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 need to see The House. Saw previews of this all weekend in Vegas. LOL

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.

Great to hear!

The fiancé and I (well. mostly just me, as he fell asleep) watched the original Friday night. It was... Anticlimactic.

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..

Did you enjoy either or both The Big Lebowski & Super Troopers?

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 **** with a different costume.

 

[Road Guy]

^- 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..

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

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.

Never saw Lebowski 

But The House is nothing funny like Super Troopers.  

I mean I like bad funny movies - this just wasn't funny.

Going to see Thor Ragnarok tonight. Can't wait!

Oh man, that's out already? Gotta get a baby sitter lined up.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Opened last night here in NZ. You won't get it until next week unless you grab it online.

 

[Road Guy]

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

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I think in this one he goes shopping for a Subaru.

So then you have no frame of reference here, Donny, You're like a child who wonders in the middle of movie.
