Bill Paxton Rip (1 Viewer)

[Ghost Rider]

Was't he the used car salesman in True Lies?

One of his two greatest roles ever, along with Weird Science, IMO. 

"### like a 10-year old boy."

Surprised at the love for twister.  That movie really blew.

What did he play in these?

He was Chet in Weird Science, the ######## older brother.  He had most of the best lines.

That's right, I remember that now, thanks.

 

[Soonerman]

Forgot about Big Love also.  He did some pretty good work in that show.

Almost as good (from Weird Science):

"For Christ sakes, would you cover yourself?!"

He was one of the nameless guys in the platoon in "Stripes". He didn't have any lines.

I had to google this.... HFS it's real! 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I read that almost every day for thirty years someone would say game over, man to him, but he never got tired or frustrated with hearing it. He felt gratitude, would always smile or give a thumbs up, and react as if that was the first time someone had said it to him.

We're going to pretend you didn't just say that. 

In honor of the classiness of Mr. Bill Paxton.

 

[Brony]

Just was watching weird science yesterday. "That's no joke. That is a severe behavioral disorder" so good

Guilty pleasure of mine too. So awful it's actually enjoyable 

 

[Aerial Assault]

Aw, this is really sad.  I wonder if he was really ill, hence the heart surgery.  :(  

I always, always enjoyed his performances, in everything.  U-571 is one of my favorite underrated movies of all time and he was outstanding in Aliens and Tombstone.  Will forever live on as "Punk Leader" who supplies the Terminator with some new vocabulary for its linguistic database.  More than decent in Titanic as well despite corny dialogue that wasn't his fault.  He had a great turn as a villain on S.H.I.E.L.D. two seasons ago as well.  And just started the Training Day "reboot," which will now naturally not be brought back.    

:(   RIP  :(  

 

[NREC34]

Him, Tom Hanks and Ron Howard came onboard the USS New Orleans to film part of Apollo 13. I will always remember him for that since I was there too. 

 

[Politician Spock]

Guilty pleasure of mine too. So awful it's actually enjoyable 

I always want to eat steak and eggs after they crash at Aunt Meg's for "FOOOOOOD!!!!"

 

[Pop Tart]

:( Loved that guy.  Twister is always my #1 "guilty" pleasure movie.  So great.

His new show, Training Day, is a good one.

RIP

 

[gump]

The quotes from other people he worked with are a really good look at what kind of guy he was...everyone loved him.

[Da Guru]

Underrated.  Will be missed. RIP.

Not by us...Have seen Twister at least 5 times.

 

[Judge Smails]

Bummed.  Way too young.  RIP Bill.  

 

[pandora]

Saw someone post

Only man ever to be killed by a Terminator, Predator and Alien

Technically he wasn't killed by an Alien.

 

[Jayrok]

RIP, Morg.  Definitely will miss you.  

 

[Max Power]

Coconut Pete was one of my favorite characters.  RIP and thanks for the laughter.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Technically he wasn't killed by an Alien.

He was dragged down the floor vent by an alien.

I think you're thinking of Gorman.

Ah yes, you are correct.  I was thinking it was Hudson that was with Vasquez when she blew them up.

Thanks for the correction.

Chet: Lady, I wanna get to the bottom of this. ASAFP. 
Lisa: Oh, so do I. 
Chet: But first I'd like to... butter your muffin. 
Lisa: Why do you have to be such a %^&*@!? 
Chet: Because I get off on it! 

Chet: I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad everything. I'm even considering makin' up some ####!" 

Chet: How 'bout a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray? 

Chet: You two donkey-##### couldn't get laid in a morgue. 

Chet: It's time to pay the fiddler... 

He was a great Chet.

 

[Politician Spock]

Twister is on AMC right now.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Twister is on AMC right now.

 Let's not disparage the dead.  Too soon, imo.
