Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I picked up a DVD of the 'director's cut' for 6 quid when I was last in London. I've been waiting for the right evening (darker, without interruptions) to strip off the cellophane.

ah so no voiceover and the subplot that explains certain important details put back in. (plus the bit of the shining taken out)

Ha.  I wonder if Izzy made the director's cut?

they must have been her own shoes, can you imagine them trying to get the shoes they'd lent her back at the end of a days filming? ;-)

She has already had half this blog skinning their eyes on that movie frame by frame*, and no one has ever found her.

But the director's cut, now...

These will go in any era. We used to have a name for these shoes when I was a horny young man in my mid twenties, but I can't say it on this family site.

Where's your sense of adventure? We also have to remember redemption. Why should we be still punished for mistakes we made when we young? Oh, but I forgot, you are still breaking wind en famille so you haven't grown out of that younger personality yet ;-)

Believe me; it's a shock when I look at myself in the mirror each morning.

Emphasizing Deckard's struggle to find his own identity, and so provoke the audience to feel as he does in their struggle to grasp Deckard's identity, and ultimately to question their understanding of how we can know our humanity is different, and how we can know at all (cf. epistemology). If the audience ignores the answer until the end, and the characters do not know it either, then the story again provokes the audience, and the characters, to ask: What is the difference between being human and being non-human, if I can be either, and I need someone else to tell me which I am?

Your skinned eyes are not my fault!  I already told you you can't see me in it.  Oh, well.  I send apologies anyway.  To tell the truth, I've never seen the director's cut.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

I skinned my eyes, too! So that Sven does it, too: it should be the scene when Dekker chases the female android into the glass windows.
