I can't enjoy that. Even more so since I read the comments of religious wingnuts on IMDB after it came out. They were all excited and that's a disaster waiting to happen.

I was going to say the same thing, he was a douchebag in that movie. Yet it's still a great film.

That film wouldn't have been so good had he not played such a douchebag, and played it so well.

The greatest understatement of a line I ever heard in a movie: "That's Wyatt's brother Chet. He's kind of an asshole."
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

History Channel's miniseries, "Hatfields & McCoys." He played Randall McCoy in that one. I thought both Costner and Paxton did a good job with their roles

Just read that Bill Paxton died of a stroke following heart surgery.

The first movie I remember Bill Paxton in was 'Tales from the Crypt', where he plays this redneck who always has a block of butter to munch on.
I really liked him in 'Frailty'.
I think it was a brilliant movie.
It wasn't a religious movie, it was a psychological horror and the final twist was that it was all real after all.
Anyway, sad news.

I woke up with a mega hangover yesterday and to make it worse my phone was buzzing with news of Bill's death. It's almost like every time I drink a celebrity I like dies. It keeps happening. God is clearly trying to make my hangovers both physically and emotionally brutal.

I liked Frailty okay, too. The ending, I thought, was Serlingesque.
