So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
There are maybe 10 or 12 / things I could teach you / after that you're on your own — A.C. Newman, There are Maybe 10 or 12 |

I was young when Blade Runner was released: only 11 years old. The directors cut was released in 1992, but I don’t remember seeting theatrical viewings.
Ridley Scott has famously recut the movie several times, culminating in the theatrical release of Blade Runner: The Final Cut
“Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled about their shores…burning with the fires of Orc.”
I had never seen this movie on the big screen: this movie was meant to be seen on the big screen. Every moment of every scene is rich with visual detail that a television set doesn’t do justice. Seeing the film with no voiceovers at all is a nice treat…they were famously added by the studio, and always ruined the tone of the film. All have been removed now, and the print is beautiful.
See this movie in theatres, if only to remind yourself of how far ahead of its time it was and how young Harrison Ford once was.
