You can watch it if you’ve got the stomach for it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IjO8wsjPqbg It’s… unpleasant, at best. But you’re right it’s not exactly a “sex” scene, since any sex is implied
She says "put your hands on me" at the end of the scene. Her words. He didn't tell her to say that. They proceed to kiss each other, and consensual sex is then implied.
I am one of the 11 people on Earth that hates coffee. "Hate" isn't strong enough. Even "despises" I'm not sure goes far enough. It tastes disgusting to me. I can't even stand the smell. This has led me at times to wonder if I'm crazy or if everyone else is. I do notice a ton of people consume a ton of sugar in their coffee so it seems like many don't really like coffee. They like sugar. But I digresss. I have the sam…
The xenophobia angle is really interesting to me. Despite being born after the movies release I always loved it. But I am also a huge japanophile and am unusual in the regard that I badly want cities as they are in Blade Runner and other Cyberpunk fantasies and was thus blind to the xenophobia, since I see the intended negative as desirable.

It _appears_ to mock itself, so it wouldn't be blamed for fascist's propaganda while being essentially a recrutement tool for US military.
Maybe you don't know very much about Paul Verhoeven.

It must be crazy for Jodorowsky to see how his concept art defined so much of space sci fi , at least this was the angle presented in the documentary. But imagine the treasure trove George Lucas must have come across
Jodorowskys Dune is the Xerox Parc of movies.

What are you trying to say? I saw his films. Why should I know anything about a director to make a judgement on the film I watched. It looks like you are trying to pool one fallacy or another failing to address the points in my comment directly (it says in their favor).

If you think Jodorowsky's Dune was weird, you should see his Holy Mountain [1] Also, millions of people did a lot of drugs in that time, but there is only one Jodorowsky. Drugs alone can not explain his vision. [1] - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR0vi0ifzE
Yes. That's the movie the comment you responded to was talking about. Did you even read the comment before responding?

I've been following this thread, and you seem sincere and not trolling, so I will share with you that I think most people reading this thread can tell you are missing something big. It's OK not to understand everything, but to say you despise people who claim to understand something you don't us... actually despicable. This site is for people to discuss and learn, and curiosity is basically a core value of it. It's O…
Bro. I'm older then you. Lol. Your very narrow minded to assume that just because someone has a different opinion then you it's from a person younger then you. In fact talking to someone in such a patronizing tone isnt itself exactly the overly polite tone dang seems to ask for from users on HN. I offer hard controversial opinions with no cushion, you treat me like a child lol. We are both bending the rules here. If…
But apparently not more mature.

> comprehend why Blade runner even has the possibility of being boring then I'm likely too stupid to be communicating with you Step away from the sugar drinks and try a digital detox. :-) People paid to see Vangelis sound and light shows, when there wasn’t even a movie rolling. Surely with a movie attached, the sound and light isn’t that dull? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31437226 Buried in that thread is a p…

> If you like Blade runner and you hate all forms of movies that are mainstream blockbusters like star wars, MCU, or all the other stuff and think those things are beneath you... then yes... in that case I despise you.
Lovely.
> Go watch the MCU
FWIW, I own _and enjoyed in theater_ all the MCU films, and all the BR releases.

Sometimes I wish shows like this would be open to doing other stories with the same settings and actors. Like, you already have all the resources, so why not remix them? This kind of thing could work really well for Fantasy stories - you already have the locations, costumes, practical FX, actors - it seems like the script (and the setups) are just about the easiest thing to change. Meanwhile all the rest, music, edit…
The actors would need to learn the new characters and lines? That takes time they rehearse a lot. Or are you suggesting the same characters are used? But then you'd have yourself a regular series with different adventures each episode. Film industry does already use props over and over. A great one that comes to mind is the scale model of the city that was bought and sold from studio to studio, movie to movie: https:…
Yes. Or, maybe you could find a different set of actors with similar physical measurements to use the same costumes. If you were on a sound stage and could limit yourself to 12-hour sessions, you could theoretically shoot two completely different stories for only the cost of the second set of actors, directors, writers.
