Blade Runner 2049 was excellent.  5 out of 5 stars, for me.
I remember the first Blade Runner when I was a kid but I've never actually watched it.  Since the new one came out, the old one is now one of the top movies in the "People Watching" list of movies for those in the know, so I may have to watch it and then check out the new one.

I highly recommend watching the original before you go see it. We did that the night before, and it was pretty beneficial in understanding some of what was happening.  They certainly don't spoon feed the details of the old movie to you. 

Yeah, Blade Runner was one of the first R rated movies I saw on my own, late at night, after my parents first got cable. That and Alien, The Thing, Apocalypse Now, Stripes, and Porkies kind of form my cinematic growing up period. 

 
I never thought the original was all that good, I don't think I have ever finished the movie, a I always fall asleep or get bored with it.. I think people just think it was good because of Harrison Ford - but it aint no Empire Strikes Back ;)  that's for damn sure..

 
I watched The House on the plane last week - wasn't impressed, and yes, i did enjoy The Big Lebowski, but that was smart comedy. The House was dumb, although I did get a few chuckles.

 
I haven't found Will Ferrell funny in years. He hasn't done anything "new" since Ron Burgundy. Everything else is the same shit with a different costume.

 
^- Same. he is basically a white denzell Washington, same character every time.. be funny if he played in a movie where he got set on fire and rolled down the street in a wheelchair or something..

 
The difference with Denzel is that his movies actually have a decent plot line where you can look past the same actor-same role bit.

I watched Magnificent 7 a week or so ago and thought it was pretty good. Again, he was in a very similar role, but the other actors and the plot kept me watching.

 
what else could they do with that character? I haven't even seen it and its already putting me to sleep:D
