It's an official sequel, so I'm a little nervous, but I'll definitely see it.

With Harison Ford?

Yeah, he said no at first, then read the screenplay and agreed to be in it.

Which version? I loved the theatrical release, even with the corny voice-over by Ford. Gave it that film noir feel. Then when it came out on DVD it was the "Director's Cut" where he removed the voice over, changed the ending (the theatrical ending left it up in the air how much time she had left).

Well, I guess that answers *that* question; he can't be a replicant because, surely, they don't live to 70. I doubt that Sean Young would be in it (last thing I remember her in was Ace Ventura). So they'll probably say she died fairly young (not as young as the others).

The final cut on blu ray. It was great, no voiceover, no car ride at the end. You should probably cover the other post as 'spoiler'

The film noir feel was to be further emphasised by casting Robert Mitchum in the lead. Even with Ford cast, he was to wear a fedora which was reconsidered because it was felt he would look too "Indiana Jones"-ish.

To each his own.

The film was dark enough with the eye gouging, Batty breaking Deckard's fingers, etc. that I didn't mind a little ray of sunshine at the end.

And as for "spoilers", the film's got to be nearly 30 years old, top-10 sci fi of all time and if you haven't seen it by now it's not important to you.

Speaking of spoilers, at a midnight showing of The Force Awakens a projector malfunction caused it to skip a large portion of the film right to the big spoilery part.

Don't even say anything further about the Force Awakens. Please. I'm begging you.

I went to see the Force Awakens yesterday with my 6 year old daughter and she got really scared, she had seen the 3 original movies as well. Her 9 year old brother did turn to her and told her to suck it up but she did hold my arm for most of the movie.

Great movie, now we only have to wait until May 2017 to get some answers.

I have given nothing away. If anything, this talk has made you more careful as it appears spoilers are everywhere.

She's seen the original 3 Star Wars (and only got scared when Han shot Greedo, because it surprised her), and has seen the first Hobbit movie. She used to get scared at some stuff but now seems OK. I told her if I take her, she'll need to be tough and sit through the whole thing, because I'd hate to have to go tell her to wait outside while Daddy finishes the movie.

I didn't see this advertised anywhere, but a 90-minute Sherlock (Benedict Cummerbatch) holiday special is on tonight on PBS. It's set in the late 19th century (so it's gotta be a Moffat written episode, he did that a lot with Doctor Who).
