@jegga The only actor to be killed by an alien, the terminator and the predator.

I'm a big fan of Tombstone but also like Aliens and True Lies.

Wasn't Lance Hendrickson liked by all 3 too?

[jegga]

@Bovidae lance Henrikson shares that dubious distinction. He was great in edge of tomorrow too.

@NTA Nah theres that Buried movie. He's excellent in that.

Huh?

[Bovidae]

I haven't watched Aliens in a while but did Bishop die? I thought he survived despite being ripped in half.

[jegga]

He was briefly revived in aliens 3 but he was pretty much fucked after being torn up

[Kirwan]

Guess I've got to the age where my childhood favourites are starting to get old enough to start dieing regularly. Another real shame, hard not to like Bill Paxton in anything he does.

Yep, but Paxton was the first.

RIP Bill Paxton , toss up between Aliens and One false move as my favourite of his films

Billy Bob was a mean mofo in the latter.

RIP Bill. My favourite role was Coconut Pete in 'Club Dread' ( comedy by the same guys who did Super Troopers )

Funny as fuck.

He was a badass villain in Near Dark.

I didn't see it, but I heard that Mormon series he was in was pretty good.

Nobody going to rate his work in Twister or Mighty Joe Young? Ah well, the pay check was probably phenomenal.

Thought he was awesome in Aliens and was generally a big fan of his work. Real shame.

[Tim]

The movie he directed, Frailty, was good. A very entertaining watch.

Yeah he went from a pussy who bitched and moaned into a genuine badass who took out a few Aliens.

Also great in Predator 2 as the smartass cop.

La La Land.

I would have given this a solid 3.5 because I love Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling together, and when they weren't singing (I tuned out in the musical numbers, they just didn't grab me) this was a decent story and they are cute. But then came that last minute.

Fuck you, you fucking bastard fluffybunny writer director who gave a Stone/Gosling love marriage baby montage then ripped it away and ended the movie without a HEA. FUCK YOU.

May you be doused in syrup and staked to an anthill.
May your balls be crushed in a vice.
May you be forced to listen to Justin Beiber and watch reruns of Melody Rules UNTIL YOU DIE.

Zero stars. Because FUCK YOU.

[Bovidae]

Paxton had supporting roles in some decent movies in recent years (e.g. Nightcrawler, Edge of Tomorrow).

[Bovidae]

@Mokey Can I be happy La La Land didn't win the best movie award (despite the fuck-up at the presentation)?
