I’ve watched Twister for different things at different times.

What red blooded American guy didn’t enjoy Helen Hunt?

Bill Paxton was the solid piece of the puzzle that glued the movie together. Helen Hunt couldn’t have been the obsessed character without Bill’s trying to be sane character.

The travelling freak show of characters that made up the Hero troupe commanded by Jo (Helen Hunt).

Jamie Gertz as the Reproductive Specialist who was herself obsurd and pointed out the idiocy of the people and events around her: “we have cows”!

The evil big money “science” team in the corporate black SUV’s who had all the tools and no sense of things.

The special effects were perfect without over powering the characters and acting.

All in all a great movie that is a bit underrated.

Bill, I’m going to watch Twister again today. Just for you.

Bill Paxton, the only actor to be killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman was in that, too.

It will be weird to rewatch it, especially the scenes with both of them present.

I love the line by Preacher of all people...
“Is there an F5...What would that be like?”.
“The finger of God.”
