Originally, I planned to skip it before Blade Runner 2049 as I seen people shit on the original blade runner. But then I realized they were referring to the Theatrical cut as it was apparently filled with a lot of boring or even off-putting narration. It was definitely worth it to watch it before 2049 (and also the 3 short films that were included on the DVD* of 2049).
Secondly, They Live (1988).
Really describes the world we live in well.
*Yes, I buy DVDs. I like them. And there's no way I am paying for a movie unless I get a physical copy. Otherwise, himovies.sx.
The final cut is the only version. The theatrical version was pressured by the execs because they didn't think people would understand what was goin on. They were wrong and it ruins the theatrical version.
