Those born in the 30’s seem to be.

My generation won’t be. I’m 48 and it’s my fault.

When I lived home i ate REAL italian food. Beans, a little meat, eggplant...

When I moved out in my 20’s, I ate fast food certainly 2000 times since then.

I always enjoyed him in his roles.

This came as a bad surprise. Really sorry to hear this news.

Don’t know what what his politics were, but he was a great actor.

I guess the fact I don’t know what his politics were, must mean he kept
it personal, which is the way it should be.

Exact same thing happened to my Uncle. Practically any surgery has a risk of throwing a clot.

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.

The man made a pretty fair living out of dying.

Really liked his role in Day After Tomorrow with Tom Cruise.

"Edge of Tomorrow" aka "Live Die Repeat" based off the Japanese manga (and later novel) All You Need Is Kill.

"Day After Tomorrow" was that terrible Roland Emmerich global warming disaster movie.

Dang. I recently signed up for HBO & started watching Big Love a couple of days ago.

Even though I hate polygamy, the show is good & his character is actually sympathetic.

It will be harder to enjoy the show now. RIP.

The real Apollo 13 crew and the movie Apollo 13 crew have something in common. They are both missing a crew member. RIP Bill “Fred Haise” Paxton.
