Hampton Fancher Puns

There are fairly new, I don't think they have made the rounds yet among the fan commmunity:

Just wondering whether there is the original script for blade runner 2049 (and maybe blade runner) written by Hampton Fanchers, before Green,People and Scott changed it, available online.

I cant wait 10 years for 4 hour cut

Can Hampton Fancher finally garner an Oscar nod for Best Adapted Screenplay, for his 2049 script? Hampton Fancher, in my opinion, is the master of philosophical dialogue. First movie was snubbed of best screenplay, amongst a plethora of other categories including score, cinematography, picture, direction, etc. Might the academy apologize to Fancher by finally giving him (and Michael Green) a nomination?

I guess what I am asking for is: what are the criteria for a decent screenplay?

• Highly philosophical dialogue - check

• Writing is of high literary significance - check

• Well edited and mastered - check

Not to mention, there are other competitors in this category that may hinder chances. Just to name a few:

• Last Flag Flying - a Richard Linklater film

• Call Me by Your Name - received high-praise. Gay pride film

• Mudbound - raved at multiple festivals

• Molly's Game - written by Aaron Sorkin, an Oscar favorite in the screenplay categories.

• Wonderstruck - written in the same vain as Hugo, and written by the same dude.

Not to mention, 2049 is doing terribly at the Box Office, and might not be able to run a successful Oscar campaign. Can 2049 possibly be in the prestigious top 5?

Context - this all started with a dumbass video from the now deleted channel Dishonored Wolf, who was once a member of that shit stain of a podcast. In the video, he declared that "there is not one form of media that forces diversity on the one being entertained that is actually good" and defined forced diversity as "diversity that takes focal point in the story" which the EFAP response later added on that Rey's character writing for example forces diversity because her only character trait is being a woman (baseless as it's never mentioned once, at best it's maybe implied once, if anything it was more explicitly mentioned very blatantly with Leia by Han in A New Hope: "if we can just avoid any more female advice, we ought to be able to get out of here" said the selfish, overly aggressive smuggler about the benevolent princess in a movie where his arc is understanding that she is right and he is wrong) and that J.J. hired based on diversity rather than talent (also baseless, those 2 aren't mutually exclusive and if those people actually believed that there's no problem with diversity in general they wouldn't have had a problem with this, since this logic only works if you pretend like you can't find a non-straight-white-male who's also a good actor)

Anyway, without further ado:

Cowboy Bebop - intentional rather than accidental racial diversity, therefore forced ("I paid a lot of attention to skin color," Watanabe said in The Jazz Messengers. "Also to using multiple languages. Lots of times when you watch anime, the characters have white skin — all the characters in fantasy stories all have white skin, which I never liked. I wanted to have lots of characters in Bebop without the white skin, and if people weren't used to that, well, maybe it would even make them think a little bit about it. The same was true for languages. I wanted to have lines muttered in multiple languages, but that would have been just too difficult," he laughed.)

Blade Runner 2049 and other Denis Villeneuve films - intentional rather than accidental female representation, therefore forced (“The way it was written and the way we did it, it’s not about our future, it’s like a magnifying glass onto this society,” he says. “The way women are objectified and struggling with power, and are used by men, there’s something harsh about the portrait of society. And I think it’s not that I provoke that, it’s just an observation.”

Part of his attraction to Hampton Fancher and Michael Green’s

If one lived in Manhattan, the Bay Area, or El Lay's West Side in the 1970s, it was really rare not to have at least heard of "encounter weekends" in hotel ballrooms featuring gurus like Michael Murphy (at Esalen), self-esteem guru Nathaniel Branden, Richard "Riggs" Corriere of The Center for Feeling Therapy, Actualizations' founder Stewart Emery, human potential mechanic Don Jolley, an up-and-coming Tony Robbins, acting coach Hampton Fancher III, et al.

I only ever went to four of them, but they all "produced immediate results." And one didn't have to take any Quaaludes, acid or MDA (not MDMA or Ecstasy, though it's similar); nose up any coke; or even smoke a joint to get the pronounced effect. All you had to do was spring for what would now be about $500, follow the semi-hypnotic instructions and figure that if you "dressed up well," you might even wind up roaring out Olympic Boulevard to Beverly Hills at 11:00 pm in a Mercedes Elvis had given to some Playmate or movie queen. (I'm 100% serious.)

As was the case in many "human potential intensives," the guru used a bag full of mostly "meditative," mass-hypnosis tricks to open everyone up like a can opener so that they have no need for their usual, ego-protective defense mechanisms. By the end of the first 12- to 14-hour day, most of the young adult participants are pretty high from directly experiencing (and temporarily unloading) their heretofore repressed emotions, sharing their experiences with each other, and finding instant soul mates. Moreover, we were often surrounded -- and further stimulated -- by all the faces and figures we recognized from the big and small screens.

IMO experiences, I wound up with a budding, later to be late-night TV movie icon; a twice-featured presence in Playboy magazine; a former g/f of a very famous, two-time governor... who lived in Greta Garbo's "getaway" cottage; and the stimulus-addicted queen of Brentwood and Scottsdale who later carried on with major movie stars, politicians and moguls whose names everyone knows. The first three proved to be momentary flings when they "came down" and saw me for the pinheaded disappointment I really was. The fourth, however, joined me for sessions of mutual manipulation through 18 years and three marriages (to others) apiece.

Now, I'm pretty ce

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

From the man who penned both Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 comes, as everyone who knows it tends to remember it, “the movie where Owen Wilson plays a psycho/serial killer”. That’s about as good of a single sentence description I could do to introduce The Minus Man to somebody because I think it covers exactly what the film is--and that includes the much-needed inclusion of writer/director Hampton Fancher.

I’m mentioning Blade Runner to highlight, more than anything, the way we get into the psyche of Wilson’s character, Vann, and in particular because of the way his inner monologues are written. His inner reflections come in the way of artistic dialogue (though I’m not sure if anything is iconic enough to match the famous “tears in the rain” line from Blade Runner), the kind that allows him to meditate philosophically on the way life happens, how he functions. It’s something that gives way to a very troubled psyche, one of insanity, and yet he remains coolly conducted in the real life scenes throughout the film.

The brilliance of the film is to passively observe his experience in the small town he sticks around in as a tenant in a couple’s house. There he establishes a temporary means of living by getting a job and forming relationships with everyone in town. For the most part, his character plays out in a conspicuously friendly manner--between his murders, he comes across as a pretty nice guy to everyone, someone to trust. It’s an effect that certainly makes the experience one a bit distant from arm’s reach; nevertheless, it opens up a surprising amount of depth to the exercise.

This is more of a thinking person’s horror film than anything--we have an absence of violence throughout, for instance. (Don’t just take it from me--Vann explicitly states he never uses violence.) Vann’s methods for dispatching his victims are drug-related--he can spike their drinks with a poison he collected regionally and get them to drink. Vann himself says he never drinks but never gives much of a good reason why. He notes how heightened his level of observation is, how he can look so hard for things that may not even be there--this becomes incredibly evident when he fears being found out and recounts how every single person he met in the town could possibly come together and catch him based on their individual talents and when he met them. A good deal of the film is simply him interacting with the townsfolk, coming to understand their feelings, their tra

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
