      Sounds like a good case of confirmation bias.

        I haven't seen it.
        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Same slow-moving film with the dark and twisted futuristic world like the original that answers a few questions but creates a few more. I predict it will be a cult classic as well. I wonder if they will do a voice over version of 2049 and get Harrison Ford to get stoned again.
          Wasn't the voiceover version of Blade Runner the one that was released in the theaters?
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            I believe it was the original release.

            • Dune was another movie that was cut and released in multiple forms. Coincidentally, the director of the new Blade Runner is making a new Dune movie (probably two movies, actually). Dune is an incredible book and it's too bad that the 80s movie botched it so badly. It's a really great piece Sci-Fi IP that Hollywood hasn't bothered to touch in over 30 years, not counting the Sy-Fy tv series from a while back.

                Agree about Dune. Fantastic books.

                  Yes (and no). After mix reviews for the screening version Warner Bros. decided to bring Ford back in to add the voiceovers which became the theatrical cut.

I'd give ww a solid 2.5. incredibly dumb (like all superhero movies) and probably not worth the $2 or whatever i paid at the dollar theater, but it entertained me sufficiently and i enjoy hanging with the mrs, so I'd call it a success.
                    I actually agree with SMR. I was thoroughly disappointed with WW after getting caught up in all the pre-screening hype.

                      I enjoyed most of the Dune series though, it became a bit like Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, some of the later 1980s follow ups get a bit silly. I haven't read Brian Herbert's books. Have you? Are they worth reading?

                      I enjoyed Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and God Emperor of Dune. I don't remember Heretics of Dune or Chapterhouse Dune. Maybe I'll go back and re-read them.

                        Coming from two Utes, I can understand why you are in bed together.

                        I enjoyed it as much as one can enjoy a comic book made movie, especially since my wife went and enjoyed herself. I would rate it about a 7.

                        • Comic book movies are so dumb. No plans to see WW.

                          • I wasn't much impressed by WW, but I've talked with a few women of considerable intelligence who really liked it because of the feminist angle. It would be interesting to see a Rotten Tomatoes survey based on gender.

                              I know what you mean. I’ve seen a bunch of women on Facebook comment on how they were thrilled when they saw wonder woman’s thighs jiggle. “She’s one of us!”

                                Totally agree. Have only seen a few but they are stupid. I saw the Avengers because it was talked up so much. Really bad
