I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
It's fine. There are worse things. But I was really glad that I saw it in theaters. I tried watching it at home (well, at a friend's home) once and I couldn't bother finishing the thing. Whatever it does well, it needs the big screen experience.tragabigzanda wrote:I've never seen Avatardurdencommatyler wrote:I'm pretty sure, after thinking about it, that it was Avatar.

I also think it holds no repeat viewing qualities. I saw it once at home and enjoyed it. Tried to watch it since with absolutely 0 luck.durdencommatyler wrote:It's fine. There are worse things.

There you go. That's totally possible. It's a pretty shallow film that doesn't really require your repeated attention. You kinda get it the first time.Strat wrote:I also think it holds no repeat viewing qualities. I saw it once at home and enjoyed it.

Re: Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
For this movie, though, it is about the scale. Picture quality too, yes, but you have that at home. But this is great on a HUGE screen, LV.LoathedVermin72 wrote:My TV > Dolby Cinema > IMAXVinylGuy wrote:i saw it on IMAX.
