Terribly sad news about the passing of Bill Paxton today. He’s been a constant in my movie-going experience since I was very young. I’ll always remember his roles in Weird Science and Appllo 13 but mostly as Simon in True Lies and Hudson in Aliens. Everything I read about him backs up what I thought just from looking at him; that he was a kind, generous and all round good person. Plus, he remains the only actor to be killed by an alien, a Predator and a Terminator.  Best wishes to his family and friends.

Goodbye Bill. Fear is not an option!
