That artwork is fantastic.

It's a bit embarrassing, but I watched Blade Runner for the first time yesterday (got the blu-ray version of amazon) and it was very fun seeing that design artwork and concept sketches by him shown in the documentary that came with it. :)

Why haven't I heard about this guy sooner?!


What?! No Blade Runner until moments ago? DAMN.

Yeah, not really sure how to explain it but there's tons of well known movies, classics even, that I just haven't seen yet. I'd like to think that this is because my family never has been that into watching movies. And with friends I've mostly seen newer stuff, I guess.

It's a bit like a PC gamer not having played Half-Life I suppose...(though I have played that at least) :mrgreen:

Also I blow my money on other stuff, mostly.

There are tons of "famous" films/movies I have never watched (and I am a film buff!). I don't know when (if ever) I'll watch them now unless my daughter wants to watch it. 

The same thing applies to video games, as well...there are entire generations/platforms that I've barely explored. I simply tell myself that I will get to that stuff "in the future"...

Don't feel bad, I've never watched any of the Godfather movies and some people think I'm committing a crime against cinema or something.  All in time, which may or may not ever come.  I've seen references to it parodied so much I wonder if I could even take the originals seriously at this point.

Well worth your time seeing Godfather...in case you needed me to encourage you. 

On that note, I have never seen Casablanca. Well, I fell asleep during it. I want to watch it...

Holy sh*t, you are in for a treat. Great stuff, and I'm not the sort of person who would endorse a boxing film...but I even like the cheesy ones (where Stallone? mentors up-and-coming "Tommy Gun").

I HAVE NEVER SEEN:
Iron Man/Marvel films. Don't care.
Pirates of Caribbean series. Whatever.
99% of the stuff you love.

How dare you say that?   

but hey, they aren't that bad (for new movies)^^

But never seen a Rocky movie is like never played -=R-TYPE=- on PC Engine.

I've seen Rocky, but it was only until a couple years back. Like others have said, definitely a treat. Watched them in a marathon with a few friends one night. We only got through the 4th one, but those are all the good ones anyway from what I hear.

OT: Sid Mead! Always loved his work! I want to buy his art to decorate my future house with.
