He apparently died of complications from surgery. He was only 61.

I never thought he would make it back from the moon

I have always enjoyed his work from Aliens on up. We lost a good one. Respects to the family.

For an early indie, One False Move. Not for the squeamish, though.

In his honor we should change the "We're doomed" comments for the next week to "Game over, man. We're dead meat man!" (Paxton from Aliens)

Dang. Great talent gone too soon. I will have to watch "Twister" tonight in his honor. Followed by "Weird Science". RIP, Bill Paxton.

He directed The Greatest Game Ever Played about Francis Ouimet beating Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in a playoff for the 1913 US Open. The Golf Channel airs it regularly if you've never seen it. One of the best golf movies ever made, in my opinion.
