Merrick here...

This information was in a pile of stuff that was waiting to be posted throughout the last week or so. Problem is: we've been having irritating server issues over the last week or so...and posting was frequently a challenge, if not impossible. So, sorry this is a tad late...but...it's not too late for most folks.

Darwin Dissects BLADE RUNNER: FINAL CUT!!


Merrick here...


With Darwin's take on BLADE RUNNER: FINAL CUT. You can read another perspective on the film HERE.

I can't believe they changed Roy's "I want more life, fucker" to "I want more life, father." The "fucker" says so much more...shows so much more simmering anger, etc. Maybe they were trying to soften him a little?

A VERY Cool Sci-Fi Commercial Airs During Tonight’s AFI 100 YEARS/100 MOVIES On CBS!!

I am – Hercules!!


From a VERY reliable source:

CBS has a 3-hour special tonight titled “AFI’s 100 Years/100 Movies.”

We have exclusive word that wedged between all those “Star Wars,” “Raiders,” “Godfather” and “Casablanca” clips will be a one-minute commercial touting a new DVD release. (We’re told it will ultimately be a new DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray release, if that’s any clue.)

This is a new DVD release for one of the most beloved sci-fi movie classics of all time. Its commercial contains newly-shot, never-before-seen footage. Every sofa in every parent’s basement in America should fear the potential deluge of geek urine, we are told.
