HOLY COW!



The next letter just said, "Bill Paxton". I thought, ok, I can do this, I will just go on wiki and get some info about Pax and make some funny comments and then hit post and then check facebook and then make a sandwich and then just keep on living my life. But guess what, Bill Paxton is crazy, and awesome!



Here basically lets just copy paste Bill Paxton info from wiki and look at pictures of him. Ok?

First of all, check out all this cool shit!

Paxton has played many distinctive and memorable characters, including the sneering older brother Chet Donnelly in John Hughes' Weird Science; the loud-mouthed Colonial Marine Private William Hudson in James Cameron's Aliens; astronaut Fred Haise in Ron Howard's Apollo 13; the sadistic vampire Severen in Kathryn Bigelow's film Near Dark; tornado researcher Bill Harding with Helen Hunt in the blockbuster Twister; the treasure hunter to whom Rose's story is told in Titanic; and the sleazy car salesman in True Lies. Paxton has the distinction of being one of only two actors, the other being Lance Henriksen, who has starred alongside an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator. He further holds a distinct honor of being the only actor to have been "killed" by all three, as each of his characters in these films meets his end during conflict with the lead antagonists.

Omg, I forgot about Twister. Twister and Titanic?! That's awesome! And most importantly, Alien, Predator, and a Terminator!!!!!!!!!! Killed in all THREE! AWESOME!


Also, this actually sorta drives me crazy

Paxton appeared as a treasure hunter searching for a diamond in the wreckage of the RMS Titanic in the 1997 film. Four years later, he joined James Cameron on an expedition to the actual Titanic, a film about this trip, Ghosts of the Abyss, was released in 2003.

Just cuz you were in the movie titanic doesn't mean that you are a titanic expert. Save room on that titanic expedition for a real titanic expert. Also, why Bill? Why wouldn't you invite that old lady on your trip? Or Kathy Bates?
In 1988, Paxton and the vocalist/guitarist Andrew Todd Rosenthal formed a short-lived rock duo Martini Ranch. They recorded and released just one album entitled Holy Cow, which included input from Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale, and Alan Myers, all of whom contributed to the album's modest hit "How Can the Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?"

Sorry guys I just ordered all the copies of Holy Cow for myself. None left for you. Can't wait till they ship out!
As an eight-year-old, Bill Paxton was in the crowd waving when President John F. Kennedy emerged from the Hotel Texas in Ft. Worth, Texas, on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963. There are pictures at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas where the young Paxton can clearly be seen astride the shoulders of an unidentified man.[3]

Bill Paxton, American Hero!!!!
