RIP Rutger Hauer

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

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.

:(
Cheers.

The star of just about the most iconic movie scene ever, i remember watching Blade Runner for the first time as a kid and being mesmerised by Rutger Hauer.

Spooky thing: I put the "Tears in rain" speech up on my farcebook feed a couple of days ago. Turns out it was after he'd died but before it had been announced.

RIP Rutger :cry:

I have to admit that the news of his passing hit me especially hard. I saw Terri Nunn live on Sunday and she dedicated one of the songs in her set to him. What a unique and charismatic actor he was.

I wachted this particular scene multiple times tonight whilst watching the Blade Runner box set....and it still gets to me how this bit of the film makes me weep. Not just this part of the film... From the first time I saw this movie....it got a hold of me. Off to see yet another cut of the movie and weep again.
