Rutger Hauer Dead at 75

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.

He had a hot ass, but he couldn't live forever.

R2 I hope they say that in his eulogy.

Lost in time.....

There's already a thread

Which didn't show up in a search, R5, as we have said hundreds of times over several months.

Until someone fixes the problem, you're gonna get duplicate threads. Deal.

That poster is merely pointing out an existing thread, so there's really no need for a freakout.

You also forgot to add the classic Dataloungism ("dead to me") in the title, OP.

Oh, wither away and die, self-appointed Hall Monitress at r8. No one is here to play the little repetitive meme games you're trying so bossily to enforce.

No, R5, that's a replicant thread.

He was so hot as Roy Batty (those sexy running shorts!), but he aged pretty roughly. Even for 75, which is old, he looked even older. He must have lived a very hard-partying life.

Temper, temper, R9.

Without Hall Monitresses, DL will descend into anarchy and chaos.

He had his own AIDS foundation, so I wonder if he died of AIDS complications.

I am sorry to lose him. He was unforgettable in "Blade Runner."

Dutch men are usually incredibly ugly, he was not bad.

The search function works perfectly well. Did you even try it?

R8 is triggered! Look out, bitches. This pussy is gonna blow.

Is there any information for the cause of death?

He was not afraid of doing nude scenes.

He was stunning in The Hitcher. Sexual, crazy persona.

Someone pointed out ironically that Roy Batty died in 2019 too.

Art imitating life. That is awesome. Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This really saddens me.

He was Sex.On.Legs. back in the day! Not just in Blade Runner, either. I remember first seeing him playing Albert Speer in the miniseries based on Speer's book. So hot!

R.I.P., Roy.

Oh, man, I loved him. So good in Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, The Hitcher... I had a poster of him in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" for a looonng time.

He turned into my grandmother in his last years!

The other thread had more posts because it used the proper Dead To Me format.

Fuck you, OP

My favorite was the Hitcher, fun little thriller. Siskel and Ebert picked up on the S&M undercurrent between Hauer and C. Thomas Howell, but said the movie isn't honest about it and only hints at it.

The Hitcher is full of UST/subtle hoyay and I loved it for that. A full grown man keeps chasing a young twink after a chance encounter, kills the female love interest in a horrifically brutal way, gets caught and then tries to kiss the twink in front of a room full of cops, and hums a song about a man in love ("Bicycle Built for Two") on his way to jail.

Agreed, R26. I found RH equally sexy and creepy in it, plus the cinematography is awesome.

Roger Ebert gave zero stars to The Hitcher.

....

It was probably cancer. He was a heavy smoker.

Rutger and Peter Fonda...Who will be third?

....

Replicants don't live that long, Dont you know anything?
