Talk:Bill Paxton

If you want to split hairs, didn't the aliens simply take Hudson away to be impregnated? I don't remember actually seeing him dying. If that's the case, technically he was killed when the reactor blew up. --Funkychinaman 12:53, 11 December 2011 (CST)

From Aliens to Predators to A Bright Shining Lie to dead at 61. Much too soon. --Mazryonh (talk) 12:26, 26 February 2017 (EST)

"Game over, man! Game over!"
Damn shocked and sad that had to ring so true today. Definitely gone too soon, and he seemed quite well, also! Bah. RIP sir, hope you got out of that chicken-shit outfit and sold that Vette that makes 'em wet. StanTheMan (talk) 14:17, 26 February 2017 (EST)

Damn it. I'm going to miss him. Rest In Peace Mr. Paxton. --Jcordell (talk) 14:58, 26 February 2017 (EST)

James "Mij" Cameron offered his feelings regarding Paxton's death:

I've been reeling from this for the past half hour, trying to wrap my mind and heart around it. Bill leaves such a void. He and I were close friends for 36 years, since we met on the set of a Roger Corman ultra-low budget movie. He came in to work on set, and I slapped a paint brush in his hand and pointed to a wall, saying "Paint that!" We quickly recognized the creative spark in each other and became fast friends. What followed was 36 years of making films together, helping develop each others projects, going on scuba diving trips together, watching each others kids growing up, even diving the Titanic wreck together in Russian subs. It was a friendship of laughter, adventure, love of cinema, and mutual respect. Bill wrote beautiful, heartfelt, and thoughtful letters, an anachronism in this age of digital shorthand. He took good care of his relationships with people, always caring and present for others. He was a good man, a great actor, and a creative dynamo. I hope that amid the gaudy din of Oscar night, people will take a moment to remember this wonderful man, not just for all the hours of joy he brought to us with his vivid screen presence, but for the great human that he was. The world is a lesser place for his passing, and I will profoundly miss him.

On a side note, someone needs to get a copy of HBO's A Bright Shining Lie and make a page for it on this wiki. It was a good made-for-TV movie about the Vietnam War that the late Bill Paxton starred in. --Mazryonh (talk) 15:31, 26 February 2017 (EST)

Rest in Peace, Bill Paxton. Farewell to an iconic actor whose work in movies and television will be remembered for generations to come. He left this world much too soon, and he will be missed.--Alienqueen11 (talk) 18:34, 26 February 2017 (EST)

Well said. Well said.--Jcordell (talk) 21:40, 26 February 2017 (EST)

His death was a damn shock to me and my family since we grew with him, The Terminator, Weird Science, Apollo 13, Predator 2, True Lies, Titanic, Twister, & Aliens, R.I.P. Bill Paxton, God bless your soul. I'mallaboutguns.1 (talk) 22:07, 26 February 2017 (EST)
