Yeah, I'm pretty sure NFB was referring to the article. As for VOD, don't underestimate it. If Disney's VOD experiment with "Mulan" is a success, it will expand to future films without a doubt.

I was referring to the Politics in the Westworld show. Any science fiction series dealing with artificial intelligence and how that technology can be abused for exploitation and control will quite obviously be political.

If the main star doesn't return next season I have no interest in it no more. if you watched the season 3 finale you would already know the answer to that.

You never know. Next season they may said it was a dream or a computer simulation or something. Jonathan Nolan already confirmed in an interview that Evan Rachel Wood will be back in season 4.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Runner-Final-Harrison-Ford/dp/B0094LNSYG/Can't deduce what makes it different than this one which I have a DVD for it https://www.amazon.com/Blade-Runner-Harrison-Ford/dp/B00A6VYX3I/But the IMDB people say there is 6-7 different release of it https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/alternateversions and that the Final Cut has all this but I didn't see them all SO AMAZON may have the WRONG movie as Final Cut In 2007, Ridley Scott released "Blade Runner: The Final Cut", digitally remastered with improved visual and sound effects, and with numerous revisions to the 1992 Director's Cut. The more noticeable differences between The Director's Cut and The Final Cut include: The overall film has been brightened considerably, revealing previously hidden details in many shots. Additionally, the digital enhancement reveals many heretofore obscured details, such as dirty dishes in Deckard's apartment and a freeway high above Pris as she approaches the Bradbury. The opening credits have been completely redone, although in the exact same font as in the original film. The noticeable shimmer effect from the theatrical cut and the Director's Cut has been removed. In the opening shot, the flames shooting up have been re-animated to look more synchronized with the associated light play on the smokestacks. In the shots of the staring eye, you can briefly see the pupil react to the setting of 2019 L.A. A couple of shots were trimmed (such as Deckard's intro reading the newspaper). Additional smoke was added behind the cook when Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and a police officer are talking to Deckard while he is eating at the White Dragon. All spinner wires have been removed and matte lines erased. Bryant's (M. Emmet Walsh) line "I've got four skin jobs walking the streets" has been improved so it's not obviously an inserted recording. Bryant says that "2" replicants were fried in the electrical field (as opposed to the theatrical release and Director's Cut, where he says only 1 was killed). Bryant describes Leon's job during the incept tapes scene. New Cityspeak and other chatter comes over on the police scanner in Gaff's spinner rides both to the police station and the Tyrell building. The original shot of Roy (Rutger Hauer) in the VidPhone booth that had been recycled from the later confrontation with Tyrell (Joe Turkel) has been digitally altered so that it truly does look like Roy was in the booth. The thumb on his shoulder has also been digitally removed from the shot. The hotel manager mutters "Kowalski" as he opens the door to Leon's (Brion James) room for Deckard and Gaff. The new Unicorn footage is longer and shows Deckard to be awake during the sequence. This is how Ridley Scott and editor Terry Rawlings originally conceived of the scene. Deckard is shown staring into space, and there is a cut to the unicorn. The film then cuts back to Deckard and again cuts back to the unicorn, before returning to Deckard once more. The shot of the unicorn which appeared in the Director's Cut has also been recolored, and the sound mix has been completely redone. The blue grid lines on the Esper machine have been reanimated, to make them look less smooth. When Deckard finds Zhora lying down in the back room on the photo, the image is now that of Joanna Cassidy; previously, it was clearly someone else. New footage of the LA streets before Animoid Row and Taffey Lewis's club, including the hockey-masked geisha dancers. The serial number on the snake scale now matches the Animoid Row lady's dialog. There is a shot of Deckard asking for directions to Taffey Lewis' from a uniformed policeman. The lip flap between Deckard and Abdul Ben Hassan has been digitally corrected (using Harrison Ford's son, Ben, as a stand-in for his mouth movements). In Zhora's death scene, you can tell it is her the entire time; previously it was obvious that her stunt double, Lee Pulford, was in the shot. Joanna Cassidy's head was digitally superimposed over Pulford's. Deckard's cut after retiring Zhora was digitally removed (it wasn't supposed to be there until after the fight with Leon). The marquee inconsistencies on the Million Dollar Theatre have been corrected. During Roy's confrontation with Tyrell, he says, "I want more life, father", as opposed to "I want more life, #%&*$#". When Roy kills Tyrell, the footage is the same as that found in the International Cut, with the additional violence. Additionally, when Roy turns to Sebastian, he says "I'm sorry, Sebastian. Come. Come", as he walks towards him. When Pris (Daryl Hannah) attacks Deckard, she reaches down and grabs him by the nostrils. When Deckard shoots Pris, he shoots 3 times instead of 2. The two shadows (of Ridley Scott and Jordan Cronenweth) seen on the wall during the chase sequence have been removed. When Roy pushes the nail through his hand, there is a shot of the nail coming through the skin on the other side. When Roy releases the dove, it now flies up into a background that matches 2019 L.A. The music which plays over the end credits is a newly composed piece by Vangelis; a different version of the 'End Credits' theme as heard in all other cuts. In the closing credits, David L. Snyder is now listed as 'David L. Snyder', instead of 'David Snyder'. Additionally, Ben Astar is now credited for playing the role of Abdul Ben Hassan.

The only proper "Blade Runner" is the original theatrical release. The original is fine but I prefer the Director's Cut which takes out the narration by Deckard and the "happy ending" with Rachel and Deckard driving in the countryside. I've always felt that the Deckard narration was too much spoon-feeding for the audience.

Are you joking. This is a classic. They used real SAS soldiers for the helicopter segment as couldn't get insurance for actors.

NoFlyBoy, I would really like to know your age. How about it? I'll go first. I'm 61 this Friday.
