BladeZone's Off World Forums

Well, just list your favorite location from the movie and explain why. It can even be vague, like say the streets where Deckard chases Zhora, the roof where Batty dies, or just the areas they fly by in the spinner, just whatever! I guess you can list a few runner up locations too!<BR><BR>Ok, my favorite place in the movie is J.F. Sebastian's apartment(I like the whole building, but specifically his rooms). The puppets, toys, mannequins and all just fascinate me to no end. I love that whole cluttered look. <BR><BR>When I hear people talking about the great visuals of BR, some might talk of the streets or more futuristic elements, but I immediately think of J.F.'s place. The dark, smokey look with dark browns, grays, and some goldish/reddish colors looks great. The art design and props in there are superb. I wish I could visit there, it's just dripping atmosphere, and it's so lonely. And the freaky toys. Anyway, I think that whole place has become a referance point in art whether it's anime, video games, or real life art design(and of course other movies and TV), and it's never been done better!<BR><BR>I also really like Deckard's apartment, especially when Rachel tries to leave you might notice some Japanese art on the wall in the background(by the door, I think). Very cool and exotic. And the lighting in the room where Deckard VK's Rachel is spectacular!<BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Lost Painting on 2003-01-21 21:56 ]</font><BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Lost Painting on 2003-01-21 21:58 ]</font>

i'd have to say animoid row or however you spell it the place where Deckard talks to the Abdule Ben Hassan that place whould be quite interesting i feel it'd be both alienating and and suffocating at the same time also truly interesting emotions to experience

Deckards apartment becuase Deckards armchair is incredible! It looks so comfy..I have bought a new house and my 3 + 2 suite is being delivered this Saturday..but I couldn't find the exact chair Deckard had. <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif"> <BR><BR><IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Police HQ. I love that "old architecture, new technology" look.

Deckard's apartment. Specifically, his balcony. It's got an incredible view and it seems like the perfect place to have a drink and just chill. <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: endzem on 2003-01-22 13:09 ]</font>

Bradbury Bathroom, that bathtub is huge!<BR>You could hold olympic swimming events in it!;-)<BR>Plus the wardrobe Deck climbs it would bea good piece of furniture when it was in mint condition.

Besides those sites already mentioned I would have to add Tyrell's office (and bedroom)

Well I never really thought of it. But I would have to say Leon's Apartment. It just gives you sort of an outlook on how the replicants real lives are. Dark, Dirty, and Small. Basically their purpose is insignificant after four years. <BR><BR><BR>P.S.-I'm a human and I say Four Years sucks. That's not enough time for anything...Besides how much of your world can you see in four years?

I'd have to go with Animoid Row. I really like the bustling crowds and the multi ethnic feeling you get in that scene. <BR><BR>Close runner ups are Deckard's apartment (I'd like my apartment to look like that, but the lighting would be hard to get right) and Tyrell's office.

I would go with Deckard's apartment too, because of the general atmosphere of the place.

I like that really heavy, wet atmosphere of the Bradbury Building, and the frozen lab of Chew, with that blue light and real ice over the walls and celinig, unlike many "iced" sets from some movies that just look like crap. In some of them you can even see the plastic ice bend when a character moves next to it.

The Roof, 'nuff said. <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I think Centauro's comment on the ice sums up all the places very nicely - they look real because the attention to detail is there and the effort was put in to actually make them real. Why use plastic ice when you can use real ice? Why have hastily gathered magazines in the news stand when you can actually create future magazine covers? Sebastian's apartment isn't pretending to be his place - it really is! And Deckard really does live in his apartment. And Tyrell's office is sublime right down to the echo of Rachael's heels. There *is* an Animoid Row where we can go and it always crowded and raining and there is music playing in the background. And I was just at Taffey's Snake Pit Bar last night...
