Happily, my introduction to Bladerunner came through a film buff who knew better and showed me the director's cut. Brilliant movie– and so much better without the voice-over.

I rest my case. 🙂

I have not seen Gatsby yet, but am a fan of Baz Luhrman and look forward to his adaptation. As for the voice over, I am reminded of an epic struggle between Ridley Scott and the studio over the making of Bladerunner. The studio won out (of course) and demanded a voice over. But in the director's cut, that was the first thing to go. And wisely so!

I have recently re-read the book.
