Mark Kermode remembers Bill Paxton
-
My 2 favorite films that Bill stared in were "A Simple Plan" & "Trespass." In both films I mentioned Bill plays an ordinary guy [A feed mill supervisor & a firefighter] who is driven by volatile situations to cross lines he wouldn't otherwise cross.
I know most people will remember him from the blockbuster hit "Titanic." I detested that overhyped cinematic piece of romantic crap. Plus, it went on too darn long in duration. Does it really take over 2 hours to discuss a poor kid & a girl about to marry a rich dude she doesn't love? The boat collides with an iceberg, cracks in half, & passengers drown or die a slow death from hypothermia. There you have it. All the essential plot points in less than 2 minutes folks.
Man, I was stunned & bewildered over how many movie patrons loved the "Titanic" from the yr 1912. Whatever. The whole picture is sentimental bull...you know what in my estimation.

Thanks for the clip on Mr. Paxton Bogie. You're cool. I've got no qualms with you at all my friend. I just roll my eyes at theatre buffs who were moved by James Cameron "Titanic" feature presentation I guess. End Rant.
Bill did seem like a down to earth guy though & I'm sorry he died so suddenly so unexpectedly in the end.
