, the most I can remember is you see like 3 women's breasts, and it's implied they're about to have sex but don't show anything correct?
I remembered most of the violence.
Do the kids want to see it? I'd be more worried about them getting bored.
I don't think it's considered a sex scene.
But I agree. I thought it was iconic as soon as I saw it.
I tried to watch Blade Runner when I was a teenager and I hated it. Didn't even finish because it was so boringIn highschool you're not a toddler.
And this is still a colorful sci fi movie with action, not exactly a 5 hours Russian examination of faith.
Not that, it was the scene where she first approached gosling
If you love the movie, the $40 artbook is kind of a must have.
Only way I could love that artbook more is if I could get it signed by Villenueve, Deakins, or Gosling.
Lol sex scene was the best way for me to put it in a few words.
Funnily enough while in the cinema the scene didn't resonate with me as much as it does right now. Reflecting on the movie as a whole, it's definitely one of the stand out moments. The originality of it all is astounding. It's absolutely touching to the core how far Joi went to express love for K. It went a long way to making the later scene with the Joi advert all the more devastating.

Tempted. Is there any commentary along with the art?

I need to get the bluray for the audio commentary alone. Also hope it'll have plenty of making of material. This is a movie I could watch an entire making of doc of.

Pretty muchIs it a a guarantee that it'll have audio commentary and making-of footage? Blade Runner will literally be the first bluray I'll ever own, and the first disc I'll have bought in like 13 years.
There's only colorful movies for high schoolers and Tarkovsky!
My dude, like 7 high schoolers on planet earth are interested in 2049.
Yes, it ended up being a much bigger book than I expected.
It's always funny thinking back to the Tarkovsky movie Nostalghia.
People who thought Blade Runner 2049 was too slow might actually physically die if they had to sit through that.
anyone else feel real lonely after watching this?
at least that seemed like the vibe i got from the entire film

Presenting 2049 as a "colorful sci-fi movie with action" (so why wouldn't a teenager like it) is kind of reductive, no?
It's a 2.5 hour cyber-noir mood-piece.
Not saying kids can't like these, just sayin'.
There's high schoolers and high schoolers I suppose, 2001 was my favorite movie at 14, and I had no movie friends, so I wasn't trying to impress anyone, I was genuinely transfixed by it.There's only colorful movies for high schoolers and Tarkovsky!

I don't think 2049 is all that unaccessible, and I think you're selling high schoolers and 8 year olds or something.
I mean some people won't be able to sit still for 2 hours no matter what, even at 40, but I don't think that has to do with age.
Should I watch this or Mother!?
I am going later today to the movies and I want to watch something good.

Definitely this. Mother! was very... on the nose. This does what it does far better.

Both are fantastic in their own way, and both are among the best movies I've seen this yearShould I watch this or Mother!?

Watching the original again and the scene with Bryant and Deckard discussing the Nexus 6 models has an obvious shady vibe. Bryant claims that the 4 year lifespan is a failsafe yet Deckard seems to have no idea that such a thing is possible and Tyrell later claims to Roy that the lifespan was simply the limit of their bioengineering ability. If Deckard's surprise at the short lifespan is genuine then doesn't that imply that older replicants had open-ended lifespans? It does feel like Deckard was just plopped into the situation with some embedded memories of being a BR and not much else.
I don't really see how they're comparable or what Blade Runner is doing similar to Mother.
That said I think I agree and would go see Blade Runner but, for Memento, I think Mother is pretty awesome and worth checking out when you have a chance.

You're right. Decard does seem surprised to learn about the 4 year lifespan. Which really doesn't make much sense since he's been retiring Replicants his whole life at that point. Unless, like you mention, the 4 year lifespan is a new development and prior Replicants' lifespans were open ended
I watched the movie yesterday evening in Germany. There were only around 20 people in the theater. 4 teenagers (2 girls+2guys) left before the break. The guy in front of me I could hear sleeping-snorting-waking up 5 times (but made it to the end!) and another guy behind me called the movie "zäh" (tiresome) in the first half.... well anyway I liked it in the end. But I can totally understand it flopping. It's really too slow-paced for the masses. Nevertheless, the first one had similar pacing... and that's not the only aspect that makes this a great sequel.
But gotta be honest, if I had watched the movie at home, I probably wouldn't have gotten through. Only for the patient.

It's certainly well made. I think a lot of it comes down to how open minded you are and what you're expecting from a Blade Runner sequel 30 years later.
I think they probably did the best they could with trying to make a great film that would please everyone, but I can't help but feel there would be less hesitation if they simply made it it's own film rather than a sequel to a cult classic.
