People talk about Jurassic Park but this guy had an absolutely incredible career. 

 

As a big horror fan, Event Horizon, Mouth Of Madness and Dead Calm all classics IMO. 

 

I rewatched Hunt For The Wilderpeople just the other week. It's awesome. 

 

Also seemed like a proper gent, a super humble and unassuming guy who lived a quiet life away from the nonsense of Hollywood on his New Zealand farm. 

 

RIP Sam Neill. 

Possession, absolutely insane film.

Thoughts with his family. I suppose. Guess they're upset. Probably.

Ah come on 

doesn’t everyone deserve a little bit of respect on the day they pass? 
 

he was only 66 - he could have still been writing and broadcasting for another twenty years!

He was a deeply unpleasant and creepy guy but sure, we're all God's creatures. RIP

I thought you were talking about Jimmy Cricket.

Fun reading the Rod Liddle social media discourse, which consists of a couple of people posting shouldn't-speak-ill-of-the-dead type stuff, vastly outnumbered by folk saying he was a massive piece of s*** and I'll say what I want. 

 

Someone pointed out, and I think they've got a point, that Rod Liddle wouldn't be remotely arsed about any of this given that he has made a pretty successful career out of being the worst person he could possibly be so to be sad that you're not mourned on your own death would be a bit rich

Have you listened to the original classical version? It's a thing of beauty.

 

 

But this was a damn good version for the modern era and it might have brought classical music into young peoples lives.

I you've ever seen the film Platoon, it's used brilliantly there on the soundtrack.
