Are you a "Blade Runner" fan? It's one of few science-fiction movies that 'holds up' over time instead of looking dated and that makes it something of a mainstream classic as well.
Rutger Hauer, as his robotic existence is about to end, has one of the best pieces of acting you will see, when he says, "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 Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Science 2.0 fave Dr. Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, invokes a little of that mystique in his column, and for that reason alone he is our cool link for today.
