Behold! My latest creation!

Inflate your Upload Space

As a casual movie goer, I have noticed an alarming trend with the actor Bill Paxton. He stars in Aliens, Club Dread, Predator 2, Terminator, etc.

He also dies in all of these movies. So I decided to create a website dedicated to the study of this phenomenon.

http://www.billpaxtondies.com

He doesn't die in every film he's in, but he nearly dies in a vast number and gets killed in plenty.

Paxton doesn't usually die first. Er... I think. Although in Terminator and Next of Kin...

1) you need to have proper titles on your pages, like "Bill Paxton Dies - Movies - Weird Science" instead of just "Weird Science"

2) you also need to drop the times font. use tahoma or verdana, or if you really want a serif, use Trebuchet MS

3) the menu buttons and death toll graphics dont match the title graphic and should be changed

4) use metatags

5) dont put your email as simple text on the page, it will be scanned by spambots. use a contact page

all in all, good job!

I love movies where Bill Paxton dies, because he's a shitty actor.

I didn't say he was shitty in everything. But in the vast majority of his roles, he is indeed shitty. Even Keanu Reeves is "good" in roles written to suit his style, but when he's out of his range, he's utter crap. Likewise Paxton, who just happens to have an extremely narrow range.

The form buttons on Apolyton are fugly due to extra code you have in them. They don't conform to the Windows widget appearance.

I, personally, often feel sorry, for some reason, for these actors, who had a moment of 10 of amazing cinema glory, yet somewhat faded away, and noone remembers their name ( I, for example, had no idea who's Bill Paxton).

Another actor ( a much more famous one, tho ), is Adam Baldwin.

For a while back in the 90s I'd have said Michael Biehn was more the a 'oh so when does he die in the film' kind of actor...

Abyss, Terminator, The Rock, etc... are the ones I can quickly recall of Michael biting the bullet in variously unpleasant ways.
