RSS Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 "What's the in the sky? Is it a spy? Is it a replicant? Is it a dolphin?" No, Peter. Calm down! It's everyone's favorite Dutch actor: Rutger Hauer! In episode 55 of Hey, an Actor! The Brothers Wilson really do go from the sublime (Blade Runner) to the ridiculous (Hobo with a Shotgun) via the WWII film (Soldier of Orange). As Ian and Pandy trot down Rutger Road they find all sorts of exciting nuggets of fun, including the joys of an intermission, Chad Kroeger, how one film reminds Pandy of a sobering Julius Caesar lesson, and Ian's latest parasites. Also, a fellow Earth-2.net contributor's previous treatment is revisited, another Earth-2.net contributor is (nearly) referenced by Colin Mochrie, and another Earth-2.net contributor is outed as the show's only Patreon supporter (despite this show not having Patreon).

org Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 On Blade Runner- The final origami model is a unicorn, and ties in with Deckard's dream, indicating Gaff knows Deckard is an android (in this universe it would appear androids dream of electric unicorns ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Between Yes Madam, Police Story and Hobo With A Shotgun, I'm glad I never recommended the latter. Enjoyed your thoughts on Blade Runner. Did you guys take any notice in the music? Vangelis' soundtrack is pretty well regarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 In that I only watched it 1.25 times, the music didn't make a *huge* impression. That being said, I expect that to change on repeat viewings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenalphabro Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm currently listening to the episode, and have realized that I'm probably in a minority of one on these forums, in that I don't like Blade Runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenalphabro Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I don't remember the specific version, but I don't think it had the monologue at the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 It took me years to even begin to appreciate Blade Runner. Hell, even now I think it's boring as hell and is a slog to get through. That said, it looks great, and Rutger Hauer owns every scene he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenalphabro Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I will say, it does look extremely good, if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 It took me three times to watch it, as I feel asleep the first two times. For me it's all about the atmosphere and the directing, and the weirdness of Roy Batty and Pris and friends. But it is quite slow. Blade Runner 2049 is slow too, SLOW AS HELL. But that movie is just as impressive, and one of the best sequels I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 So far I’ve only seen Blade Runner once. I remember the direction and Hauer being wonderful but the actual story to be lacking. Now based on your review of it, I NEED to rewatch it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
