Big trees. Big silence.
The old bush man got real quiet.
Nobody said skux.
We just rewatched The Dish and drank a glass to both Sam and Tom.
The last time we watched, it was projected onto a bedsheet hanging off the back of my delivery van at Aileron Roadhouse in the middle of Australia surrounded by optical telescopes, a 2m portable broadband vSat dish, with the Sungroper solar car team during the 2003 World Solar Challenge … vying for the most remote internet cafe … we lost out to Mount Everest 😁
So this is what my grandmother was talking about when she said getting old was watching beloved friends and actors pass away.
It been a rough year. Chuck Norris and Sam Neil. I think i want to get off this ride.
The only way Chuck Norris could die is if they cloned him and the clone roundhouse kicked him in the face. So that must’ve happened.
Wow, what a shock, he made COVID fun during lockdown.
I’m glad he got to see Montana before he passed.
One ping only, Vassily
star of two of my favourite movies of all time, Jurassic Park and the Warhammer 40K prequel (it is, admit it) Event Horizon.
The Emperor Protects, Sam.
Event Horizon is my favorite sci-fi/horror movie.
Definitely a top 10 on the sci-fi list
He was a bio essentialist terf. Rest in piss, sam. Won’t be missed.
Sam made some bangers, for sure. Event Horizon was terrifying.
Damn, this one hurts
Where he’s going, he won’t need eyes to see…
Damn this is a shock to me. RIP to a fantastic actor.
Oh damn, dark reference. Well done.
Tbh I didn’t really think about the implications of the quote, just that it’s a good quote from one of my favorite Sam Neill movies, and seemed like a decent “epitaph” kinda thing I guess.
But yes very dark reference lol.
First actor i ever recognized after seeing Jurassic Park at like 8y/o
Wow… do I feel old right now
I’m gonna go watch Death in Brunswick now.
Respect
