I saw the Directors cut before I ever saw the theatrical version of Blade Runner and even before reading about the conversation between Deck and Gaff in the spinner without audio, I hadn't even really noticed it. But to me, even after reading the bloopers section, I still consider it a artistic showing. The dropped voices overshadowed by the music and sounds of the movie seems almost artistically put and I for one enjoy the addition of it to the movie. Comments?

I've always thought of it the same way. I don't see it as a blooper in any way.<BR>

I've always consoled myself with the thought they Deckard and Gaff could read lips. Oh well.

It is not a blooper as that indicates a mistake. Scott decided to use music instead of the original dialogue to create a different mood.<BR><BR>If you see two people's lips moving, but hear a different dialogue, that is annoying. If you can hear that two people are talking, but can't quite make out all they are saying, that is annoying. But if you can see two people talking and only hear music, that is not a problem.

I totally agree with you! That scene plays so well, and its funny because they consider it to be a mistake. Unfortunately they will probably "fix" that in the SE.

Gaff: "You've done a man's job, sir! I guess you are through?"

Deckard: "Finished".

That wasn't the only travesty done to Empire. Georgie boy changed all kinds of dialogue in the movie. Examples: Luke now cries out in pain when tumbling down the stairs on Bespin...In the original release Vader gasped when he was shoved off the edge in the freezing chamber now he cries out in pain...Vader's dialogue is changed when he returns to the Star Destroyer after Luke plummets...I have no doubt there are others.

Ten bucks says some prankster is gonna spraypaint that exact phrase on George's tombstone. I'd pay to see that.
