  Paxton portrayed one of the best Marvel villains I have ever seen. He was great in movies like "2 Guns", "True Lies", "Tombstone", "Hatfields & McCoys" and "Apollo 13".
  
  Damn, I'm going to miss him. R.I.P.

  To be fair, they were all British. Yes, even Burt Kwouk. But still, I agree with you, they should have been mentioned.

  Here's a Bill Paxton tidbit you may not have been aware of -- with a tribute by Bill Mumy (from Lost In Space & lots more stuff besides that.) Yum! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bill-paxton-fish-heads-video_us_58b4585ae4b060480e0a66f3

  Bill Paxton? This is so sad. He always seemed to exude the power of tree in bloom.
  R.I.P. man!

  RIP Bill Paxton. Only actor to be killed by a Terminator, Predator, and an Alien. That right there is greatness

  RIP Bill Paxton.
  
  This really came as a shock! Certainly unexpected, thank you for the wonderful impact you had with some classic roles and characters.

  Now, I must say that his heydays were before I was born (not by much, but still), but he was always put as an example in the years that followed.

  French television pioneer, producer and director Jean-Christophe Averty, has passed away at 88. His variety shows were not always to the liking of everyone, but they didn't leave anyone indifferent, that's for sure :

  Comic book artist Dave Hunt has passed away at 75 from cancer. Although not one of the big stars in the business, his work has appeared in many titles from the Big Two at one time or another.

  I've learned today that bass player Trish Doan passed away in february. She played for the metal band Kittie and was 31. Wait, what ? 31 ? What could have happened ?

  Yes, only a year or so younger than me. It certainly puts life into perspective...

  I run a weekly pub quiz and in the last two weeks I have asked questions about John Surtees and Sister Sledge, only to hear about their deaths a few days later.
  
  Should I just avoid questions about living people...... or start taking requests? ;)
