      Event Horizon is (I'm told) a deeply flawed film but I absolutely loved it and it scared the shit out of me as a teenager. Neill was brilliant in it. Glad to see it represented here.

      The legendary Sam Neill has died.
      
      He was 78 and had been battling stage 3 blood cancer, but announced in the spring that he was cancer-free.
      
      His family described his passing as “sudden and unexpected.”

      Look, I’m an open source maintainer, and if you want people to use that FOSS software as an alternative to that proprietary software it’s good to understand why people wanted to use that proprietary software in the first place and why they might be hesitant to switch
