RCA and Atari are dead? You can find all sorts of RCA (labeled) products all over the place: remotes, TV antennas, etc. And “Atari” is promising to ship a new game console this year. As in 2019.
Love their fact checking.
Apologies if this has been linked to before in a different thread, but this seemed like a good place to post this.
It’s a 45 minute long assortment of alternate and deleted scenes from Blade Runner, uploaded to youtube in September 2018. These scenes may appear in some of the many different “cuts”, but there are many which are brand new to me.
Link.
For one thing, there’s a scene where Deckard visits an injured man in a hospital bed (the interviewer who Leon blew up? I’m not clear), and the man is reading Treasure Island. Deckard made a reference to Treasure Island in Blade Runner: 2049.
Interesting stuff. But way too much of the kind of cheesy narration.
For the record, I didn’t like the movie the first time I saw it either. Then I saw it a second time, expecting it to stay bad, and suddenly it was a great film.
Sometimes films are ruined by having the wrong or excessive expectations.
Wow, I thought I knew everything about BR. I’ve never seen any of that.
By the way Original Flavor BR was cut, I always joked they made a 120 minute movie out of 119 minutes of film. I figured, if they had filmed any more scenes that would help clean it up, they would have used them.
But that is a TON of footage! They went to all the trouble of creating the sets, filming it, even doing voice over, and it was all tossed.
Movie making is fascinating. I can’t say if the film would have been better or worse with some or all of that footage, but it would have been different. That voice over gave too much away. While I prefer the narration, the one in the missing scenes video is just too much. Less is truly more (but in my opinion, for BR, none is too little).
Wow, thanks! Hadn’t seen most of that before. Yes, that’s Holden in the life-support bed; he was Deckard’s successor as a blade runner and the guy whom Leon, the replicant, shot in the opening scene of the movie.
The two alternative endings certainly add a bit more fuel to the fire of the “Was Deckard a replicant?” debate.
RCA was bought and dismantled by GE in the 1980’s today Sony own’s the trademark and sells the right to produce under the name but the company no longer exists.
A similar thing happened to Atari after the early 80’s gaming market crash. The name is all that really exist and changes owners often.
So you missed the “labeled” in parentheses and the “Atari” in quotes?
Anyway, thanks for telling me what I already know. 
Bumped.
Are there any black characters in BR? I know there are at least two in BR 2049 - one of the replicant prostitutes who approach K, and the orphanage manager in the long coat.
looking at the cast in imdb it sure doesn’t look like it. There are a few cast without pictures.
Maybe they all found new life in the offworld colonies.
