The differences are slight, except for the original version which had a voice-over. I haven't gone back to watch the original version, so can't really compare. But the Final Cut is an amazing movie! I watched it immediately after getting back from Blade Runner 2049.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-30572174891609941632017-11-10T10:43:47.752-06:002017-11-10T10:43:47.752-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-32385192573689892412017-11-09T23:38:05.588-06:002017-11-09T23:38:05.588-06:00Miles Teller was my boy too, but from Fantastic Fo...Miles Teller was my boy too, but from Fantastic Four on, nothing but crap, Get A Job was so average/bad, War Dogs disappointed. I skipped the boxing flick, idk, I'll catch it when it's streaming. When I saw some previews for Thank You for Your Service I was not excited, I said to myself well it's about that time of the year for an awards bait war drama, but based on your take Adam, I'm actually looking forward to checking it out. <br /><br />Battle of the Sexes is right up my alley but it never played at our local multiplex, just unreal, how does that not play here with those stars, it's not like we're mid-summer. We only have 10 screens, but still. I would have happily paid to see it. <br /><br />My excuse for not seeing Blade Runner 2049 was that I haven't seen the original yet (I know). I was so caught up with Scary Movie Month that I never got around to watching the original, and trying to watch the correct version since I know there are varying opinions on which one to watch. <br /><br />Things are going to pick up soon.Kersey Reschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115416019425288456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-6691317700188746432017-11-09T23:07:39.495-06:002017-11-09T23:07:39.495-06:00The ending is not the best part of LBJ so I unders...The ending is not the best part of LBJ so I understand what you're saying. I think the movie is a lot like Lincoln so I didn't mind it being more about JFK's legacy than LBJ. I think that's the part of the LBJ story Reiner is interested in most and wanted to tell. More specifically I think it is meant to mirror how politics should be (compared to how it is today). E.G. A incoming President concerned about the legacy of the previous one and not trying to undo that person's accomplishments. Also, I thought the Richard Jenkins subplot was interesting because it reminded me of the Freedom Caucus recently and how powerful subsets of a political party can be in terms of passing through legislation.

It is telling two or three stories adequately instead of telling one story well.<br /><br />As for Blade Runner 2049, it is in the running for my favorite film of the year right now. I don't know if I can justify that. It is gorgeous and just kind of worked for me all around. Also, it solidified that I am at least as attracted to Robin Wright now as I was when I was watching Princess Bride 20+ years ago.Scott Skocyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481902978617982142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-88422618138101090722017-11-09T14:37:37.900-06:002017-11-09T14:37:37.900-06:00I'm with you on Blade Runner, although after t...I'm with you on Blade Runner, although after talking with my mom, who just saw it, I was reminded of all the parts I liked about. Definitely want to revisit on blu-ray.<br /><br />What did you think about LBJs ending? It sort of felt like it was missing a third act and by ending where it does, makes the movie more about Kennedy than LBJ. Either way, I think the movie glosses over the more interesting parts of him as a person and as a historical figure.<br /><br />American Made was definitely the most fun I've had at the movies post summer and it was cool to see Cruise hamming it up. Doug Liman is an underrated director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-39999626913120112242017-11-09T09:45:17.195-06:002017-11-09T09:45:17.195-06:00It's a movie I'm curious to see a second t...It's a movie I'm curious to see a second time. I think expectations had a lot to do with my first viewing reaction. I was thrown off a bit that the mystery was what really mattered (at least I thought) in 2049 whereas it was revealed to be not the important thing in the original Blade Runner. It's a good movie though, no doubt about that.Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-85341555557001407372017-11-09T09:44:25.887-06:002017-11-09T09:44:25.887-06:00I didn't even know that LBJ was released yet. ...I didn't even know that LBJ was released yet.

It's not jingoistic.

Maybe this was due to the nauseating Shania Twain music video that played before many of the movies I've seen in theaters this year where she refers to herself simply as "Shania." You've swayed me.Ryan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833805229423092963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-39494099273132547992017-11-09T07:47:12.566-06:002017-11-09T07:47:12.566-06:00Leave it to Hollywood to wait until Scary Movie Mo...Leave it to Hollywood to wait until Scary Movie Month to release their quality dramas. I'm surprised you aren't a little higher on Blade Runner 2049 (gtfo with that title btw, just call it Blade Runner 2). I thought it was really emotionally and intellectually all around. I did, however, find it's extreme length a bit unearned. There's a scene, spoilers, where Gosling uncovers a doll from a furnace, and it takes like 2 minutes, even though everyone knows what he's going to find. Cut that shit down Denis. So far, it's my favorite movie of the year (most years it wouldn't be, but my god 2017). But nonetheless a worthy sequel to one of the best movies ever.
