Nice to see that he's keeping up with current events.

Wow. Just in time.

Does he talk about Xanadu?

The absurd "thing" called Hatfields and McCoys?

Well, that's unexpected. Although, I'm sure there is some guy who always plays 'B' movie villians that has those numbers absolutely crushed by an order of magnitude.

You're thinking of Bill Pullman. Bill Paxton is the one who hit the 3 pointer that beat the Suns in 93.

BTW another guy who dies in most of his movies is Ving Rhames. Even the low budget straight to DVD ones where he's the only actual name in the cast.

I am a Paxton born and bred...we can all be traced to 1 family coming over, so I love these threads

I interviewed Bill for a movie he directed back in the mid 2000s... he is an INCREDIBLY nice guy. At the end of the interview I asked him if he was aware that Chet from "Weird Science" was listed as one of the top 20 movie douche bags in Maxim magazine. He asked "Who was #1?" and I told him it was Niedermayer. He said to me that he created the character of Chet as a cross between Niedermayer and Sgt. Carter from Gomer Pyle.

teto85: You forgot the last series of Torchwood

He wasn't in Children of the Earth

/Much like the Matrix sequels and Highlander 2, the planned Miracle Day arc never materialized.

I was actually surprised to learn he was behind that Barnes & Barnes "Fish Heads" video. That song was one of my childhood favorites, but I always thought the video was a little creepy. It's interesting to see the story behind it, and that the guy who created it went on to act in many movies and TV shows I've enjoyed!

How could they ask that many questions and not bring up WTF was going on during this movie.

teto85: I watched an episode of Miracle Day with one of Bill's sisters and her family. One of her daughters said that "Uncle Bill is really really creepy." She had to watch "Ruthless People" to recover.

Yeah, it's a shame he wasted such a wonderful performance on such a terrible terrible story.

GreenAdder: Apos: Who's been killed off more onscreen,Bill Paxton or Sean Bean?

You forgot Michael Biehn. You need someone to buy the farm in an action movie in the 80's or 90's, you hire him. Sure, he lived through "Aliens," but then that third movie came out...

and, for someone that I don't think has ever played a villain I think Carl Weathers deserves some recognition for on-screen deaths.

I like his priorities there.

Those of you who watched Night Flight may remember this little ditty.

/Directed by James Cameron, costarring Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Jenette Goldstein, Judge Reinhold, Brian Thompson, Adrian Pasdar and Bud Cort

Bill's the only guy to be killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator!

T.M.S.: Wow. Just in time.

At least Bill seems to have gone to the trouble of speaking to someone from that part of Appalachia, probably by phone. The rest of the cast, with the possible exceptions of Mare Winningham and Powers Booth, have the poorest excuses for hillbilly twangs I've ever heard.

"Where's the pig?"
"It's done been et."
Yanked right from the court transcripts, no doubt.

zez: How could they ask that many questions and not bring up WTF was going on during this movie.

I thought I was the only person in history to see that movie.

Bill Paxton was awesome in Ruthless People!

No mention of Club Dread? He was the funniest character in that movie.

DAMMIT NOW YOU GOT THAT SONG IN MY HEAD!

/Fish heads fish heads roly poley fish heads fish heads fish heads eat them up, yum!

One Bad Apple: ArkAngel: One Bad Apple: Apos: Who's been killed off more onscreen,Bill Paxton or Sean Bean?

Bean might have the numbers but only Paxton has the triple crown of being killed by a terminator, an alien and a predator.

Lance Henriksen also has that distinction.

Lance (as Bishop) was not killed by the alien queen he was only torn in half. In the third movie it is Sigourney (as Ripley) that mercy kills him.

/Triple crown denied

I could be misremembering but as I recall Ripley had to find a way to turn Bishop back on in the third movie. His body was dumped and he was essentially dead.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the ID4 reference?

Homer: "Hey, don't blame me, this movie is tired and predictable. You know she's going to wind up marrying Richard Gere."

Dr. Hibbert: "I thought she was going to wind up with that rich snob."

McAllister: "Ably played by Bill Paxton."

Homer: "That's Bill *Pullman*, you fool!"

Fort Worth's own.

/He was great in True Lies.

Thanks for that.

Apos: Who's been killed off more onscreen,Bill Paxton or Sean Bean?

To be fair, Paxton has been killed by a Terminator, an Alien and a Predator. That's sort of the holy trilogy there. Bean can't even come close to making that claim.
