   _ Blade Runner _ is one of my favorite movies of all time, with only two   
   acts of mercy in the whole film, one by mistake (Gaff letting Rachel live,   
   thinking she was lifespan-limited).   
      
   So I finally sat down with the DVD of _ Blade Runner 2049 _, and I tried,   
   Ubiq knows I tried, to watch it, but I gave up after an hour and a half   
   (into about 2:40).   
      
   In that time, and being as charitable as possible, there might've been a   
   half-hour's worth of plot.   
      
   The eye-candy and score were both inferior to the original.   
      
   And everybody kept talking in these flat, hushed monotones all through,   
   like they were in a fucking cathedral or something (and not one on fire).   
      
   A treatment like this would've made even my suggested sequel, based on   
   Cordwainer Smith's "The Dead Lady of Clown Town", dull.   
      
   --   
      
   _ Tremors 5 _ sucked too.
