OT: the best time loop ?

[David E. Gervais]

Grrrrr, someone had to mention BladeRunner eh? One of my favorite movies, but no longer available in it's Great Original Theatrical release. (With Harrison Ford Narrating) Now the only Version you(I) can find is the stinky, bland, boaring, Director's Cut. That IMHO is but a shadow of the original. I don't mind a Director's Cut Version, but don't remove the original. I'd like to see how sales would compare if the Origial Version was available for sale at the same time as the Director's Cut. I bet the Original would out sell the DC Version by at least 4-1. (That would be very satisfying, to have the director find out his Version sucks, and that he never should have changed a Great movie into a mediocre one.)

Oh well, nuf said.

Cheers!

P.S. BTW My vote goes for Final Countdown, with GHD a close second.

Ah, one of my favourite episodes! "What are you smiling at?" *dreaming* "…Nothing…"

I thought that Total Recall was real and not fantasy. Quail (Schwarzenegger) knew it was real when that psychologist guy came and told him to swallow the pill, but he was sweating with fear.

Has anybody read the Total Recall book by Piers Anthony? I haven't read it, so I don't know how close it is to the movie.

Doesn't mean a thing. For one thing, it could have been part of the software to make him sweat when a gun is pointed at him. For another, he probably *was* afraid- not for his life but because he was about to lose a customer to psychosis which would be bad for business and probably for his own job.

Quaid had lost it, he was living in a dream world. Best place for him too.

The SG1 episode where Jack and Teal'c lived the same day over and over was titled "WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY" from season 4. My favorite part was when they both learned to juggle while helping Daniel translate the pictures of the inscriptions.

Funniest part of that SG1 episode was when Jack and Teal'c open the gate and bring the golf bag. First is Teal'c in golf clothes. Second is Jack swatting balls through the gate. He asks Teal'c how far the planet is on the other end, and it's something like 80,000 light years.

Jack: "That's got to be a record"

I agree with you 200%!! Give me the original Version of Blade Runner and the Director's Cut. They do this for other movies; I don't understand why they can't for BR. I haven't bought the dvd. I"m holding out for the original Version. Once I get that, if it's not a combined dvd, then I'll get the director's cut. Unless the director has the say on which Version can be released?
