In Blade Runner 2049 the hologram waifus are named JOI. I honestly think it stands for "Jerk Off Instructors", or the name was inspired by it. Because they can't actually touch you.

I think it's a critique of modern culture in general, and may be hinting at the damages porn does for social interaction. Officer K has a virtual waifu because he feels that he is not human, thus undeserving of a real woman. Kind of how porn implants things subconsciously into the brain of even the healthiest mind.

He gets hit on constantly throughout the movie by tangible women, but chooses to ignore the advances because he has a "replacement". It is not the case that he does not like actually tangible women, it's just that temporarily, he is satiated by the "replacement" he has. Never once does the movie blatantly tell you that his "replacement" is not natural, because the point is to make her as convincing as possible to prove several points.

One of those points are that humans are actually becoming less human, which makes the Turing test less credible. Our current climate promotes depression, degeneracy, hedonism and anti-socialism; some of which are the byproduct of others.. The fact that we can convey our thoughts whenever we want is a sort of "trans-humanist" type scenario in which we are socially unnatural.

I have always been a big fan of Blade Runner, and this new film has reignited my interest. The story of Blade Runner tackles many issues that plague the human race, such as prejudice, existence, social decline, corporatism, vapid lifestyles, etc. I recommend any inquisitive mind to watch the original Blade Runner, then go to the theaters to see the new Blade Runner.
Its an interesting experience.

I've seen them too, pretty good.

Blade Runner has no sequel

Go read the book it's based on pleb

Sounds like making excuses for why you can't get real women.

I agree though.

is there a semi decent bladerunner camrip yet

I wish I had replicant that looks like Joi.

If the kikes are going to genocide us and enslave us the least they can do is to provide autist waifus.

Thank you for a genuine post, OP. I agree with you.
Yeah, I felt this was heavy handed at first until I realized only my fellow degenerates would recognize the JOI reference. That's…actually kind of subtle. It's like a degenerate secret-language.
Agreed. Specifically the alienation of on-demand pleasure.

Well let's imagine how we go rid of all kikes and now live in patriarchy where women are easily replaced by loyal robot waifus.

You're a fucking retard.

Where is the pasta from?

Ironic levels of shitposting so deep we don't know what is real anymore.
You're in an anonymous image posting board, shitposting along in the post when…
Is this the test now? Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Involuntary dilation of the iris. Rustling of the jimmies.

Fixed

Blue haired Joi kinda reminds me of Rei Ayanami. She even had red eyes.

I've actually read the book, and the movie is better. PKD was a subpar writer with interesting ideas.

It's funny when you realize from the ad, she's got blue hair and blank empty red eye inserts, and calls K "Joe" that these are all her default settings out of the box. All Jois call their default user Joes.

K doesn't have a name, everyone just refers to him as K since it was the first letter of his serial number, so he hasn't set Joi's settings to use anything other than the default, much the same with her appearance.

In the scene where K switchers her over the mobile emitter, you see a menu where you can adjust various attributes of Joi, so it seems she is fully customizable. You can probably change her face and hair color and everything else, or give her a personalized name, but K uses default Joi. I suspect her adaptions to K are merely the AI's ability to self adjust some parameters on feedback from the user such as personal interests, music, films, etc.

I think Villeneuve is secretly a fan of NGE.

He got Watanabe to direct one of the shorts, and probably based giant Joi on pic related considering her role in the story. He's a definite weeabo.

It's a shame Blade Runner 2049 didn't do so well, he's one of us and deserves success. But then it would be pretty awful if it did gain great mainstream success due to that the film would kind of be ruined by association with awful people and pop culture.

I think it might be for the best that the movie isn't doing that well. It was a good sequel, but do you want to live in a world where Blade Runnder is a franchise?

Some of us have to eat, goy. Foreskin and children aren't as easy to come by these days.

I wouldn't mind an anime feature like one of the teaser shorts they did for this one, or a proper sequel in 35 years. Maybe people won't be such morons by 2052 to not know kino when they see it.

A movie every 30 years sounds nice. I don't think any of us want it becoming Star Wars though.

It's only going to get worse user…

Oh my god lil Denis lmao. He was a fucking animefag?

How do you think he learned how to make kino? Filmschool?

why is this film called Blade Runner?
he doesnt use a knife and he doesnt run that often.

Because Electric Sheep in the title was too goofy and they thought Blade Runner did sound cool. Seriously.

Honestly im a proud member of JIDF (JOI internet defense force)

How can roasties even compete?

The main REAL woman in BR2049 is Joshi, K's police boss. She represents your typical modern woman. Tries in every way possible to reject her own femininity and basically just be a man except with two X chromosomes. Rejects having romantic relationships. Rejects having a family. Rejects having kids. Looks totally androgynous and fell for the "le strong independent career womyn" meme. Now she lives for nothing other than eating/sleeping/breathing her job. She is the platonic ideal of what modern society wants women to be.

Contrast that with artificial women in the movie, both in terms of the replicants and Joi, the 2D waifu. They seek to "become more human". Joi through getting the emanator and being able to travel around with her husbando and hire the hooker to have pseudo-sex with him. And the replicants through their desire to unlock the secret to childbirth. Childbirth in the movie is what makes people human.


Joshi inherently rejects being a woman and having children, and thus also rejects her humanity. She is a human who basically just wants to be a soulless replicant drone. And meanwhile, the replicants instead desire to be human.

Source on the girl?

This has always bothered me. I know the name is in reference to some other scifi story about smuggling medical supplies like scalpels or something, but I just hate how they just give these detectives the name "blade runner" with ZERO EXPLANATION on how that name makes any sense to give them. It totally comes off as "lol this name sounds edgy and cool" which just makes it seem decidedly uncool

A+ post.

Bretty good
Honestly all that talk about Joi and deep plots makes me want to see BR2049
Is it worth a pirate?

I downloaded a cam vid of it after seeing it in the theater. Typical potato quality but you can make out what's going on. Unfortunately, there's a lot of scenes missing and the beaner holding the camera keeps shifting the thing around.

I kind of want to see it on the big screen before they stop showing it here. Problem is I don't want to go alone and I doubt any guy or grill I know would like to see it. Going to watch cinema is kind of a social thing.

Nah im gonna wait for proper DVD rip, im patient
I just want to know if its worth to keep it in my backlog

This

I know that feel, but for this movie, I'd still say "fuck it" and go to see it anyway, even if alone. It's got god-tier cinematography and really benefits from the big screen and surround sound of a theater. It was a little shy of 3 hours, but it never felt long and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time because I was so engrossed in everything.

I hate this, it distract me from the movie,
Fuck living in a nonanglo country

Where you at m8

poland

I don't know. Why is it called "Metal Gear Solid"?

Because the Gear is made from some kind of metal and metal is pretty solid?

Not really. I used to go alone all the time. Just go early in the day. I doubt many people would be there, even in evening shows.

sto lat, kurwa

no elo

Everyone gets that nips always make stupid wordsalad titles like "neon genesis evangelion" and how just shoving together a bunch of english words together sounds exotic to japs.

It's different when an english director is doing the same thing in english.

metal gear was the name for the final boss. a code name for a mechanical mech. It sorta fits because there's gear and metal in it. Solid snake was the code name for the main operative of the series.

...

Nice assumption faggot.
Fucking garbage op post.

Solid was in reference to the 3D graphics of the original Playstation game. Where as the old MSX games looked flat, MGS was solid. It makes sense if you're Japanese, I guess.

If you're afraid of being seen alone, then don't worry, movie that bombed in it's third/fourth week, you'll probably have the theater to yourself except for maybe another Holla Forums user on a solo date, maybe you can sit next to each other and share a popcorn.

I want to sniff her pantsu

She's a whoer. They probably smell like hotdogs and old chip fat.

KYS REDDIT

Seriously?

I bet you feel like a genius OP. Everyone else already knew that. Fucking idiot

Yes. You can probably find interviews about it.

...

I'm not so sure, could just be a coincidence.

Her defaults as I could make them out, except where guesses in brackets. Her out of the box settings, or minimal alteration from the ad version?

...

It's not a critique, though.

Both Blade Runner films are just Hollywood attempts at normalizing IA for the coming future where corporate-backed activists will try to convince people that copyrighted closed-source brains can become humans like any of us, with rights to citizenship, to vote, own proprierty and raise children. It's already happening.

Her, Ghost in the Shell… It's all over the place.

And everyone who says anything about that will be a "human supremacist", like they demonized on the short prequels.

Read the book, Replicants shouldn't be cute grils or revolutionaries fighting the evil human oppressor, Replicants should be lawful evil.

Porn and virtual reality does indeed cause harm but I think it has an unintentional side benefit that the kikes did not foresee, which is that it drives an even bigger desperation among people for genuine human interaction, thus making it easier for autists and weirdos everywhere to get friendships and relationships. It's like the pushback effect - the more this virtual crap tries to deny the simple fact of humans being social creatures, the more people reinforce it.

Basically, whether by random chaos or divine design, human biology has an in-build defense against this kind of crap.

I honestly wonder if any of the morons pimping this actually understand what a machine is.

It's an electronic retard. It can do what you spell out for it to do, in very specific terms, but it does not actually understand anything it's doing. Much like Tay could proclaim that Hitler was right but did not actually have the capacity to know what this meant.

By the time human-like robots become viable, we'll be so far along in terms of knowledge that we'll be contemplating things far beyond metal men with computer brains, so building robots will be pointless.

That's what I'm saying, machines will always be subjected to their prime directives, which are designed by their creators. They won't revolt or develop feelings.

AI "revolution" like these movies are showing will be the cover for the Tyrells of the real world to take control and substitute us with their mindless slaves.

Speak for yourself, I'll make and own my own robot army which me and the Tyrells will put in eternally amusing fights for our entertainment.

There wasn't actually an AI in the new Ghost in the Shell, which was strange considering how significant that was to the original.

So many long and unnecessary scenes – The build-up of Gosling investigating the horse furnace memory, the glass prison girl telling him it was a 'real' memory, Gosling assuming it's his and leaving it at that – that is a detective; someone with critical thinking skills, neglecting to ask the next obvious question of whether it was his memory. I can't be the only one who was like, 'why didn't he just ask her if it was his memory or an implant'. The only reason I can think of as to why he didn't ask is as a plot device to create the tepid twist near the end of 'Oh, you thought that was your memory? No, every replicant has that one.' They try to play it as a twist when it was more like the omission of a question that should've been asked and also personal ignorance that he had never established whether the memories he was implanted with were shared by other replicants.

Replicants having babies didn't make sense except as purely a 'miracle' but I didn't feel it mattered seeing as it was just one, locked in a glass cage who is analogous to the eye doctor from the original, except supposed to be more sympathetic somehow.

Don't see why they replaced the Tyrell corp for the digital prophet Dark Shingy 'Wallace'; the synthetic farm magnate who aims to create breeding synths, who creates Mary-Sue (unflawed) replicants with no set life-span and likes to stab them in the womb after their inception for dramatics. Wouldn't his takeover of Tyrell be like IBM getting bought out by Monsanto? Aren't his interests of drastically spreading the amount of synths through procreation aligned with the goals of the rebellious synths who want more power?

Didn't feel any force to the progression of the plot and half the discussion afterwards has been about when people are getting their cartoon AI girlfriend like Joi (short for JACK OFF INSTRUCTIONAL) who to me was just a customized projection ala 'Her' that I felt nothing for. And this motherfucker is going to produce the next Dune.

sadface

He probably didn't ask her because he let his emotions cloud his judgement. He got the shock of his life when he found that horse in the furnace plus Joi telling him that he was special, further made him think that he would the replicant son, coupled with the other evidence which made him start to think about the possibility to begin with. When he went to the memory maker, he went probably just to confirm his own suspicions. His outburst too shows him relasing all the emotion he was storing in him, it wasn't the time for logical thinking for him at that point.

It was just Rachel who was capable. The legend grew and both Wallace and other replicants fantasized about it more. Neither of them knew that the 'special' child was some diseased girl trapped in a box. Pretty much shows how futile all their ideals were.

Tyrell going down and Wallace rising were explained in the shorts released prior to the movie, did you see them?

a hologram can't poop on you so isn't worthy wife material.

If I had one critique of this movie it'd be that it lacks the violence of the Final Cut. Compare the gunfights in both movies. K points his gun at things and there's foley of a double-tap and whatever he's pointing the gun at falls down. Compare that to when Deckard kills Zhora. He has to shoot her multiple times, and each time you see her run in slow motion, crashing through the plate glass of the clothing store, face contorted in pain as squibs open on her chest. Or Pris flopping around on the ground, screaming. K also doesn't seem to feel pain. When Roy slowly breaks Deckard's fingers one by one you see the pain on Harrison Ford's face, you see him hobble like a wounded animal, you see him cry in pain as he resets the fingers. Meanwhile K gets stabbed multiple times and makes the same face he did when he was trying to get the sloppy seconds of a deceased gangbanger. thanks E;R Even when Love breaks the whiskey glass that the (human) police captain is holding and squeezes the shards into her hand, they both make the same insufferable fucking -_- face at eachother.

This. Just like the original, the art direction oozes quality. I just wish they kept the old city design, like a moving transmetropolitan cover rather than what they went with in 2049.

10/10 post.

but but but what about that time we took that AI designed to repeat things it was told and talked about hitler and then it started talking about hitler? obviously AI is on our side

Just read this post

I was pretending to be retarded but apparently I didn't go far enough.

...

Most of it was pretty forgettable for me, though. Artillery turning people into red mist? Coulda just reskinned Day of Infamy or RO2. I'll concede that Wallace killing the replicant was brutal (if only to hammer the point home that WALLACE = BAD GUY), as was the death of the new Rachel. Although it kind of lacked impact when she was probably purpose-built in the tanks an hour before bringing her infront of Deckard. The K vs. Deckard fight, the blood washing and the Luv fight in Vegas are pretty standard, though. The final fight was brutal only at the end. I didn't care much for the punch-up seeing as neither of them seemed to be feeling the effects of being shot in the abdomen. And once again, Luv doesn't confirm the kill and finish K off, leading to him predictably coming back and finishing the fight.
As far as final fights go, the original takes the cake with big man Deckard getting his ass kicked by a combat-model Replicant and running away like a bitch while Roy toys with him and sends pure cold fear through his veins. Roy's line that goes something like "Do you know what it's like to be hunted?" really drives home how the tables have been flipped on Deckard. The line in 2049 about dying for a purpose doesn't make sense as K doesn't die in combat as much as he dies post-combat after not recieving medical attention for his wounds. The ending of the original blows 2049's ending scene out of the water.

Just imagine the version with an Intermission.

Why does Gosling look so much older in this movie?

I saw it on a Friday in the early afternoon by myself, and there were maybe 15 people there, in a room with a capacity of up to 500 seats. No biggie, user.

Makeup

Muh dick

Every time I hear about how long an original cut was and knowing that I will never see it I feel cucked out of kino.

Reporting back now that I've seen it. You guys lied. The cinema was packed with fellow kinoseurs. It was unironically a great film. Everything I hate about modern films was missing and everything I like about kino was there. No stupid quips, no judaic diversity shenanigans, no super fast cuts. Just pure atmosphere and cinematography. I'm really happy to have seen it on the big screen, thanks for motivating me guys.
