Seems like jtb did. But then again I don't think I've seen him say anything positive about any film before. I mean, this dude hates Back To The Future.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

That's fine, but to ignore everything else and say the film sucks because the philosophy isn't all that complex, is a load of shit. That's something I'd see in a high school essay.
Comparing Sucker Punch to Blade Runner...
Speed Racer also sucks
I wasn't, I was just thinking that attitude towards assessing a film's merits to be oddly familiar. For the record I think BR is a good movie (for reasons up to and including its visuals and music lol).

The only way you could improve that avatar is by placing Claire's face over the bat logo.

The idea of ignoring key elements of games is bizarre to me
"who fuckin cares about the graphics"
when they're trying to make me care by presenting me with some, then it matters
Yup
"who cares about the story"
"this film has no plot"
"Just turn your brain off"
Makes me cringe anytime I see these.

Blade Runner explores humanity really well. So it's not just great for the atmosphere it creates, though that is a major reason why I love the movie. It's a great film.
I agree that the matrix is an example of skin deep use of philosophical concepts. I'm saying that Blade Runner presents a small handful of philosophical questions and then doesn't explore them at all. It's not complicating that question or nuancing them. It's handled tastefully enough; no architect speeches here.
It's not even exclusively a question of depth, the surface level ideas aren't really presented in interesting or clever ways (imo, obviously), you take it all in at face value because the film tells you to and that's fine. I wouldn't call it a weakness of the film, I wouldn't call it a strength.
I don't think Blade Runner is a bad film. I think it's unremarkable. It's middle of the road. Not a great sci-fi film, not a great noir film, and just the fact that it puts both together isn't enough to compensate for that. One of the most beautiful films ever made. I think a simple slasher film like Alien explores its ideas in far more interesting and clever ways than Blade Runner.
I have my mum helping me with this looooool, I am so sad and pathetic
EDIT: THANKS EMIL (AND MUM) FOR YOUR HELP <3
Don't feel bad man. I wish my ma knew how to do that stuff.
Heck, maybe she does, but most of the time she just pretends she doesn't understand what the computer is doing, then she guilts me into doing her homework for her.

I like to think that in some way the amount of times I've typed out the word philosophy in the last hour would satisfy Gahl.

I wonder what is jtb's favourite film.
I bet it's something from Malick or Spielberg, lol

I think I do need a plot in movies too, but I also didn't find Blade Runner to completely lack any as some suggests. There was things going on, but I can enjoy a not so great plot if something else makes up for it, bladerunner had a decent plot and other things going for it. Which made it fairly good. Boyhood barely had anything other than "boy grows up", and I still really liked that, and I can't even tell you what I actually liked about it.
My mom is fairly competent with a computer, my dad however is a fucking idiot as soon as there's some problem solving involved. He will call me to ask the most simple things. I tried to teach him how to google stuff, but he refuses, he's like Wilbur when there's some subject he refuses to know anything about, he will just end up saying "well it's easier if you do it".
and when there's virus on his computer he has always been on websites with url's about fucking machines.

He would enjoy the philosophy of Blade Runner. The philosophy is the process that constantly evaluates humans/his staff, steering the viewer/team to victory and enlightenment. From the Voight-Kampff test that reveals the nature of a being/player (though flawed that made him rethink RVP's character), to the chess game that shows the arrogance of a powerful being/Rooney that will eventually lead to its extinction.
Gaal would love this movie. He, after all, loves beautiful football.
Messi might leave Spain because of tax issues?
Wenger was talking about Messi this morning?
Welcome to Arsenal, Lionel.

As always, Arsenal are too late. The tapping up has already started. This was in London this week.

Yeah. That will stop 'em.

"Chelsea will beat Tottenham to 23-year-old HNK Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric in January. (Daily Star)"
How tired are you of seeing that, Scum?

You are right. Cesc is probably fucking Messi's wife.

Beating Spurs to a 23 year old guy from the Croatian league though.
Messi is impotent due to drug abuse, he will move to Chelsea to have someone he can trust, like Fabregas, satisfy her needs.

Also missed out on Barton m8.
As a side note, the search phrase "players wenger could have signed" was auto suggested to me by Google.

missing out on Mata still hurts 
I don't really know, to be honest. changes a lot. probably have to go with Die Hard or After Hours or like... one of the Charlie Kaufman films (not synecdoche though)
I do love Fincher, Spielberg, and Malick though. I'd say "who doesn't?" but I know a lot of people harbor an irrational hatred towards Spielberg because he's one of the very few directors who can actually pull off a sentimental story.

I like Spielberg and Fincher. Fincher has had a better 10 years than Spielberg, but Spielberg's career is pretty incredible.
Has made a lot of shit recently though.
Malick is Malick.
Not bothered about missing out on Mata. Rather have Ozil in the middle and our wide options are better than him. He'd be an upgrade on Santi though.

It's bad but it's not quite De Gea/Cartman
It's actually 10x worse because he's shaved his face and left the neck
Passive neckbeard > active neckbeard
Can't argue with maths
did you watch that Abraham Lincoln film Malick's so-called "protege" made? I thought it was getting festival buzz but I guess it didn't get particularly good reviews because it's got a pretty terrible rating on RT right now
edit: "the better angels." I don't even know if it's been released yet

You're wrong.
But speaking of neckbeards, Morganella from palermo really needs to sort out his shit.
This is the guy who under the olympics in 2012 tweeted "I want to beat up all South Koreans! Bunch of mentally handicapped retards!".
Gonna disagree with you here. I think he deserves dap, if only because he's taken this grotesque shit as far as humanly possible, with probably zero pretension that it looks good. On the other hand, Hazard and De Gea are young, just sprouting some pubes, talented players. The former probably sees that armpitfacestrap he's rocking and stops to stroke his chin in the mirror.
