His version of Wyatt Earp was pathetic, and it only looked worse next to Kurt Russell's...

I think it was Ben Stein that said if you fancy yourself a movie critic, and Bladerunner isn't in your top 5, you are a hack.
Couldn't agree more.

Tony Scott's "True Romance" is my favorite movie of all time.

I read an interesting story about the whole Alien prequels he is doing. He obviously had the chance to make Aliens before James Cameron but he was above doing sequels at that point in his career. Looking back he wishes he did sequels at the time. Although I personally think the first 4 all turned out good and I like the different takes on the franchise by different directors. Cameron went with full on 80s action movie. Then you have Fincher doing what he did with Alien 3 which was universally hated by fans because they were expecting another action movie and he gave them a prison planet with no weapons but in retrospect it's a great movie. And then the Jeunet/Joss Whedon Resurrection movie which I also think didn't get the respect it deserves. But I am interested to see where Ridley takes the series now

It's up there. There was some sort of re-relase several years ago. Maybe it was for an anniversary. Saw it on the big screen with great sound. Fun experience.

Apparently most here think he effed up the first one.

Just about flawless.
Imagine a story where both heroes and villains are equally beautiful.

I'm new here still, and I've been meaning to ask... Were any of the roads around here actually planned, or did they just sort of happen?

Prometheus-like, I bring news of such innovations as left turn signals that allow more than one car to pass per cycle, induction loops, and shoulders!! It is possible not to have the entire city shut down every time there's a Black Rain or a White Squall!!

Unless, of course, they let the cows set up the timing on the stop lights. That seems fairly likely, come to think of it.

The developers were allowed to build bazillions of houses without being required to upgrade the original farm roads (FM stands for Farm to Market)...
