We watched Aliens (Alien 2) last night with our daughter...first time for her, the umpteenth time for us. So strange to get up this morning and see the news.

RIP Mr. Paxton.

He was an epic actor - some of the best directors loved having him. Sam Rami, James Cameron.

There is a great indie movie he did in the 90s called One False Move. He did it with Billy Bob Thornton. Great flick. My quotes from him I love are too many to list, but I will leave it with.

One of my favorites. The line in True Lies is one I'll never forget, guess I shouldn't post that.

I met Bill a couple times here in Utah. As down to earth and friendly as you would imagine him to be. Not really a surprise as the Paxton family are good people. I hope tonight's Oscar production is able to find a moment to recognize this decent, humble Man.

Are you kidding me at 61. That is crazy. Complications to surgery?

Just watched Terminator last night, he was the punker with blue spiked hair. My favorite role of his was Chet in Weird Science...shame. RIP

Maybe they'll be able to squeeze something in between political rants.
