    Bill Paxton RIP - Game over man... Game over....

    FFS! Another classic character gone

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39097834

    Actor Bill Paxton, who was best known for his role in the sci-fi classic Aliens, has died at the age of 61, US media report.

    Paxton had reportedly suffered from complications following surgery.

    The Texan actor's biggest hits included The Terminator, Apollo 13, True Lies, Titanic, and 1996's Twister - in which he starred opposite Helen Hunt.

    Jamie Lee Curtis, who co-starred with Paxton in True Lies in 1994, tweeted her sadness, writing: "Nooooo. Bill Paxton is gone. Such a funny, talented, loving human."

    Arnold Schwarzenegger, who acted alongside him in Terminator and True Lies, said: "Bill Paxton could play any role, but he was best at being Bill - a great human being with a huge heart. My thoughts are with his family."

    Tom Hanks, who appears with Paxton in the forthcoming film The Circle, said: "Bill Paxton was, simply, a wonderful man. A wonderful man."

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    When you glance over his CV on IMDb you suddenly realise how many awesome movies he was in, and how he was such a solid performer.

    Just a few weeks ago he was on the WTF podcast: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episod...on-dylan-brody - and he seemed like such a thoroughly decent dude with a good attitude on his life and work.

    RIP Bill Paxton.

    Storm chasers - inspired by Twister in their youth - did a really cool tribute to Paxton.
