F&B1986: Peggy Sue Got Married

I was so confused watching this, until I realised that I thought that this was going to be a different Coppola film. I was thinking about “One from the Heart”, which I remember seeing during a vacation in Oslo in… 82? With one of my sisters. I must have been 13 or 14. I remember being kinda mesmerised. Neon, scrim dissolves… But I don’t remember anything about the plot.

But this isn’t that movie. I don’t think I’ve seen this before. Of course, there isn’t a lot to remember about this movie. It’s kinda devoid of interest. Perhaps Coppola wanted to make Back to the Future III, but didn’t get the contract.

F&B1982: Blade Runner

The walls have to be a lot of work to dust…

I was going to see Der Stand des Dinge by Wim Wenders, but the DVD I have turns out to only have German subtitles.  Why!  WHYYYY!!!  It’s like Germans don’t like other people watching their films or something…

So I, er, quickly acquired the “final cut” version of Blade Runner instead.  It’s also on g_monte’s list.  I saw the original cut back in the 80s.  But I have to say I’m disappointed.  It looks lovely, of course, and the actors are engaging, and there’s interesting bits.  But it’s mostly just kind of boring.

SO DISAPPOINT!

Blade Runner. Ridley Scott. 1982.
