Bill Paxton

Game over, man. Game over.

No chit, Chet.

61 years. Not good.

"You're stewed buttwad!"

Sad to see him go.

"A few cans short of a six pack..."

Dang, I'm going to have to watch Twister tonight now.

Dang!

"Game Over Man, Game Over. What the f*ck are we supposed to do now?"

RIP Private Hudson.

Always enjoyed his work. 61 is too young.

He was the best in True Lies

"How about a nice greasy pork chop, served in a dirty ashtray?" RIP Chet.

What the heck happened? People still die from surgery?

Still think Frailty was way underrated and he did a great job.

I'd like to know myself. They haven't said what the complications were.

Heart surgery. Yes, people still die from it.

Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies posted this on the ST Facebook page:

"I'm extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Bill Paxton, someone I was lucky enough to know and call a real friend. I meet him when I was 16 as we both worked delivering the L.A. Times in the morning. We were the only "young ones" there as most of the people were at least 40.

Bill had moved out to Santa Monica to be an "actor". I told him I was gonna start a band smile emoticon:) He was just an incredibly cool, friendly, optimistic guy that never got discouraged when he couldn't get even an audition for the smallest roles. But every morning at 2am he came into work with a smile. He loved music too, so we'd sometimes go to punk rock shows and then go straight from the Starwood or Whiskey to delivering the morning paper to Northside SM.

So many great stories and times I will never forget. I'm so sad for his family and their loss. It's always hurts when someone passes away, especially when it's too soon and without warning. And the older you get the more often it happens. And each time it does, people think of the good things to say and remember them by.

The special thing about Bill is, I have never heard anyone that knew him, from before his success or during it, that ever had anything but great things to say about him. Truly an amazing person, who literally followed his dream, and never gave up.

Lastly, Someone just sent me this photo. That's the way I remember Bill, not cause he's wearing and SxTx shirt, but that smile. And of course he was an amazing actor and director...but more importantly he was as good a person as they come! Rest in Peace. You will be missed but never forgotten. So proud of you and thankful that I knew you."

Oddly enough, slicing a person open and mucking about with their insides is still a risky thing to do.

Good pick but don’t search for “Twister” as they renamed the movie “1H.53M of Helen Hunt content with some random cows and stuff flying around.”

Well if you put it that way I guess it is....

With lots of wet t-shirt involved.

I just started getting in to Training Day too. Guess there won't be a season 2

A friend's mom died from complications from a very routine surgery a handful of years ago. I think it was an infection, don't remember details. Pretty sure there might even be a release to sign for anesthesia.

My brother-in-law died recently from having a stint replaced. While that is considered "routine" surgery now, I'd still be a little nervous going in to one.
