But the short story on which it is based ("We Remember It For You Wholesale") is so much better. I don't care how much money the studio made, I don't think the screenplay was good, whereas the screenplay for 'Blade Runner' was excellent.Originally Posted by struth

I thought the more recent remake much better as a film but as I haven't read the story I don't know if its closer to the original story or not.

The various versions (seven of them!) are discussed here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner. For what it's worth, I prefer the latest, final 'ultimate' director's cut, but my ideal version would be the footage of the 'ultimate' version with the voice-over of the original theatre version.

i meant Total Recall
I like the first version of BR, with the Noir voice over.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
