R.I.P. Bill Paxton

In addition to being an often great, always likable actor, he was a member of Martini Ranch, a Trouser Press approved band. He also directed the video for the Barnes & Barnes classic "Fish Heads."

One blogger's "awful" is another man's Seona Dancing (Ricky Gervais).

Don't forget he pops up as a punk at the start of the Terminator.

This guy was major in my world. He enlivened anything he touched for about 20 years. Barnes + Barnes, Terminator, Aliens, Near Dark, The Dark Backward, Martini Ranch!! The odious "True Lies" was unbearable but for him! The last time ! saw him was in "A Simple Plan." He was too young to trundle off. Sigh.

For further rumination on the Fresh New Sound of Yesterday®

He was great in The Last Supper.

The Last Supper! There's a movie I completely forgot the existence of. I need to dig that up and watch it again.

That's one of the smaller movie sub-genres - "Let's invite some people over and kill them." Arsenic and Old Lace, Eating Raoul and The Last Supper. I'm sure there are others, but I'm not thinking of them right now.

That's it man. Game over.
