Blade Runner

Just saw this.
I don't usually buy into the whole "women will never understand" thing, but I genuinely think it would be very difficult for a woman to fully understand K's story arc.
What are your thoughts about the movie? Also post cool wallpaper stills.

Maybe you have to be a young loser to understand because it did nothing for me. I resonated more with Ford.

Jack-Off Instruction

Damn, this guy said it better than I ever could. I'm saving that.

This is a good read
pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/11/blade-runner-2049-knows-you-arent-special.html

2 females I know loved it. The only male I know who has seen it hated it and couldn't even understand the basic plot.

Granted a third female I know who saw it complained about the lack of colored people.

blade runner 2? didn't they already pull this from theaters because it was a gigantic flop?

How would Blade Runner 2049 be different if she was named Cei instead of Joi?

It's not believable to me that K would ever let himself be drawn into loving a hologram in the first place. Even though he knows he's a replicant he should still have more self-respect than that.

He's an adolescent. He was young and dumb.

>Granted a third female I know who saw it complained about the lack of colored people
>associating with disgusting SJW's

Seriously? In the movie it's clearly shown everyone else looks down on him; He flinches when just walking past humans in the LAPD station. Someone like him would desperately crave companionship.

Humans don't like him because he's a replicant. Replicants don't like him because he's a blade runner. He really doesn't have a choice.

Did she miss Doctor Badger being absolutely crucial to the plot?

Doctor badger spin off when?

>Granted a third female I know who saw it complained about the lack of colored people.
What kind of real life person actually complains about that?

On that note, I didn't understand why they called him "Skinner" and why all the human males in the film were bald. You'd think they'd be the skinners.

Harrison Ford is a hack and has been phoning it in for decades for easy money. He was total shit in the original movie too.

"Skinner" (originally "skin-job") is used as a derogatory term for a replicant. This was a carry-over from the first film (Deckard's narration in the theatrical version specifically equates it to calling a black person a nigger). It's a reference to how as bio-androids, they are essentially advanced robots with human skin.

He was really good in this though. The scene with Rachel was better than his entire performance in blade runner 1.

I'm human and I would fall for that shit.

Lurk around some other boards here and it might click for you.

He actually tried here. He phoned it in for TFA

...

>Humans hate him because he's a replicant
>Other replicants hate him just because of his job
>He hates himself
>Lives in a shithole
>Clearly craves companionship

>Dude I can't believe he bought an AI with the tagline "Everything you want to see, everything you want to hear"

And then subsequently this leads to
>even the female replicants hate him because he prefers his holographic waifu to them.

I think he was fine in TFA and actually seemed to be playing a character rather than just being an angry old man like he has been for 10 years.

>joi: "I'm so happy when I'm with you"
>k: "you don't have to say that"

Why did he have to have such a hard life bros?

No one worth remembering had an easy life

K was not nearly as delusional as that post makes him out to be. K knew Joi was an appliance. It's only the audience that really gets hit hard at that moment with the lack of personhood that was behind Joi.

Because he:

-was designed to obey orders without question as a Nexus 9
-has full knowledge that even though he has memories, they are all lies
-has been assigned a job where his only function is to "retire" other replicants who don't obey orders
-also knows that should he ever go "off baseline," he will be summarily retired as well
-has no reason to believe that his life has any meaning whatsoever

Am I the only one who saw this in digital imax and noticed her smooth Barbie vagina in this scene?

I'm not sure I completely agree. While he certainly knew it on one level, he clearly wanted to believe she was real, too.

And I'm not fully sure we're supposed to interpret it that way, either, what with the juxtaposition of that scene against the preceding "her eyes were green" scene, and the repetition of Sapper's "because you've never seen a miracle" line. IMO, it's also a viable interpretation to think that in some way HIS Joi WAS real in an irreplaceable way, and he realizes it at that moment.

anywhere i can torent this yet? i've been waiting since day one V.V

Pretending and being delusional are two different things. You can play WoW and pretend to be an orc but that doesn't mean you actually think you are an orc.

He just wanted to pretend he had someone special in his life.

This reads like what someone who browses the IMDB forums would post.

It was fucking taken out of IMAX before I had a chance to see it, because of Geoshit

She's my step-sister my step-dad is cool tho he liked the movie

A above average size 22 year old with a hippy mother she's spent most of her life with. Surprisingly she never dyed her hair.

That scene was about realising that the nature of your creation doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter that Joi is a mass produced product, his Joi was an individual, special, mattered to someone and became more than what she was when she was created. It doesn't matter that K is not Replicant Moses, he can be individual, special, matter to someone and become more than what he was.

Your waifu isn't real. Get a fucking job.

I've had some extensive experience with VR porn, which is as close to JOI as we have right now, and I can honestly say that the way K treats JOI is very accurate to how someone would treat a sentient holowaifu, based on the way I experience VR porn.
You see, when you watch it, one part of your brain knows it's fake. It knows you've just got some retarded contraption hooked up to your face, and that the girl in front of you isn't there, she's just a recording. But then, the other half of your brain says "well yeah, but imagine if she WAS real?". And then you start to, I don't know the best way to phrase this, but you "get lenient" with the VR stuff. You start to just go with the flow try to match what's happening and immerse yourself, maybe squint your eyes so it looks even more realistic.
I very much believe that's the same way K looks at JOI. Half of his brain is telling him how retarded it is that he's in love with a hologram, while the other half is busy ignoring all the things that make her not real and focusing on how to make her real.

Autists can't see this because they cannot not see joi as a waifu

Joi is a cheap Replicant alternative. If K kept his eyes on the prize he could have bought a flesh and blood pleasure model in a few years

Pfffahahahahahaha

You are screwing up your memewords, newfag.

>Normies can't see this because they cannot not see joi as a waifu
FTFY

imagine being this addicted to porn. wew lad

this is pasta right?

I didn't say he was delusional, though, I said "he wanted to believe." It's not the same thing. It's also not exactly the same thing as "pretending," either. Desire for actuality goes beyond mere pretense.

To use your example, it's one thing to play an orc in WoW, another to want to be one, and yet another to believe you are one. With K, we have the middle one.

>He just wanted to pretend he had someone special in his life.
No, he wanted to be special himself, which means to be special to someone else (which is the flip-side of having someone special, so it's much the same). Part of him knew he couldn't really be special to Joi, but that didn't stop him from wanting it to be true anyway.

But furthermore, I would assert that his experience with Joi eventually allowed him to become special, which he does by his choice to save Deckard and bring him to his daughter — something only he can do. So in one sense or another, Joi ends up being truly special, too.

>JOI fill your ass with 30 hotdogs then shit them on my lap while taking about your day
>I'll be eating some lame noodle bowl so make sure some of the hotdogs end up in there before I finish eating.
>Then I want you to inflate until you pop, your body exploding in a shower of gore that covers evey inch of my apartment.
>Oh and JOI... disable safely protocols

>VR porn

I don't think it gets mentioned much, but the scene after the final fight when they're swimming back to shore and K falls behind and Deckard goes back for him really got to me. It's pretty simple but I think Ford sold it well and it's probably the first genuine care K has received from someone made of flesh and blood purely for his sake.

could a woman understand this movie?

SAME

please tell me Blade Runner 2049 will be shown in IMAX again at some point in my lifetime

literally only turbo virgin betas call people numales or cucks on here, its some kind of bizarre, insecure projection

Great point.

It really pisses me off that some reviewers claimed that Ford just mailed it in, and that his role was "little more than a cameo." My reaction was "did you watch the same movie I did?"

I mean, if people want to complain that his costuming wasn't more exotic, I guess that's one thing, but FFS, don't claim he didn't even try to act.

>being somewhat normie
>not socializing with sjws
most people you meet in day to day life already espouse reddit-tier opinions on almost everything, its hard to avoid every person who takes it just a little too far

Nah, directors never understand their own work

Then rather than Luv killing Joi, Luv would kill Cei which makes no fucking sense

Twitter/reddit is right place for you then, faggot

t. CuckboiNumale

Maybe further down the line if it gets really good Blu-Ray sales

thank you for the hope

I saw avatar in 2011 in imax 3d again. still gave me a fucking hard on. It's really not fair -- rewatching that movie via any other method, even a normal theater is just so shitty in comparison it's outrageous. If this movie reaches avatar levels of popularity it will probably be shown again

It got a glowing, rave review from The Daily Stormer.

So I don't know what to think.

Is it really a different experience in IMAX?

I actually like Ford in the first one. He's kind of goofy in it.

...

This is the most cancerous thing I've ever read.

>Granted a third female I know who saw it complained about the lack of colored people.

Was she Swedish? My Swedish friend always tries to critique shit for not having enough women or minorities and it's fucking retarded.

what is this? deep thought coming from a 4chin post?

exactly the reason why wallace describes. greatness is built off the backs of the downtrodden.

do you guys think they planned to make more? or was this movie it?

I must be retarded because I assumed Joi actually was sentient the whole movie and I was just supposed to go along with it

I also didn't realize the pink hologram was of her so I didn't get significance of that scene until reading this thread

Hampton Fancher has said he's prepared some material for sequels, but that it would depend on whether this one was successful. Seems doubtful now, since at best this one will do little more than break even.

IIRC, he made a comment about maybe having a story where Deckard travels to another country, but I seriously doubt they'd be able to convince Ford to come back for another full movie (or afford to pay him), and I can't really see them recasting the role.

Also, Villeneuve has other things on his plate (like Dune).

>I also didn't realize the pink hologram was of her
How did you miss that? It literally says "JOI" in giant letters. Her eyes are different, but that's all.

numales would resonate more with K, retard

t. Numale
Go watch Thor 3 faggot

go cry about how joi isn't real, faggot

I can't help but wonder if the writers were aware of this

So K is a stoic ?

some people are called joi IRL as an alternative spelling to 'Joy'. They probably chose an alternative spelling to 'Joy' so that it could be consistent with Love having an alternative spelling to 'Love'

I'M THE BEST ONE!

She clearly is

I SAID STOP. I DON'T NEED THIS IN MY FUCKING LONELY LIFE.
I FUCKING HATE YOU.
FUCK YOU GOOSE YOU MADE ME FEEL SOMETHING OTHER THAN PURE DEPRESSION IN 3 FUCKING YEARS!!!
>not understanding that this film basically is about loneliness, depression and how we can, and must find meaning in our lives.

Okay, I'll bite. What can't a woman understand about this film?

he is pretty much required to be (baseline), and for the longest time he remains so.

*blocks your childhood trauma*

>Even though he knows he's a replicant he should still have more self-respect than that.

Why would a replicant have any "self-respect" as you call it that meant automatic aversion to dating a hologram? Manufacture of dating holograms is a successful, high end business in 2049.

Him being in the car during the water fight made me cringe. That scene was pap, it may be because of how rubbish HF was.

Joshi clearly liked him tho

Yeah, that's why he was completely glib when the Emulator was crushed in front of him. Any pain in his eyes was just buyer's remorse.

Doctor Badger's Mystery Hour: Real or Not?

Is your sister a Re?

the short story this movie is based on explicitly mentions that joi is equally human to replicants.(aka fully human after experiencing their own unique experiences that form them into a unique being)

the fuck? the letter R is not next to the letter H on a keyboard

Correct, so again, is your sister a tard?

no bully pls, we are only here for feels

As in my left hand?

heh
But was the dog a rep?
