Ars has an article, too. https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/07/christiopher-columbus-kraft-nasas-legendary-flight-director-has-died/
The Register has one up as well : https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/23/chris_kraft_mission_control_obit/
He also appeared in a couple episodes of the BBCâs 13 Minutes to the Moon podcast
They just wrapped up production on that a month or two ago
He was so good at playing scary roles.

Blade Runner, of course, but also Ladyhawke.
I loved him in Split Second, a 1992 action/sci-fi that basically no one else ever saw. It started as a weird occultish mystery thing and then gave up in favor of gunfire and a monster.
I always think of Ladyhawke. I loved the movie despite the awful soundtrack.
I think Iâm going to have to watch that tonight.

Ladyhawke is pretty much the go-to for Bad Fantasy Movie.
I watched it one weekend while in college and it really wasnât that bad, though. Itâs not great, but itâs perfect watchable. Not MST3k bad, certainly.
Methinks I need to watch Blade Runner again.

Wonders if @Nabiki remembers that a comment about Ladyhawke and the fact that I have the soundtrack on cassette is the reason that I originally de-lurked and joined the board five years ago.

Itâs not that the music itself is awful, itâs that it doesnât match the scenes and jars you out of the story.

Uh ⌠zot maybe?
It doesnât quite fit, but âThe De-lurkerâs Guide to De Galaxyâ comes to mind.
We watched LadyHawke the other day. One of my favourite movies, despite its age.
