"It is an odd bit of synchronicity that Roy Batty, his character in Blade Runner, also died in 2019 (per the movie)."
Not sure if I've spoken on this forum or another ( yes I am a sad lonely geek ) but fucken Blade Runner and Dune both give me the screaming shits because I CANNOT decide if I really like them as movies or not ?
Talking RH so will discuss the former......
Am I too dumb to get it ? was I pissed off at Harrison Ford playing such a fallible character ? ( actually Han Solo and Indiana Jones fucked up loads so scratch that )
Was I annoyed at Roy for killing himself ? Was Rachel a replicant ? -

The last BR was so flipping awesome, so very clever
And yes Rachel was.
It was obvious Gosling was when he overpowered Batista like he did. ( incidentally the latter has to surely be THE best wrestler turned actor ever ? )

Seriously dude. How about Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.

Legendary role but he didn't even do his own stunts.
Turns out lugging a 200kg frame with three added people was beyond him and if there's anything your old mate @MN5 knows it's how to climb ropes.

He couldn't do anything at that stage. Couldn't even catch the woman at the end. She was on wires.

I watched the original before the recent one came out with a mate who hadn't seen it and he thought it was utter garbage whereas I think I still have some residual love for it due to 80s video watching.
And I'll get this out of the way, I agree with @Rancid-Schnitzel, I love Blind Fury, also The Salute of the Jugger etc and RH's performance in them ... but I actually find the tears in the rain speech in BR to be pretty laughable when watching the movie.

Died yesterday. RIP.
Harley Race Was Harder Than Hell
The eight-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion died at age 76, even though it seemed like he was way too tough to die

Apparently even Andre the Giant was scared of him.....

Never watched Home and Away but this guy was only 41 and judging by the phone numbers at the bottom of the story you can guess what happened and thats fucking sad.
My mate Paul took his life three weeks ago, he was 49 and took his wife leaving him very badly . He left behind a lot of sad angry people who loved him.

@jegga what @Paekakboyz said
Cheers, is anyone else noticing in their extended circle that this seems to be happening amongst middle aged men more often these days?
Yeah man sorry to hear that.
I don't know if it's happening more now or if we're just more aware? I had a couple of cousin's commit suicide in the mid 90s and a couple of (adult) family friends committed suicide in the early 90s, plus I knew a girl at high school and one at uni that had their stomachs pumped after ingesting pills., I'm not 100% certain but I think the uni one succeeded a few years later. So I guess personally, I was always aware back then.
