Syd Mead, whom I personally regard as the father of the cyberpunk aesthetic (although more knowledgeable folk than myself may disagree) has died at 86. From Blade Runner, to Tron, to Gundam, his work has given richness and density to so many science fiction worlds and cyberpunk environments. His influence is as broad as his work is staggering. And will live on in memory and the productions to which he contributed.

Syd Mead.

18th July, 1933 – 30th December, 2019.

My only takeaway from Tron Legacy is that I want Jeff Bridges’ coat.

...okay, second takeaway, I don’t know whether my “Bruce Boxleitner will always look the way he looks in Babylon 5, right?” brain is more perplexed by young Bruce Boxleitner in spandex pants that hide nothing or by Old Man Bruce Boxleitner

seriously not kidding about those pants

@lochley this isn’t even the worst photo I found
