Pimping is a recognized and legitimate business. The 'hero' has trouble mounting his own horse. Of course, how much of a hero can he be with quotes like, "And don't cut up no more whores or I'll come back and kill you all!" or "You sure killed the hell out of him." The violence is ugly, the way violence is in real life. The motivations are simple and straight forward. Characters struggle with guilt and shame. This isn't Roy Rogers shooting the bad guy and riding off into the sunset on Trigger happily singing with Dale Evans. This is the opposite of that. This is a widower anti-hero falling off the alcoholic and sociopathic wagons and killing for *****'s money and vengeance to better his family's economic situation.

That's the big part of it. And for anyone old enough to know somebody who had a rough (criminal) younger life, they probably see some similarities. A lot of times the tough guy isn't really the quickest draw or the toughest, he's just someone drunk and dumb and very lucky. Unforgiven does a good job of showing that those people many times change their ways once they get a chance (farm, wife, kids).

Blade runner is simply a great story. i like ridley scotts work.

I know my most watched is aliens.  but thats cause i left it playing on repeat in my room for a year or so lol...

I always thought there was a lot more they could do with that world. Was glad to hear they're planning a sequel, but it's sounding more like it's a remake with some nods to the first one.
