If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut.

Bobby "Linn" Haynes
R.I.P.
1975-2008

Some of you may not be familiar with Linn Haynes. Linn has been a film scholar and enthusiast working behind the scenes for years to get rare and unappreciated martial arts films the kind of release and respect they deserve. Only in the last few years had he succeeded and went to work as an adviser to BCI and Media Blasters. Linn has been a well known fixture at many popular film forums and was one of the most knowledge, polite, and decent people out there. He will be missed. I personally never got to know Linn, but the mutual love we shared for film, the work he did to give foreign film a voice in this country, and even the fact we worked for the same company, make me feel like he was a brother. You will be missed.
