Totally did not see this coming. RIP Mr. Paxton.

He just took all the wind out of the sails of foaming-at-the-mouth indignation for tonight's Academy Awards.

[Jack Hydrazine]

He was great in the ‘80s movie, “Weird Science” who played the character, Chet.

Twister is my girl’s and my movie that we watched over and over while dating. We can both recite almost every line by heart. She is not taking this news well, as just last week she found out Wentworth Miller was gay. RIP Mr. Paxton I enjoyed your talent.

Rest in peace, Bill. I was hoping you’d be with us for a lot longer.

Prison Break is coming back on! I just binge watched all seasons again to get ready for the new one.
I can hear Bill Paxton’s voice in my head. Was unique.

[SecAmndmt]

Some memorable movie roles over the years.

RIP

Sorry for Julie Benz, Training Day just started. BTVS began 20 years ago March 10th. She was great as Darla. "Julie Benz

I looked it up and he was just a few weeks older than I am. I remember when 30 was too old.

RIP Bill Paxton! Having 3 wives in “Big Love” must have been a contributing factor in his early demise!

[Rusty0604]

According to Heavy.com he had heart surgery and suffered a fatal stroke during post operation complications.

[BradyLS]

Bill had several great lines from that movie:

---

"Is this gonna be a stand-up fight? Or just another bug hunt?"

---

"Stop yer grinnin' and drop your linen. I found 'em."

---

This little girl has spent the last three weeks down here, alone, with these things running around.

"That's great! Why don't we put her in charge???"

[Pappy Smear]

"In case you didn't notice, we just got our asses kicked!"

That's from Aliens. As for another of his movies, they filmed a lot of "Twister" near my house. Wasn't here at the time, but the old timer locals say he was a good guy, friendly to talk to at the local watering holes and such.

[Moonlighter]

Sure was. That and Spaceballs were a couple more favorites he was in. Shocked to hear this. Wonder what kind of surgery he had.

[PapaBear3625]

I liked him in the Agents of Shield series.

that was Bill Pullman

WTF??!

Colmes yesterday. Bill today.

These guys weren’t in their 90s.

RE: #38;

The media keeps telling us we are living longer.

I’m beginning to wonder if that isn’t some more of their “Fake News”.

Good actor. His role in Big Love was probably one of the reasons Romney lost.
