All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Welcome back Roy! Four more years, or do you hope for a longer run this time around?

I just watched that with my son last week - never grows old! The best of the best non-cgi effects!

As I recall, Ridley Scott says that Rutger Hauer improvised those lines himself because he thought the scene was deadpan as written. Now it is one of the most memorable in all sci-fi movies! Great stuff!

Blade Runner was iconic. I was going to say that I just hope they don't try to remake the movie.

But then again, there are tons of follow-ons or remakes which I've never paid attention too.
