I still think the score was the weak link. I didn't hate it or anything, but the Vangelis stuff from the original blows it away. [Reply]

Hmm. I thought they did a great job sort of honoring/imitating the originals score [Reply]

I didn't get that at all.
Of course, I think that's on me - I went in expecting more of the same, and that's mainly why I was disappointed. Nothing wrong with going in a different direction.
When I watched the blu ray it didn't bother me as much. Although it's still a bit heavy handed, IMO. [Reply]

Yeah, you did. She's the giant hologram advertisement chick, too.
So does JOI surpass her programming and become human? She seems to love K, but then you see the advertisements proclaiming that she is everything you want to see and hear.
The advertisement version also calls K "Joe" which is the the name his personal model picked for him because he's special. K tells that crazy bitch Luv that she must be "special" because Niander Wallace gave her a name. The JOI companions are made to make the replicants feel like real humans. It seems that part of their programming is to make the replicants feel so real that they choose to have names instead of just i.d. numbers or letters.
They blur the reality between being really clever AI and being real. Just like the replicants themselves do. More human than human. [Reply]

You've got it backward. Billboard-Joi calls him that because that's what all Jois been programmed to do.
He's not special and the advertisement reminds him of that. [Reply]
No, I understood it. My comment looks funny because I didn't put my first use of "special" in between quotation marks. It makes it look like I'm saying th opposite of what I actually mean.

Punctuation matters. I'm a terrible at both spelling and grammar, unfortunately. [Reply]
