I just attempted to watch Blade Runner: The Director's Cut. I say "attempted" because I had to turn it off. Too gruesome for me. And the movie itself generally sucked in my opinion. I was surprised because I have been hearing how great it is from fellow sci-fi fans for years. I finally sit down to watch it and I get confused, bored and then grossed out. No thank you.
Speaking of adventures (and I wasn't), I am not sure if I want to take Punkin to see the new Indiana Jones movie that's coming out on May 22. (Oooh...I see they're including Abner Ravenwood - he's supposed to be dead!) I guess I'll have to see it first and screen it for her. Oh, the things I do for her! She had a hard time with all the blood and face melting in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's ironic because I was about her age when my dad took me to see that very movie in the theater. I remember getting just as freaked out.
Rise and fall, turn the wheel cause all life
Is really just a circle.
Thanks for that wisdom, Big Head Todd.

Blade Runner may be my favorite sci fi movie. Definitely top 3. I haven't seen the new director's cut.
I don't remember it being gruesome at all. I guess the opening scene has some gore, but that's about it. You should definitely give it a second shot. The non-director's cut has a few voice-overs to explain what's going on.
(BTW, this latest and supposed final director's cut is third director's cut.)
