Roy Batty, great character, dreadful name, like something out of Coronation Street.

RIP Rutger, absolute legend !

A fella you can honestly say was cool.

Hope he didn't suffer.

Blade runner and Blind Fury. 2 excellent films I thought as a kid.

I came to blade runner late, and tbh, I'm not overly enamoured with it. When I think Rutger Hauer, I think of this film I saw when I was younger. I think we had it on vhs as it was the movie of the month on Britannia video club thing...

RIP The Hitcher

This, unbelievably lazy reporting (again) by the BBC, they don’t even mention this film yet it was huge at the time and arguably his best role.

 

[The Rivet]

Agreed: The Hitcher for me.

No mention of the Guinness ads either

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

Flesh & Blood was awesome. RIP.

I had this as part of my email signature at work for a while, until the fun police spotted it and I was corporatised.

They have added that tweet since I posted and it’s not their work, so yes lazy journalism.

So you admit that they are constantly reworking and updating their report and yet you stand by your verdict of 'lazy journalism'? That's lazy criticism of journalism.

Same on you all, nobody has mentioned Hobo with a Shotgun (which incidentally is showing on syfy now)
