Blade Runner x 5

Keith and I took the opportunity of my infirmity and his unemployment to spend an entire day watching the special Blu-Ray edition of BLADE RUNNER. The set consists of five (5) versions of the film. After viewing all versions (those with short attention spans don't try this at home) we were able to discern several minor differences. I won't list them here, but suffice to say, the differences were enough for us to form opinions about the versions. Keith preferred the last FINAL CUT version, mainly because it corrected all the continuity problems. I prefered the INTERNATIONAL VERSION because it retained the nostalgic Deckard voice-over and kept the Shining ending, and because it looked the best on 1080p. I still think Deckard is a Replicant.
