Slog - Comments on More Human Than Human http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/more_human_than_human Blade Runner: The Final Cut is the midnight movie at the Egyptian tonight and tomorrow. This 2007 release, overseen by Ridley Scott on the occasion of the film's 25th birthday, is a new digital print with polished special effects, audio remastered in Dolby 5.1, extended pivotal scenes, more violence, and some minor dialog and plot alterations. Go, especially if you haven't seen it since you were a kid in the ’80s. The dystopian classic is more gripping, more lush, and sexier than ever....

In 9th grade I lucked out when I saw it at the Egyptian: "The infamous workprint briefly resurfaced, by accident, for a one-week engagement (1/15 - 1/21) at the Seattle, WA Landmark Egyptian Theater in 1999. However, this print was the one-of-a-kind 70mm blow-up, directly from Warner Bros.' vault!"

All the versions I've seen since seem to suck by comparison.

I totally expected to switch to suck when this version ran at Cinerama a bit ago.

I ended up finding "father" a bit creepier.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those...moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die.

I never did see this version, however. Missed it at the Cinerama last year.

Thanks for the tip.

Oh wait, that's everything I've ever seen him in.

Definitely worth going out of the way to see it. The soundtrack still holds up after all this time.
