RIP Rutger Hauer

He improvised (much of) that monologue. And Blade Runner is set in 2019. Goddamnit.

"Blade Runner - time to die" (Watch on YouTube)

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.

Except for an actor, all those moments stay with us. The Hitcher, Ladyhawke, Hobo With A Shotgun, Flesh + Blood ... and of course that little movie Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Rust zacht, Rutger.

Oh, I haven't seen that one in... over 30 years, I guess. Maybe time to rewatch.

I haven't seen it in a long time either...the two that make the rounds every once and a while are Blade Runner of course, and LadyHawk. The others are harder to find. I think I found Flesh + Bone in a video store in the 1990s. Someone stated they saw a censored version of it on television -- which is hard to imagine, not sure that story would make sense censored.
