From my email: Blade Runner is a 1982 American science fiction film, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young. The screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

Released in 1982 and often reincarnated in the years since, Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner speaks to a future that only a futurist of a certain bent could love: a world so used up that anyone who can afford to leaves it to inhabit space colonies off the shoulder of Orion, while those who cannot afford to---and the ill, the elderly, and, by appearances, most non-native speakers of English---are stuck...

Continuing with this holiday's theme of sitting on my arse watching movies and drawing characters and scenes, today's is from Blade Runner . My all time favourite scene from the movie is Rutger Hauer 's character Roy's death scene.

Because it wouldn't sell, says Pitchford. It's hailed a sci-fi masterpiece, starred Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, and even had an eerie PC point-and-click spin-off in the '90s, but that hasn't stopped Gearbox Studios rejecting the chance of making a sparkly new Blade Runner game. It's reasoning is simple: it'd cost a bomb to make, and would barely sell a dribble... Click here to read the full article...
By Simon Abrams SPOILER WARNING IN EFFECT “You know, you don’t have to do this,” a concerned sheriff, one of a veritable parade of local police officers, tells Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) at the end of The Hitcher . By that point, after having been worked over thoroughly and completely by sadistic drifter John Ryder (Rutger Hauer, bogeyman par excellence), Halsey’s answer...
Science-fiction and horror seem to go hand in hand. Sci-fi usually involves futuristic foreboding or fear of the unknown, and this works well with the frightening realisation of the darkest depths of the human mind that define the horror genre.

I spent most of this afternoon with my feet up. I honestly can't remember the last time I've enjoyed a day off more. One of the movies I sat watching while sketching this afternoon was Ladyhawke , which I remember being quite fond of as a kid, but I probably only ever watched it once, or maybe twice. These are a few of the better doodles done while watching the movie, although I wasn't really going...

When Barbarossa begins the world will hold its breath and…yawn! It has begun, though I suspect it’s not the Barbarossa that you are thinking of, the Barbarossa invoked by my opening sentence. It is, rather, an all Italian production, a cinematic epic released under the title of Barbarossa (Red Beard), the name once given to Frederick I of Hohenstaufen, king of Germany, king of Italy and...
