    Every time I see Bill Paxton, all I can think of is Chet in Wierd Science...

    You can't do a role like that and expect me to take you serious as an actor later in life.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    "Hey, that looks pretty good. Now make yourself one... dickweed!"
    "Did you spit in this?"
    "How 'bout... a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?"
    My favorite --> "He pukes, you die."
    Chet

    Classic flick :cool:

    Was that the one where he was like... delusional or something? I vaguely remember it as being one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen.

    Pullman was most recently in "The Grudge", right? Great flick. Frailty freaked me out, too.

    Yes, the reporter screwed it up, too. Stupid media... Oh, wait, I am the media... damn.
    “I’ve had one too many Paxton stalkers ending up outside my home,” said Pullman, who in 1996, landed a starring role, opposite Helen Hunt, in the special-effects blockbuster “Twister.” Since then, his career has taken an upward turn and Pullman is getting more leads than ever, according to several internet websites.
    ...
    Paxton was given a lead role and subsequent dose of cult stardom in “Spaceballs,” Mel Brooks’ “Star Wars” spoof. Fans will also remember him from the 1996 hit movie, “Independence Day.”
