Several months ago I’ve bought the CRL Blade Runner game in Commodore 64 version. A rarity and oldie, no doubt. Today, I won the ZX Spectrum version (I don’t known that exists!) on eBay. A nice addition to the games category related to Blade Runner.

Cannot resist to say that. I have it! The Final Cut, Spanish Edition, is in my hands! This morning, 10:00 AM, I’ve bought it in FNAC store. This is my first pic (cellular one, not so bad). Then, a period of relax and enjoy will follow….
¡Ya está aquí!

For years, the soundtrack to Blade Runner held legendary status among fans of Greek synthesist Vangelis. Except for a few cuts on the Themes compilation, it had never been released on vinyl or CD, although there was an orchestral version of the score. But in 1994, 22 years after Vangelis composed the dark, edgy soundtrack to director Ridley Scott’s archetypal science fiction thriller, the music of Blade Runner came out in all its cybernoir glory.
Amazon
Vangelis couched his electrosymphonic score in percussive rhythms and shadowed timbres. Effectively interpolating dialogue from the film, the CD moves from the threatening tension of “Blush Response” to the ethereal wordless vocal of Mary Hopkin over a water-drop synthesizer sequence on “Rachel’s Song.” A few tracks, notably “Love Theme” with Dick Morrisey’s smarmy saxophone solo, drip with Hollywood sentimentality, but Vangelis quickly wipes that away with the hyperdrive of “Blade Runner (End Titles).”

Durante años la banda sonora de Blade Runner tuvo estado de leyenda entre los aficionaods del sintetizador griego Vangelis. Exceptuando algunos cortes en su compilación Themes, nunca se publicó en vinilo o CD, aunque existía una versión orquestal. Pero en 1994, 22 años después, Vangelis compuso la oscura banda sonora para el trhiller de ciencia-ficción arquetípico de Ridley Scott, la música de Blade Runner llegano a su gloria cyberoscura.
Amazon / trad. MBR
Vangelis basa su composición eletrosinfónica en ritmos de percursión y timbres sombreados. Interpolando diálogos de la película de una forma efectiva, el CD va desde la tensión de “Blush Response” a la etérea vocalización sin letra de Mary Hopkins en una secuencia sintetizada en “Rachel’s Song” Unas cuantas pistas, destacando “Love Theme” con el cálido solo de saxofón de Dick Morrisey caen el sentimentalismo de Hollywood, pero Vangelis cambia rápidamente de forma con el hiperrápido “Blade Runner (End Titles).”

Trivia: Around 2000-2001 Ridley Scott put together a third cut of the movie, which came very close to being released. This did not happen because Jerry Perenchio, who co-owns the rights to Blade Runner with Bud Yorkin refused to allow it.
Goofs:
Miscellaneous: A hand is visible on Batty’s shoulder while he is in the phone booth. This is a reversed shot from later in the film when Batty meets Tyrell.
Continuity: The first shot of Batty’s hand clenching up includes the nail, not inserted until later. The window in that scene is also visible, broken, before he breaks it.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: Rachael’s claim that the owl is real.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: Deckard’s conversation with the snake merchant.
Continuity: Deckard’s instructions to the Esper machine aren’t consistent with its behavior.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: Zhora’s wounds appear before the sound of the bullets hitting her.
Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt player when Zhora crashes through the glass walls.
Continuity: When Deckard and Bryant are reviewing the video from Leon’s VK empathy test, the dialogue between Leon and Holden is not as fast as it was in the original scene.
Revealing mistakes: When Zhora crashes through the glass walls, the trigger for the blood packs can be seen in her right hand, as well as the line snaking through her clothes.
Revealing mistakes: Support cables for spinner.
Miscellaneous: The sheet music that Rachael reads does not match the song that she plays on the piano (not least because it is for guitar). She could, of course, be playing from memory and not referring to the music at all.
Crew or equipment visible: Shadow of a camera crew when Deckard is being chased by Batty through the Bradbury building.
Continuity: When the street vendor is examining the snake scale, the serial number she reads out loud doesn’t match the number on her video screen.
Revealing mistakes: When Deckard takes out the VK machine to test Rachel, he mimes the action. The machine is already on the table.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Sebastian is talking to Batty about his chess game with Tyrell, the shot is focused on Batty, but Sebastian’s chin and lower lip are visible, and you can see that it does not move in sync with the words you can hear him saying.
Continuity: Pris’ hair is wet while outside the Bradbury building but it is dry the next moment inside the building.
Continuity: After Pris is killed by Deckard, Batty arrives outside Sebastian’s apartment and his hair is dry. A few seconds later when he enters the apartment and finds Pris, his hair is soaking wet.
Continuity: The positions of the chess pieces in Sebastian’s board does not match Tyrell’s board positions.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: The chess game between Sebastian and Tyrell is based on “The Immortal Game” between Adolf Anderssen and Kieserizky in 1851. The board setup in the movie does not match the actual game. And also Sebastian’s board doesn’t match Tyrell’s.
Continuity: The photo of Zhora that Deckard prints is of her reflection in a mirror, so the tattoo that is ostensibly on her left cheek is actually on her right cheek: when he rolls her head over after retiring her, however, it is on her left cheek.
Continuity: In the opening interview with Leon, Leon states: “Let me tell you about my mother…” Later, when Deckard reviews the video (in the tunnel) Leon is heard saying “I’ll tell you about my mother…” (DVD, director’s cut version).
Continuity: When the images of Zhora and Pris are first shown, their descriptions are the reverse of the characters roles in the movie.
Continuity: The cut on Deckard’s cheek disappears and reappears between shots when the cops find him eating.
Continuity: When Deckard is in Zhora’s dressing room there is no tattoo on her left cheek, as is seen in the photograph printed from the Esper. As she flees there is no tattoo. However when her body is rolled over after he shoots her it is clearly visible.
Continuity: When Pris meets Sebastian, the visible words on the marquee on the Million Dollar Theatre change from “Azores Garcia…Vidas” to “Los Mimilo Co..Mazacote Y Orque”.
Continuity: When we see Zhora getting dressed after her shower, her boots have high heels. However when Deckard is chasing her the heels are flat. This is most obvious when she rolls over after he shoots her.
Audio/visual unsynchronized: The note that Deckard plays on the grand piano is not the note we hear.
Revealing mistakes: When Roy Batty, and Leon enter “Eye World” to interrogate Hannibal Chew (the eye-maker) the environment is supposed to be so cold that it will kill Hannibal without his protective suit, yet there is water dripping from the icicles on the ceiling.
Continuity: When Deckard is in his apartment examining the photograph of Rachael as a young girl with her mother, two photographs are shown. The first is a physical photograph that Deckard holds in his hands, the second is a supposed close-up of the same photo that comes to life for a brief instant. The position of the shadows in the shots show they were captured at slightly different times of day.
Continuity: In the final sequence on the rooftop between Deckard and Batty, Batty releases a bird he is holding while it is raining. When we cut to a shot of the bird flying away, the bird is not flying in rain, the sky is cloudless. Director Scott admitted that when he filmed the rooftop scene, he forgot to get a proper shot of the bird flying and had to film it much later. Due to the rain effects employed during the original shoot, the dove refused to fly (doves do not fly in wet weather) to give the director his desired shot. Consequently, the “dove-flying-away” sequence had to be shot at a later date.
Revealing mistakes: When Zhora is thrashing Deckard in her dressing room, she misses, and he pauses, then flies backwards as though struck hard.
Continuity: In Deckard’s apartment, the color of Rachael’s lipstick changes from red to pink/natural and back several times.
Continuity: When Deckard and Pris are fighting in Sebastian’s apartment, in some shots we see Pris clearly wearing nude pantyhose that give her legs a matte look, while in other shots her legs are bare and shiny with sweat.
Factual errors: When the owl flies across the room, its wings can be heard flapping. However, owls are nocturnal hunters and the sound of flapping wings would scare away their prey. Their muffled wings and dull feathers allow them to fly silently.
Plot holes: Near the end of the final scene of the film, when Deckard is fighting Roy, Deckard goes into an abandoned apartment filled with pigeons. The movie clearly states that real animals are worth millions if not billions because they are near extinction. Thus there would not be an apartment worth billions of dollars worth of pigeons, someone would have taken them for profit.
Revealing mistakes: The opening scroll suggests that the Blade Runner unit was formed as a reaction to the Nexus 6 replicants, while in the movie itself it is clear that the Blade Runners like Deckard precede the development of the Nexus 6.
Continuity: The movie theater/theater across the Bradbury building when Pris and Sebastian meet initially shows different names when shown in the background of Pris, and a minute later in the background of Sebastian.
Continuity: When Pris paints her eyes at Sabastian’s the color changes from scene to scene.
Revealing mistakes: During the fight scene between Deckard and Leon there’s a point where Deckard gets thrown into the windshield of a car. However, when he is thrown and still in the air you can clearly see the windshield is already smashed with the imprint of his body, before he ever hits the actual glass.
Continuity: When we see Deckard waiting for his noodles, he is reading that day’s newspaper. Later in Leon’s apartment, the same newspaper, except it is old and soiled, is seen in one of the drawers. We know they are the same since both newspapers have the same headline about farming on the moon.
Quotes: Deckard: Gaff had been there, and let her live. Four years, he figured. He was wrong. Tyrell had told me Rachael was special. No termination date. I didn’t know how long we had together… Who does?
Awards: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 7 wins & 14 nominations

Trivial: Entre 2000 y 2001 Ridley Scott realizó un tercer montaje de la película, el cual se parecía bastante al que sería publicado. Esto no fue así por Jerry Prenchio, el cual es copropietario de los derechos de Blade Runner, si no porque Bud Yorkin refusó permitirlo.
Fallos:
Miscelánea: Puede verse una mano en el hombro de Batty mientras está en la cabina de teléfono. Es una toma invertida que aparece más adealnte cuando Batty se encuentra con Tyrell.
Continuidad: La primera toma de la mano de Batty agarrotándose incluye el clavo, que no será insertado hasta más tarde. La ventana en dicha escena también es visible, rota, antes de que la rompa.
Audio/visual desincronizado: Rachael dice que el búho es real.
Audio/visual desincronizado: la conversación de Deckard con el mercader de serpientes.
Continuidad: las instrucciones que Deckard da a la máquina Esper no son consistentes con su estado.
Audio/visual desincronizado: la heridas de Zora aparecen antes de oir las balas que la alcanzan.
Errores reveladores: especialista cuando Zhora atraviesa las paredes de cristal.
Continuidad: cuando Deckard y Bryant están revisando el video del test de empatía VK de Leon, el diálogo entre Leon y Holden no es tan rápido como era en la escena original.
Errores reveladores: cuando Zhora impacta en las paredes de cristal, el disparador de los paquetes de sangre es visible en su mano derecha, así como el cable a través de su ropa.
Errores reveladores: los cables de soporte para los spinner.
miscelánea: la partitura que lee Rachael no pertenece a la música que está tocando en el piano (es para guitarra). Ella podría, por supuesto, estar tocando de memoria y no referirse a ella para nada.
Equipo visible: sombra de la cámara cuando Deckard está siendo cazado por Batty a través del edificio Bradbury.
Continuidad: cuando el vendedor callejero examina la escama de serpiente, el número de serie que lee en alto no corresponde al número de su pantalla de vídeo.
Errores reveladores: cuando Deckard saca la máquina VK para realizar el test a Rachael, mimifica la acción. La máquina ya está en la mesa.
Audio/visual desincronizado: cuando Sebastian está hablando con Batty sobre su partida de ajedrez con Tyrell, la toma está enfocada en Batty, pero la mejilla y labio inferior de Sebastian son visibles, y se puede ver que no los mueve en sincronía con las palabras está pronunciando.
Continuidad: el cabello de Pris está mojado en el exterior del edificio Bradbury pero está seco en la siguiente escena dentro del edificio.
Continuidad: después de que Deckard mate a Pris, Batty llega al exterior del edificio Bradbury y su cabello está seco. Unos segundos más tarde, cuando entra en el apartamento y encuentra a Pris, su cabello está empapado.

Blade Runner 2 – The edge of human
K. W. Jeter
In 1982 Ridley Scott’s brilliant science fiction movie Blade RunnerTM was released, and a phenomenon was born. Set in the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st-century Los Angeles, Scott’s masterpiece re-created our vision of the future, telling the story of Rick Deckard, a “blade runner” who tracks down and execute renegade androids. Now, for the millions of fans of the movie, K.W. Jeter’s stylish and sophisticated new novel will reenter that seedy, high-tech world for a new chapter of thrilling futuristic suspense.
«Rick Deckard was last seen trying to flee Los Angeles with the beautiful replicant Rachael, with whom he had fallen in love. Like all androids, she has a built-in lifespan of only four years –and Deckard is desperate to dave her. But before he can do anything to help, Deckard himself is recaptured by agents of the Tyrell Corporation –the creators of android technology.
Within a matter of hours, Deckard will learn devastating news. Pris, one of the androids he killed in the original Blade Runner, was not a replicant after all, but was actually human. Now Deckard is wanted for murder. Yet instead of being jailed, he is dropped in the middle of L.A. –friendless, alone, and with no protection but his wits and old skills as a blade runner.
Deckard is determined to survive and make his way back to Rachael. But first he must fight his way through the neon-lit urban labyrinth of the city to uncover the identity of the mysterious sixth replicant that was never destroyed during his original mission. It’s a secret that will lead to a conspiracy that extends to the highest levels of police and governmental authority.
To succeed, Deckard will be force to trust the new head of the Tyrell Corporation: Sarah Tyrell, a mysterious woman who is the living image of his beloved Rachael. Mean while, Deckard himself is being ruthlessly stalked not only by the police but by his old partner Dave Holden and a sinister hitman who believes he knows the identity of the homicidal sixth replicant: Rick Deckard.»
In The Edge of Human, K.W. Jeter has re-created the dark mood, brooding intensity, and relentless suspense of the original Blade Runner, adding a new dimension of complexity and excitement to one of the most vividly imagined science fiction stories ever told.
Blade Runner 2 – El límite de lo humano
K.W: Jeter
Philip K. Dick, autor de ¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?, relato en el que se inspiró la famosa película Blade Runner, de Ridley Scott, era un ferviente admirador del novelista K.W. Jeter, en quien veía un probable continuador de su producción literaria.
Blade Runner 2: El límite de lo humano confirma que Dick no se equivocó al depositar su confianza en Jeter, quien pone en manos del lector una novela que brilla con luz propia en el firmamento de la ficción futurista.
La película inmortalizó la tenebrosa imagen de un Los Angeles del siglo XXI convertido en una jungla de acero y microchips, donde los blade runners eran los encargados de rastrear y ejecutar a los replicantes, androides renegados.
El blade runner Rick Deckard fue visto por última vez cuando intentaba huir de Los Angeles con la bella replicante Rachael, de la que se había enamorado. Como todos los androides, Rachael ha sido creada para vivir tan sólo cuatro años, y Deckard está desesperado por salvarla. Pero antes de que pueda hacer algo por ella, el blade runner es capturado por los agentes de la Corporación Tyrell, los creadores de la tecnología de los androides.
Deckard recibe noticias espantosas. Pris, uno de los replicantes a los que mató, no era después de todo una androide, sino un ser humano. Ahora a Deckard le buscan por asesinato, y para sobrevivir y reencontrarse con Rachael debe confiar en la ayuda de la nueva presidenta de la Corporación Tyrell, Sarah Tyrell, una mujer misteriosa que es el vivo retrato de su amada Rachael.
Deckard se abre paso por el laberinto urbano, armado de su astucia y sus viejas habilidades de blade runner, para desenmascarar al sexto replicante que no fue destruido en la misión que costó la vida a Pris. La búsqueda le llevará a descubrir una conspiración que abarca los niveles más altos de la policiía y las autoridades gubernamentales.
Atrapado en un círculo donde los cazadores son cazados y donde se confunden las identidades, Deckard es víctima a su vez de una persecución feroz en la que participan su antiguo compañero Dave Holden y un asesino siniestro que cree conocer la identidad del sexto replicante homicida: el mismo Rick Deckard.

Starting bid, this morning, $500. Wow! I think somebody turned crazy about collectors and auctions… Now, 6 hours later, the auction was relisted with $300 starting bid… Uh… I think about waiting a week to watch a serious drop… We are collectors, not stupid men!
Soy un adicto de eBay. Por supuesto. Cada día mi correo está lleno de nuevas ofertas aparecidas en las búsquedas sobre Blade Runner y otros objetos (en el futuro se convertirán en otros blogs). Pero hoy me he visto sorprendido. Una subasta rezaba: The Final Cut Screening TICKETS:

Esta mañana la puja inicial era de $500. ¡Vaya! Creo que alguien se volvió loco pensando en los coleccionistas y las subastas…. Ahora, unas 6 horas más tarde, veo que la subasta ha sido reiniciada con un precio de salida de $300… Bah… creo que valdrá la pena esperar una semana y ver cómo cae en picado… Somos coleccionistas ¡pero no estúpidos!

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

The origin of the story.
It was January 2021, and Rick Deckard had a license to kill.
Somewhere among the ordes of humans out there, lurked sveral rogue androids.
Deckard’s assignment –find them and then… “retire” them.
Trouble was, the androids all looked and acted exactly like humans, and they didn’t want to be found!
¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?
El origen de la historia.
La guerra mundial ha devastado el planeta. Rick Deckard –experto en el manejo de androides, creados por el hombre pero que ahora están en libertad– tiene como ocupación principal la destrucción de androides rebeldes, por lo que recibe un botín como pago. Enterado de que seis androides andan sueltos, llama a su superior, el inspector Bryant, y descubre que nadie en la oficina conoce a Rick Deckard. Así comienza una alucinante pesadilla tecnológica y una de las obras maestras de la ciencia-ficción actual.

Yes folks. Several months offline in this site brings me to this point. Totally restart from scratch. Manual coding is exciting and give me a total freedom, but… is tedious adn slow. Thus, I wanna start from zero once more time. WordPress blogs are terrific, and My Blade Runner will be another one in the net. From now, posting will be a more confortable experience for me, and perhaps easier to update the everyday growing collection. The main theme of this site. My Blade Runner collection. Welcome to My Blade Runner 2.0 edition!
Si amigos. Varios meses desconectado me han llevado a este punto. Empezar totalmente de cero. Codificar de forma manual es divertido y me da total libertad de acción, pero es lento y tedioso. Así pues, empezaré de cero una vez más. Los blogs hechos con WordPress son estupendos, así que My Blade Runner se convertirá en otro más en la red. Desde ahora, publicar será mucho más cómodo para mí, y espero que eso facilite la actualización de la colección que crece día a día. El tema principal de este sitio. Mi colección Blade Runner. Así que… ¡bienvenido a la edición 2.0 de My Blade Runner!
