A Blade Runner Kind of Sounds Like a Snow Plow
The expression goes “when it rains, it pours.” Currently, in Columbus, Ohio, that expression can be amended to “when it snows, it’s your chore, there’s always more and where’s my shovel from Thor.”
Yeah, it’s snowing a lot here in the midwest. And the single-digit temperatures coupled with layers of ice sadly don’t encourage snow fights and building a snowman outside. So, with that in mind, maybe it’s best if we imagine the snow is actually rain for a moment. There’s an inherent tranquility in the rain. For even more imaginative fun, let’s coincide this soothing day-dreaming with today’s Blu-ray release of the visually stunning science-fiction sequel Blade Runner 2049.
“Rain” + Blade Runner 2049 =
Rain in the future (according to Hans Zimmer) sounds nice.
Should My New Tattoo Read “Dude” or “Sweet”?
Let me set the scene:
It’s the year 2000…
No, not that video from the year 2000. But this other pop-culture phenomenon appears to be gaining steam (or electrical power, depending on your modern transportation preferences) for a miraculous (a word choice that depends on your definition preferences) in the near future.
If your favorite movies include films like The Pianist, then yeah, you’re probably not going to be particularly excited here…
or maybe you will happy to hear this developing news. Hey, my favorite movies range from Dumb and Dumber to the mind-bending cinematic epics of Christopher Nolan. It’s important not to judge a book by its cover.
Unless that book cover contains the name, “L. Ron Hubbard.”
Either way, any excuse to bring back those Adidas track suits again, we should all be for such a catalyst.
FYI – Seriously Dude, Where’s My Car? needs to happen!
This Kingdom’s (Title) Has Come
Jurassic World 2 would not be a great title for the highly-anticipated sequel to Jurassic World.
Thankfully, that won’t be an issue.
Ladies and gentleman, the Jurassic World team is, unlike the viability of a real Jurassic Park, on the right path with the (literally!) just released movie title and poster shown above. The juxtaposition of “Fallen Kingdom” and “Life Finds a Way” sparks an undeniable sense of curiosity one year out from theatrical release into what this story entails and where this story will lead for the third film in this trilogy. The only issue I have (and it’s minor) is the somewhat bland color scheme for the iconic logo in the Jurassic World trilogy’s posters. Maybe the logo’s color, like the story, has a 3-film story arc that won’t bring its full vibrant color scheme to light until the third installment?
Maybe? Hopefully.
However, the slogan (“Life Finds a Way”), the brilliant phrase spoken by Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park back in 1993 (who is in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), is perfect on so many different levels. This brand new movie poster found a way to be modern, yet nostalgically awesome.
June 22, 2018. Mark it down.

The Maverick of Nostalgic Sequels?
In part thanks to nostalgia and in part thanks to The Goldbergs, the 1980s are alive and well in the year 2017.
Need an example?
A sequel to the 1986 fan-favorite Top Gun has just been confirmed by, yes, Maverick Tom Cruise. Not only that, but Mr. Cruise revealed more intrguing tidbits about this forthcoming Top Gun follow-up…
This new Top Gun film is exciting for a few reasons:
- The creative team behind Top Gun will takes its stab at producing a successfully satisfying sequel attempt to a popular movie from the 1980s.
- Tom Cruise isn’t slowing down when it comes to taking on daring action movies with plenty of death-defying stunts.
- Top Gun is getting a sequel!
We’re all feeling the need, the need for a speedy production schedule for Top Gun: Maverick.
