Bladerunner SUUCKS T_T

Xanithe 2005-09-09 17:19:07 ET I finally got my copy of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the other day, and read the entire book in a day. Then today I watched bladerunner for the first time, and realized.. HOLY SHIT THAT MOVIE SUCKS. No Mercer, no Buster and his friendly friends, and no empathy box! WTF?! That has to be the worst change from movie to book I've ever seen. Roy is.. however, a badass.

psychovore 2005-09-09 17:27:25 ET I've yet to see a book movie that didn't lose something integral in its' translation from the pages. Still, although nowhere near as powerful as the book, I thought bladerunner as a movie managed to incorporate some pretty powerful mental imagery. Which reminds me, I need to go back to the library and finish reading the sequel.

SubSonik 2005-09-09 19:51:02 ET I love that book. and I've never seen blade runner. Now I have no motivation to see bladerunner.

nuclear fallout 2005-09-09 20:33:25 ET The name of that book kind of reminds me of "Are Friends Electric?" Yeah. Anyways.. I will definitely have to check out that book someday. <3

Xanithe 2005-09-10 08:22:59 ET Well, books always lose something when going to movie, however, Do Androids? Lost some of the main things about it that made it such a good sci-fi/philosophy book.

doktor242 2005-09-10 08:35:28 ET there's definitely very little in common between the two. I love them both though.

death by design 2005-12-10 08:13:22 ET the same thing happened for me when i saw Equilibrium BEFORE i saw THX... for shame! Sure equilibrium was slicker but what a rip off! "whats wrong? .. what's wrong?" "you know I don't feel well..."
