The original CoconutPete Dead. RIP.

[CoconutPete]

I was sad to learn yesterday that Bill Paxton died at the young age of 61.

He made a lot of cool movies, but no matter how many, my favorite will always be Club Dread where he played CoconutPete and also served as the inspiration for my name anywhere I go on the internet (My Avatar is Bill Paxton, most people don't realize it).

RIP Bill.

Yup - saw that on the news yesterday. I liked him in Apollo 13.

61 is young - what a shame.

"A Simple Plan"
That was an insane flick.

He was one of my favourite actors. You're right Pete, 61 is way too young.

Was he the guy who turned into a pile of poo in the movie weird science? LOL. I liked Bill in the movie Twister. My ( at the time new)Yamaha 400 watt Dolby surround sound stereo system with klipsch speakers and a 12 inch sub rocked that Twister movie like a champ. Thanks Bill. Rip.

...the 'punk' with the tire track on his face in "The Terminator", bartender 'Fred' in "Streets of Fire", 'Hudson' ("...Game over, man"...) in "Aliens", the list goes on and on. He made a lot of movies, some more memorable than others, and will be remembered by them. Most recently in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Probably woulda lived longer if he didn't go to the doctor... Rest in peace, dude.
