MOVIE: Somewhere between Han Solo and Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford (pictured) starred in Ridley Scott's 1982 cult classic Blade Runner, which has been screening over at the Ziegfeld. This director's cut version includes more fights! And more special effects! And way more cyberpunk attitude!
5:30 and 8:30pm // Ziegfeld [141 W 54th St] // $11
READING: Earlier today Rosie O'Donnell was there, but tonight Shalom Auslander will spend some time at Barnes & Noble reading from his book Foreskin's Lament. Raised an Orthodox Jew (something he refers to as "theological abuse"), each page tells a story of his relationship with his religion, his family and everything in between.
7pm // Barnes & Noble [675 Sixth Ave] // Free
THEATER: Jump, the new martial arts/acrobatic/slapstick comedy extravaganza has pounced on Union Square direct from Korea, where many of the cast members moonlight as award-winning athletes. The show is reportedly spectacular; “set in the interior of a traditional Korean home, it tells the story of an anything-but-typical family. Each member of the household, from the strict Grandfather to the pretty young daughter, enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. When two burglars break into the house occupied by three generations of highly trained martial artists, the family turns their expertise on the unexpected guests.” – John Del Signore
8pm // Union Square Theater [100 E 17th St] // Tickets $20
MUSIC: Next week O'Death will help kick off our Gothamist House shows...tonight though, catch the lead singer at his very own solo show. He'll be performing songs from a new compilation called People Take Warning, which features old timey "disaster songs and murder ballads".
8pm // Cake Shop [152 Ludlow St] // Free

Blade Runner, one of my favorite movies. I have the last Directors cut which was awesome! Can't wait to see this one. It is one of those movies that one never tires of.
the final cut is nice. nothing dramatically new but the print is clean. really clean. detail like you've never seen before.
The new Bladerunner Cut is a total sham, saw it on saturday night, just a scam to make $. Ridley actually changes one of the best lines in the movie to a "G" rated one and then inserts another right afterwards to soften Roy Batty's character - FU Ridley Scott, you can't make a good movie anymore so you go back and ruin one of your best ... Ridley likes visible air lulz
Ridley Scott's magnum opus. The sets, costumes, and most of all Vangelis's music...a complete work of art. I finished watching that movie wishing to live in Los Angeles 2019.
