NEWSFLASH: Gawker sites have actually improved a bit, so here's some other rant:
Blade Runner is quite possibly the best science fiction movie of all time, but of course no childhood memory is safe from dabbling and ruination by Hollywood.
Read the
io9 interview if you want, but the express take is a quote from Kosove:
First of all, we're paying for everything, but second of all — and this a way of answering maybe partially the concerns of your fans — this may work, or it may not work. We may make this movie, but in truth it may never get made.
Translation: "First, it's our money, and we're angling to use it to make more money. Second, we'll do what we want, including make fans nervous all day by simply trading upon the
Blade Runner name."
Thus, it is with a hearty FUCK YOU that I say, "Fuck you, Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, and Bud Yorkin. Fuck you with Replicant cock!"
Looks like Gawker sites are once again good for something. Their navigation is still as clunky as the afterbirth of a Daewoo and a Dodge, but it's a good thing they make enough of it eyecatching.
