John Carpenter has released a statement on the passing of Sam Neill:
"I'm heartbroken to hear about Sam. We made two movies together, and every day on set was better because he was there.
"He was one of the finest actors I've ever worked with and brought intelligence, wit, and absolute commitment to every scene, making every moment feel real.
"Beyond the talent, he was a true gentleman. Over the years, I was lucky to call him a friend and I always admired his generosity, curiosity, and quiet sense of humor.
"The world has lost a remarkable actor, father, farmer, and friend. Thank you, Sam, for your extraordinary work, kindness, and the memories.
"Keep laughing at the madness of it for all for us, wherever you are."
❤️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ONE AND ONLY HARRY DEAN STANTON ❤️

Steven Spielberg has released a statement about the passing of Sam Neill.
"Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character [in Jurassic Park] who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children.
"I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him. Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world."

When the world seems close to pear shaped,
When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -

@1jcmaxwell Living relatively close to Gillette Stadium here in Massachusetts, I feel your pain. Really wish @FIFAWorldCup would've just stayed the hell away.
Marcia Lucas has sadly passed away at the age of 80.
She won an Oscar for editing the original STAR WARS film, where she was described as the “heart” of the film who brought the magic alive.
On This Day In Movie History

STAR WARS - Directed by George Lucas and starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, premieres in the US
@1jcmaxwell Y'know, I usually don't care when a director gives themselves a little cameo, so long as it's in the background and they're not drawing attention to themselves. A close-up like that's a bit unnecessary, however.
