Japablum Recommends: Blade Runner: The Final Cut



It is a truth universally acknowledged that Blade Runner is the best movie ever made. We think Jane Austen was the first to say that, and Japablum wholely concurs. Well, after years and years and years of waiting, all Blade Runner obsessives are about to have one hell of a Fall and Winter. Right now, the "final cut" of the film--including fixes to continuity problems, an extended eye-gouging scene (finally!), and Daryl Hanna picking up Harrison Ford by his nostrils--is in theatres in New York and L.A. Japablum has been walking into walls in anticipation, and we weren't dissapointed when we visited New York's Ziegfeld theater on Saturday 10/6 to drink in all the sci-fi majesty on the big screen once again.

Better yet, the Final Cut will finally be given the multi-DVD release treatment. From brmovie.com:

"There are SEVEN different DVD sets on pre-order at present (in the US - I wish I could say all countries would have exactly the same releases, but it seems I can't) - which you choose will depend on where you stand on the range of "like the movie" to "totally obsessed" (like me). What you get depends on whether you want 2, 4 or 5 discs, Standard DVD, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray and if you want the super-everything including collectibles briefcase or not (I'm not kidding)."




No, he's not kidding, and Japablum has already ordered the Blade Runner Final Cut Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition, which comes in a silver briefcase modeled after the one Harrison Ford's Deckard carried around. What? We need a new one for work. It's not weird. Shut up.

The Blade Runner DVD extravaganza hits the streets on December 18. An excruciatingly long time to wait, but whatever. Japablum will not be leaving the house until that date so that we can be sure not to get hit by a truck before that sweet package arrives on our doorsteps. We recommend you do the same.
