Blade Runner is SO worth seeing on the big screen, especially in a nice clean print.

Agreed! I got to watch it for a film class once on a nice big screen in an auditorium. Fantastic.

And it's not playing in Pittsburgh, grr. We're going to have to drive to Columbus, OH to see it early next year.

I've seen in on the big screen every time it's been released- the original time, and the re-release in the 90s. Is the new remastered version going to play in theaters again?

We saw it at the Inwood Theater here in Dallas on Saturday night. Fucking awesome, complete with extra gore.

Yes, it is making the rounds. I saw it a couple of weeks ago. I'd search it out quickly, if you want to catch it.

i remember seeing the director's cut in Denver. i miss movie going experiences with that impact and wonder if it's me. It's not all me.

I saw it at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland on Saturday and the theater manager said there were only 12 prints in the whole country. (And the Bay Area currently has 4 of them, because we're greedy pigs.)

I believe that list is outdated, it is playing "wider" than that now. I had planned on driving to Detroit to see it at the Landmark, but it showed up here in Grand Rapids at one of our local multiplexes (multiplexi?). I would definitely check your local theaters BP, it has to be showing in Atlanta somewhere.

There's an official list on the Warner Bros. website but it's so flashed up that it's unreadable.
