Yeaaaa, pretty easy decision, especially with the '88 version of The Blob

I actually prefer this version lol one of the few instances where I prefer the remake

As good as it maybe visual and music wise, I still find Blade Runner a bit overrated. Like the story itself just isn't that engaging. Hear good things about the Blob remake and would love to live in a world where a film starring Shawnee Smith beat Blade Runner

 

[Marty McFourth]

Yeah Blade Runner is just all kinds of awesome. 2049 is incredible as well. Absoutely love the world and atmosphere.

If you don't like Blade Runner, you're probably a moron. Pretty simple.
