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. Most of the dialogue from the scene was apparently ad-libbed and ultimately cut short for the original release of the movie. It's a very moving scene for a violent yet ultimately...

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.

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. Science-fiction horror is also notable for producing some of the best examples of science-fiction regardless [...]

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...

I hate not being productive. I folded laundry and vacuumed two rooms, and that was enough to force me to sit down for a while. I want to channel Rutger Hauer and scream out “I want more life health!”. …but I think that the gravitas of that moment would be somewhat undercut by then [...]
