Far Cry wasnt horrible either.

Fire in the hole- Rosie Perez

Love that show.

An analogous show is the round table discussions from The Hollywood Reporter on YouTube.

It’s not as casual and lighthearted as Dinner For Five, but it’s the closes replacement I’ve found so far.

Honestly I thought the sequel was way better, give it a shot

>or you think when I said cyberpunk I meant Cyberpunk 2077 (which is also stupid, but not mind bogglingly so).

I referenced it because it was one of the largest video game releases in history and is heavily inspired by Blade Runner. So much so it includes several direct references to it. You can read about the origins of the IP here.

The rest of the Cyberpunk genre is of course also heavily influenced by Blade Runner. Clearly not niche or some "ghetto of science fiction". It's influence goes far beyond just that sub-genre as I already pointed out.

>“‘Blade Runner’ is simply one of those cinematic drugs, that when I first saw it, I never saw the world the same way again,” Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro told one interviewer, when describing why “Blade Runner” was one of his five favorite films of all-time.

>Del Toro wasn’t alone. For a whole generation of filmmakers — including the cinematographers, productions designers and visual effects artists — a direct line can be drawn between “Blade Runner” and the imagery of modern sci-fi movie.

I've provided ample evidence that flies in the face of your claims. At this point you're either actually this stupid or a troll. In which case it's pointless to consider further conversation.

If you aren't a troll, you'd do well to just admit when you're wrong.

unless it's Postal. you have to see Postal.

I didn't make it to the final battle before turning off.

"You finding it boring says a lot about you and your ability to think about these things."

Okay, a few things here.

I said that she keeps the film morally in check and that without her, the film doesn't shine a light on the bad and illegal stuff going on in the world. If I didn't have the ability to think about these things, I wouldn't of made that point.

Secondly, I think it's naive to say that people don't know this sort of stuff goes down. I would take a guess and say that you are probably aware that a lot of shady shit goes on around the world. There's literally thousands of films, TV series, video games and books that touch on this subject in a number of different ways. And the reality is that this stuff does go down all over the world, there's bad guys, and bad guys to fight the bad guys.

And in terms of "I'm fine with it or don't want to think about it", I don't know how you can read my mind but no, I don't think that these things that happen in the world are morally right or justifiable under the guise of 'cool black ops shit', but I can however acknowledge that it goes on in terms of the films narrative. I don't really understand how you can say that to a stranger on the internet, I mean, are you doing anything in your life to think about and make changes on the subject of torture, the drug trade? If so, great, but I highly doubt it, so that's kind of a put your money where your mouth is statement to say to me that "I'M fine with it".

I agree that it is a morality tale, but sometimes you don't need someone to hold your hand throughout the film to state or constantly show you that what's going on is wrong or immoral. That's what frustrated me about Kate in the film, her consistently every ten minutes reminding the audience that what's going on isn't okay just felt like pandering at times. That's my only very small complaint about the film.

In the second film, I cannot fathom how anyone could watch the film and not think that you know what they're doing is illegal or immoral. The scene where Alejandro guns down that politician or lawyer in the street should immediately jump out at you. I mean, if you placed Kate or someone who had to play the role of the morality police in the second film, I highly doubt it would of been a better film.

And to be honest, the fact that Kate is defeated in the first film and there isn't someone in the second film doing the same thing speaks volumes more to me in terms of morality, because it shows that this is a constant revolving door in the world of endless violence and immoral acts and that there aren't enough morally "good" people like Kate who can get high enough (position wise) to stop these sorts of things from happening or make real change.

while i always enjoy the movie, but yeah non of the Actors even tried to act really good

and most of them are normally very good actors

but you can´t expect much from someone so untalented as UWE BOLL

That final battle where she and her dad just basically stand in one place but she is always spinning snd swinging super slowly as they "fight"... like this is the epic showdown and he is supposed to be a vampire lord and he is jusy standing their lazily blocking.

And still almost beats her. Like...what...

Seeing only a few clips of an Uwe Boll movie one might think, they could reach so bad it's good territory.

However his pacing is all over the place and those things just end up dragging. It's really weird how he manages to make a movie that is "sexy redhead vampire chick fights a lot of vampires" so boring instead of mindless fun.

Yah, that was a cinematic suppository as all Uwe Boll's movies are.

It's one of Uwe Boll's better films, which means...it's one of his least sucky ones lol.

One of the best film schools you can watch on line. There are poor transfers on YouTube, or VPN and prime

I'd pee my pants if Rod Stieger had ever looked me in the eye when he was alive.

It was over 20 years ago, no idea. I liked the moment rod steiger told sarah silverman she looked like geraldine chaplin

Uwe Boll is a crazy director. I think I watched House of the Dead 1 and 2 maybe once or twice each. But his Rampage movies though. Those are terrifying in a different way. Especially if you’ve been living in the US at least 10-15 years

What was ur favorite episode of D45? I have two. One is Carrie fisher,, Ed Asner, Blair underwood and Ed bagley Jr. Mosly bc Carrie fisher cracks me up

The other is with Jay Mohr, Timothy Olyphant, David Milch, and Michael Rappaport.

So funny

Pretty sure if either of them looked me in the eye I would too.

Yeah also pretty sure Ben Affleck and Jennifer garner fell in love on camera during their first meeting on dinner for five

Yeah friend next time you see Uwe Boll attached to a movie, consider it blood on the door.

Damn. U are so right, but he also had a knack for getting along with "old Hollywood" on that show. A persona that would probably not play today. Especially compared to the softball "Hollywood Reporter" roundtable everyone fawns over now. In retrospect you a 100% correct, D4F was a genius move. Still its amazing he was able to get those big names on that tiny indy show like he did 20 years ago. He's got/had the perfect personality for it.

It has a fabulous aesthetic. It’s a good story. Rutger Hauer is really great. It’s a full and complete world. It has a killer soundtrack. But I do think the movie has some pacing and plotting issues; it doesn’t live up to the insanely high quality of the visuals and vibe.

Well at least Ben Kingsley rules…

Right, DF5 was before Elf but he was well known. He vocalized a desire to be a legendary powerful mogul throughout the show. Part of his evolution was the show itself, as he broke bread with a lot of different people and famous friends on tv and could be seen by industry gatekeepers as a thoughtful and ambitious creative.

On Elf he spoke about how he based the first 40 minutes on Tootsie's scene lengths to copy that film's dynamic comedy pacing. So he's clever. The first Iron Man has the same methodical structure and rhythm; he knows how to build a story. I dont know if he's the only director who wouldve insisted on Downey but his unique indie/mainstream sensibility was decisive in creating Hollywood as we know it.
