Blade Runner: The Final Cut opens this weekend at exactly two theaters in the United States: The Ziegfeld in New York and the Landmark in Los Angeles. It’s got me salivating with excitement, and my friend Kim — who owns a copy of the Blade Runner script, signed by all the cast members — she’s been sleeping in a transparent raincoat all week, a stuffed boa constrictor clutched in her twitching fingers.

So we’re going to the ten o’clock show, opening night. I’ll be documenting the scene, talking to folks, hanging out. I’m way too cool for school to allow myself to rock a costume, but I love documenting stuff like this. I love unfettered, un-self-conscious excitement so much that even if I’m not actually feeling it I can kinda catch a contact buzz. And being the worrywart that I am, I am trying to lock down tickets for this thing NOW.

This is not an unreasonable expectation. I mean, the poster at the theater (photographed above) led me to believe that this might be possible. But for some reason, the Ziegfeld isn’t selling advance tickets online. And both times I’ve been around to buy tickets in person, the theater’s been locked.

So while the Ziegfeld is technically selling tickets to Blade Runner they’re not like, trying to sell tickets to Blade Runner. But in that way, maybe, this is a real re-creation of seeing Blade Runner in 1982 — no advance tickets, no Fandango. Just show your ass up and get in line.

Here’s a few of the bigger links about the film’s rerelease, followed by a trailer:
