Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

imho This is one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.

I believe that Rutger Hauer ad-libbed this part of his monologue.

Pathos.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.

Anyone else keep expecting him to suddenly look at the camera? I probably waited a good full minute.

Well, I feel thoroughly embarrassed. I guess it's about time I watch this movie.

It is quite popular to quote the lines that immediately precede this scene, which is the "pause" below.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. [pause] Time to die."

There are many different edits of the film so might want to read up on which you'd like to see first:

I think I always assumed this was part of that Blade trilogy, which is why I always immediately skipped over it when it popped up on here. Today I learned, I'll look for it to watch immediately. Which would you recommend?

[–]Klinky1984 0 points1 point ago

I would probably watch the Director's Cut & then you could watch the Final Cut if you want to. The Final Cut appears to have digital alterations & scenes added to it to make it more like what Ridley Scott wanted. I haven't seen the Final Cut myself, so I am not sure how obvious these alterations are to the film.

If you liked The 5th Element or Children of Men you will probably like Blade Runner. All three of them have pretty immersive atmosphere and you get absorbed into the movie universe. Blade Runner probably more so than the others.

I loved blade runner and thought the 5th element was pretty awful.

Does that make me a bad nerd?

[–]Klinky1984 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Doesn't make you a bad nerd. E.g. I didn't like any of the Matrix movies.

The 5th Element was like a goofy Blade Runner, I took it for what it was.

International version, its the final cut with Harrison narrating. (might be wrong though)

[–]Klinky1984 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The Final Cut was not released until 2007.

The International Cut (1982, 117 minutes) also known as the "Criterion Edition" or uncut version, included more violent action scenes than the U.S. theatrical version. Although initially unavailable in the U.S. and distributed in Europe and Asia via theatrical and local Warner Home Video laserdisc releases, it was later released on VHS and Criterion Collection laserdisc in North America, and re-released in 1992 as a "10th Anniversary Edition".

I would also recommend dark city to anyone who's a fan of the aforementioned films, go with the directors cut if your watching it for the first time.

[–]Draghoul 0 points1 point ago

I prefer the final cut myself

This is now the reason I think all robots should have cameras in their eyes. Or for their eyes. Or both

They better not remake or prequel this awesome movie.

I can honestly say this movie is the best move none of the people I talk to even know about.

Correct. Though the original source is the film...
