Big Dave Bautista bagged himself a brief scene in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner sequel thirty five years in the making, playing the role of beefy robot farmer Sapper Morton - Brock Lesnar, in other words.

His mumbled monologue didn't earn him any personal plaudits, but the film's stunning visual artistry gave him the right to tenuously bill himself as 'Academy Award Winning' in future action flicks, after it rolled home in the Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects categories.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
