Ed Wood?

I don't see "Navy Seals" on the shelves...

Was there a Kubrick theme going on?  Of course you're correct.  Difficult to find any image from that movie that isn't a giveaway.

Yes, I always thought the blue sky in the original dove scene was a choice until I read later that the dove simply wouldn't fly with the rain machines running.  I'm at peace with them modifying that for the Final Cut.  The blue sky was perhaps a little too on the nose.

Spoiler

I've watched all the different versions and do recall that line.  It's a definite groaner.  One of the most common criticisms of Blade Runner is that there is no chemistry between Deckard and Rachel.  I think that makes the movie more interesting.  It's not romantic.  But that line in addition to being a wink at the ambiguity of Deckard also implies a romantic chemistry that is not there.

I don't know how I feel about the Blade Runner sequel.  I was never clamouring for one.  And Harrison Ford's track record for resurrecting old characters has not been good.  But it seems to be getting good reviews so now I'm starting to get interested.

Boy that looks like the old version of the dove leaving Rutger Hauer's hand at the end of Blade Runner.  And the theatrical cut contained some leftover footage from The Shining. But I didn't recognize the clock.  Is it also a shot that's specific to the theatrical cut?

Haha, no it's a regular photograph but it sort of sets the films events into motion.

Yeah, I hoped it would.

Indeed.

Nope.

No, but I like where your head is at.

Hmm... I guess I misremembered it as being a bigger part for McDiarmid.

Next up:

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

Is that William Peterson? To Live and Die in LA?  Manhunter?

Wall Street

Of course, Chrille!  I should have known you would be familiar with this film.  I just watched it for the first time and was quite enthralled.

Let's try this one, a pretty iconic scene from an underseen movie:

Looks like "The Fugitive" to me.

Slow West?

Bone Tomahawk?
