We've got the Blade runner directors cut DVD. Maybe this evenings film.
Blade runner was a great film. All the old icons are leaving us now.
The DVD is called "The final cut" collectors edition with an intro by Ridley Scott. Great film and a fitting tribute to a fine actor.
2 Disk set with a documentary "The making of blade runner"
They were thinking people's films. They have tended to make quite a lot of inane stuff since the golden age of sci-fi.

Joe Longthorne dies at Blackpool home
Entertainer Joe Longthorne, whose career spanned five decades, has died aged 64.
Best known as a singer and impressionist, he regularly appeared on TV shows and toured overseas.
It was only until I just did a quick search about him did I recall who he was. How quickly they can be forgotten...
He was part of a small group of entertainers who used to keep the country entertained on prime time tv for years, I wish he could've remained on tv longer before he and the others got pushed out by the likes of Simon Cowell and co and all the reality type contest shows that now dominate the airwaves on the weekends.
RIP Joe.
How terrible that for most of his adult life he was fighting one illness after another, but he still came back fighting. Here's a little montage from youtube:
TV chef Gary Rhodes, 59. RIP.

His devastated family said: "The Rhodes family are deeply saddened to announce the passing of beloved husband, father and brother, Gary Rhodes OBE.
"Gary passed away last evening at the age of 59, with his beloved wife Jennie by his side.
I remember when he burst onto our screens with the spiky hair. Younger than I am.
