Last week's answer: Blade Runner (Daryl Hannah and Sean Young)
This week's question: Edward James Olmos is in Blade Runner. Which other Elliptical 100 movie is he in?

There are 16 weeks, but the last week has two points available. So there are eight points left to obtain possibly.
Ex Machina was a really good film. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the TV series from the director, Devs, which hit on some similar ideas.
ReplyDeleteChoosing A New Hope over The Empire Strikes Back is a mistake, IMO.
Boy, most of Olmos' memorable work was on TV. Ummm...I will guess I'm Still Here.
Ha. I'm aware that Empire is widely considered better. But I prefer the first one. Partly because it's the first one though. I'll probably talk about this more in my recap post.
DeleteJust watched Blade Runner a few weeks ago... and the new one as well. If I could only keep one from this list, I'd go with SW too. Although I like ESB more.
ReplyDeleteThe only Olmos movie that stands out to me right now is Stand and Deliver.
I haven't seen the new one. I read the book though. They changed it plenty, so it's good that they re-named it.
DeleteI liked PKD's story more than I did the film. And the new one looked like poo, so I won't ever be watching that one.
ReplyDeleteI know that it won't be, but it'd be pretty cool if your Olmos film was Wolfen.
Yeah. He wrote some interesting stuff. I read a few of his consecutively a couple years ago.
