Ridley is on a roll! First Prometheus and now this. I'm extremely happy no-one else was allowed to direct this or the Alien prequel. Atleast I know the projects are in very good hands

Aww hell no! The "Final Cut"-version of Blade Runner is the shit. Why does Ridley have to go and ruin the fuck out of a good movie by doing it again and probably with a shit cast as well? Dammit. I agree that the theatrical first release with the film noir voiceover-crap was balls, especially the version with the happy ending, but the Final Cut, oh yeah.

Leave Blade Runner alone, leave it alone!

Let's go rape other cult sci-fi classics, like E.g. Rollerball while we're at it. Oh wait:

Good fucking job.

I need around tree fiddy.

^This. If Blade Runner 2 is worse than Blade Runner 1, it's no skin off the first movie's nose.

The first film was a decent movie, but I think it's vastly overrated.

Some franchises/movies/trilogies/quadrilogies should be left alone.

I stand by my words.

Alien vs Predator.

Hope he doesn't fuck with the original. Or the theatrical release. Or the directors cut. Or the remastered final cut.

Not knowing if Deckard was/is a replicant is what sets the movie apart imo.

Some directors should be taken behind the barn and shot.

"So, what have you directed before?" "Well, I made this submarine movie that has an awsum script that turns the WW2 events almost upside down and lies about the fact who captured the Enigma device!" "M-hmm...?" "And I plan on having Jon Bon Jovi in it too!" "It's a deal! Here's the T3 script, do your worst!"

Michael Bay and George Lucas should be kept away from franchises.

Give Michael Bay a cargo plane full of explosives, some lotion, and a crate of tissues.
Stick him on a secluded desert island to blow shit up, and whack himself off to random explosions.

George Lucas appears to have lost his mind part way through writing Return of the Jedi.

One word: EWOKS.

GL: "And.. and... ohwaitcheckthisout... to show just how EVIL the empire is, they're gonna build a Death Star to blow up planets!"
SS: "Hey, George, you already did that one"
GL: "But.. this one is BIGGER.. and... and.. there's a forest moon full of cute cuddly teddy bears that the empire is going to KILL! Nothing says evil like killing hordes of cute, cuddly teddy bears!"
SS: "Seriously, George? The evil 'Mr Father', all in black, wearing a black mask, and a black Nazi helmet, that chokes-a-bitch to death for getting his coffee order wrong, with Nazi-esque uniformed minions, living on a DEATH STAR, and , by the way, blows up whole planets for kicks - this isn't a subtle enough clue that these are the Bad Guys? I think I'll go make a movie with a lost alien muppet that likes product placement in films, three kids, and props left over from Close Encounters. Makes more sense. Call me when you're not stoned out of your mind - we'll do a film or something."
