I was thinking of seeing Riddick this weekend, just for the visuals, which I hoped were spectacular at least. I might settle for fantastic and compelling.
You're right those name are ridiculous and that rotten names can ruin the entire thing, if that was the only problem. I know this myself all too well.
You know in the business, they don't call it making reference to, or even plagiarism, they call it hommage. Well, it's french for plagiarism to me.
You meant the below quote, I assume, from Blade Runner? I love that film. I have the Director's cut DVD, although I don't think you can find the original release anymore. Watching again I really see Ridley Scott's experience from Alien in it. Even down to strange electronic sound effects for the devices.
ROY BATTY I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder* of Orion. I watched sea beams glitter in the dark near the Tenhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die. (Dies)
* Orion is a constellation. Three blue giant stars make up his shoulders.
