FF:NSW Last Minute Bladerunner Directors edition Meet

Sorry for the late notice peeps, I only found out about this 15 minutes ago.

I'm going to see the 6:30pm session at the Orpheum this coming Monday night at Cremorne. The Theatre is an easy 15 minutes by bus from the city if you're unsure where it is (catch the L80, 180, L90, 190 etc from Wynyard and get off just before the Spit Junction).

Tickets are $21

Yeah I saw, id really like to see this on the big screen, but Uni exams say otherwise!

 

Uni exams?! Pah, exams aren't hard to pass at all.

If you miss this screening, you'll kick yourself in the future.

 

Which is a really painful place to be kicked!

 

Yeah I probably will, but having assignments due up until yesterday, and my exams are Wed/Thurs THIS week and with little to no chance to study, I'm kinda house bound for the next days. Blade Runner is, well, to be honest I'd really only be seeing it to see it on the big screen. The movie itself isn't all that crash hot (horribly paced, insane amounts of subtext for a single viewing), and studying it in year 12 killed it for me, but as far as seeing 80's movies back on the big screen. I'm there.

 

How was it on the big screen?

 

Wonderful.

The cinema had to install a state of the art camera (Sony 4k?) to show it and the movie seemed clearer than digital.

The movie seemed to have faster pacing as well, even though there were a few minor scenes which really helped to flesh out Deckard's character.

 

*cries*

 

Great stuff! Any pacing increase in that movie would be awesome!

 

That projector would have been the only reason I would have gone. By current HD standards, 4K resolution a massive amount of individual pixel real estate, I would have loved to have seen it in action.
