| 334492 | 2008-01-09 19:23:00 | Just rewatched Blade Runner for the billionith time. Still cool as:cool: The for-real-this-time directors cut is coming out soon. Empire had a great series of artciles on Blade Runner and it's tortured history a few issues back. |

| 334494 | 2008-01-09 21:17:00 | Have not seen any mention of "The Hitchhicker's Guide To The Galaxy" - the original pommie version, of course. While the American version was reasonable, it was very bland compared to the original. They left many of the good lines out and made up some of their own which really did not work. How could you not like Marvin, the paranoid android? (although he did not seem to mind parking space ships for a few million years,) a ship computer with a sickening happy disposition, (the doors and lifts seemed to have a similar chip) and the improbability drive. Great sci fi that only the poms can do. And what about Dr Who? Some of the early episodes, fantastic for the time, now do look a bit dated and amateurish, but all of it is good. And see how long it has been on the screen! Incredible and believable. |

| 334496 | 2008-01-09 23:08:00 | Space Odessy, Aliens and Blade runner for me. As a matter of interest I have a boss named Dave and I went to the trouble of downloading the famous, "I am sorry, DAVE. I can't do that." I use this file as the default sound when booting Windows. I liked HAL9000 and I still hear his voice today. War of the Worlds also comes to mind. |

Great sci fi that only the poms can do. It is a shame that they decided to do the new version as a 2-hour movie and mess about with it so much. I can't help feeling that it would have worked much better as a 2 or 3 part mini series following the original radio or TV series script, but updated with a serious budget and CGI. The new version lost much of the British humour that makes it work, I feel. |

Uhuh, Im in the process of rebuying all my dvds after being ripped off last year. One store I went to had 3 different versions of Blade runner. I have already got the alien set the one I want to get next is the original Xfiles series. I only really like the first 2 seasons. |
