*praying he didnt "Do a David Carradine"*

Apparently complications from surgery.

I just said his name yesterday telling someone about "The Greatest Game Ever Played". So sad.

He died from complications from surgery. Fuck!! I really liked all of his performances. From Chet to the new "Training Day". Great actor who was always "on the edge". Damn..RIP.

T-ski · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2017, 09:11:18 AM »

for those that haven't seen it, check out his movie "Frailty".

slow, creepy, psychological film with Matthew McConaughey.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2017, 09:26:58 AM »

He was an incredible actor and in some of my very favorites. He will be missed

KevShmev · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2017, 09:39:36 AM »

Dang, he was still young.

Good, solid actor.

Tombstone, Weird Science, Titanic..all really good flicks that he starred in.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2017, 09:44:35 AM »

Couldn't place him in Titanic. Had to Google it to remember he's in all the present day stuff.

Hyperplex · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:06:02 AM »

I always liked him. I liked him a lot in Apollo 13...damn.

KevShmev · « **Reply #12 on:** February 26, 2017, 12:53:25 PM »

I forgot to mention his role in True Lies, which he stole the show in for about 30 minutes.

"Take her, take her, oh god don't hurt me!"

I'm not going to bother quoting his classic lines because there are just way too many. Dude just had such a unique presence that others have tried to immitate, but no one has been able to capture.

We love you man.

NoseofNicko · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2017, 01:13:10 PM »

Oh man... I loved him. R.I.P.

Architeuthis · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2017, 01:33:22 PM »

Total bummer! He was great in Aliens and Twister, Titanic, and many more..

All of this. He is in my top 10'of all time favorite actors, IMO he nailed every role he played. This is so sad, especially the circumstances. Really bummed to hear this

TioJorge · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2017, 02:29:15 PM »

Echoing others. Really sucks and was unexpected to say the least. The guy always seemed to be working and I can't remember not ever seeing a movie if I didn't know he was in it and exclaiming "Hey! Bill Paxton! Nice!", like I did with Edge Of Tomorrow and Nightcrawler. Damn...

Yup, he was awesome in the movie. That and Aliens were my 2 faves of his.

MetalJunkie · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2017, 04:13:05 PM »

Crazy. I bought Tombstone last week and had been watching it on repeat.

DragonAttack · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2017, 05:24:24 PM »

I had read 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' well before the movie came out. As a golfer and fan, the story is more than remarkable. I thought what Paxton did in the movie was so well done and often superbly done.......except: I tired of the 'men in the shadows' crap (I guess they were tuberculosis henchmen?). Oh, and the story was dramatic enough without pulling a Disney by having Francis Ouimet holing out a putt on the last hole to win. The fact is that he beat Harry Vardon by five strokes, and Ted Ray by six. Using the natural drama of trying to close out with the lead is just as compelling. And a tad more factual.

(if one were to do the 49ers-Broncos SB for a story, we wouldn't write it as a 28-27 thriller)

anyway, I've seen Apollo 13 a dozen times, parts of it another 50 or so times because it always seemed to be on the tube, and is a good movie to relax/fall asleep to. And many of the others he was in. Just seems odd to me that he was 61, as he was someone who always looked so damn young and healthy.

Just read his bio. What a great sense of humor. I'll never forget seeing 'Fish Heads' when it first aired on SNL (which he directed)

Great actor. Every role was memorable. And different. Seemed like a chill guy. RIP

Prog Snob · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2017, 07:27:44 PM »

I forgot about Twister and, continuing his affinity for disaster films, Titanic. Let's not forget the brilliance of Big Love. Such a great show.

RIP.

I loved his cameo in Barnes and Barnes Fish Heads video too.

PetFish · « **Reply #26 on:** February 26, 2017, 11:32:07 PM »

Great actor. Great career. Great loss.

What are we gonna *do*, man?! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO???!!!!!

His iconic "Death of Hudson" is ripped-off so much but that's cuz it's just so great. I'd be willing to bet that James Cameron would have planned a spot for him somewhere in the new Avatars but now we'll never see it.

Can't believe it. One of the first movies I remember liking was Twister, followed his career since.

Hudson had so many great lines in that movie....it was such a neat character and he MADE that character awesome.

Unbelievable. So sudden and unexpected. I know exactly how his loved ones feel. I really enjoyed his acting and all the movies he was in. Two of my favorites were Aliens and Twister.

RIP
