RIPs

[JamesC]

Gutted about poor old Bill Paxton - quite a shocker for him to go at such a young age.
As well as turns in all the great films mentioned, I'd highly recommend checking out Frailty in which he both directs and stars. A really underrated gem in my opinion and it's a shame he didn't direct more.

I agree, it is in Netflix

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Damn. You'd think he'd go amongst the last of that group Biehn, Henrikson etc. Awful news for Oscar night.   

[Zarjazzer]

Really sad news about Bill Paxton he appeared in so many great films that I love. Very sad loss and sympathies to his friends and family and colleagues.

That plagiarist stole his whole act from Calvin Klein.

Bernie Wrightson 

One of the most talented artists to ever raise a pencil. I didn't have much access to comic books as a youngster, but I was blessed to have parents who bought me a reprint magazine that featured his Swamp Thing run. Loved it.

He pretty much added atmosphere and weight to anything he drew, and some of his Frankenstein art has to be seen to be believed.

RIP, fella.

[Colin YNWA]

The passing of both Bernie Wrightson and Chuck Berry see the passign of two incredible talents who've helped shape the mediums they've worked in.

That's pretty sad news in both cases.
