okay, i had no idea paxton had anything to do with fish heads. this just isn't fair to pullman anymore.
― strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Sunday, 19 June 2011 19:14 (thirteen years ago) link
so far the argument for pullman, afaicthe sax shit in Lost highwayhe was funny in ruthless peoplehe stood next to some funny people in spaceballsyoung boys twirled around him in newsieshe got through a bad speech in ID4he got through a bad scene in Sleepless in Seattlei also believe he's done some theater
this against the director of both Fish Heads and Frailty, who has been murdered by a terminator, alien and predator, and played the most bad-ass vampire in the most bad-ass vampire movie. plus he's played the lead in a bunch of solid b movies, supreme goofballs in weird science and the dark backward, "coconut pete" in a broken lizard movie, managed to hold his own against three wives for a handful of seasons on HBO, yeah c'mon people.
also, martini ranch.

this poll has inspired me to watch Near Dark, which I've been meaning to get around to for a while now tbh
― Heady Snobbin (Pillbox), Sunday, 19 June 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Near Dark by itself makes Paxton the winner, not to mention Alien, but ever since that Greil Marcus shit I've been a pretty big Pullman defender, like he seemed really hurt and confused about his American berserk face.

As an eight-year-old, Bill Paxton was in the crowd waving when President John F. Kennedy emerged from the Hotel Texas in Ft. Worth, Texas, on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963. There are pictures at the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas where the young Paxton can clearly be seen astride the shoulders of an unidentified man.

RONG, Bill Pullman all the way. Who cares if Paxton was killed by Alien/Predator/Terminator? Pullman would've kicked all their asses, that's why he wasn't cast in the first place!
Nah, Pullman in Lost Highway is fab though

I didn't realize you hadn't seen Near Dark, Traveller, Frailty, Trespass, A Simple Plan...also I got a soft spot for middle-american secret-weirdo actors like Paxton, Dennis Quaid, Jeff Daniels, etc

^^ was said to me in response to my Paxton diss in the HBO thread that helped inspire this thread and uh...it's more or less right since the only one of those i've seen is A Simple Plan, which i liked but don't necessarily think rested on Paxton's shoulders.
Spaceballs is probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting in my preference for Pullman, and i love Zero Effect if not so much for his performance

fun fact of no relevance whatsoever: Bill Paxton played Wyatt Earp's brother in Tombstone the year before Bill Pullman played Bat Masterson's brother in Wyatt Earp

Pullman's such a dullard, I don't know what he's really good for, aside from maybe being like the poor man's Michael Douglas, in the same way that Charlie Sheen used to be the poor man's Tom Cruise. (Except that Sheen was always BETTER than Cruise, even back in the days when Tom was the crazy one.)
Paxton, though - classic alone for the bits in Aliens when he goes all sissy. And for being dosed with angel dust while filming Titanic.

inexplicably, pullman is going to be in the new season of "torchwood" they're doing on starz. he's the villain, so that lowers the likelihood of him making out with john barrowman to say 30% or so.
aw i loved this movie back in the day, me and mom would watch it all the time. bill pullman's grandma was the suffragette mom from mary poppins!
― broke, broke, broke usher (reddening), Monday, 20 June 2011 07:11 (thirteen years ago) link
in the movie, i mean. if it was in real life that might change my vote
From wikipedia:Paxton has the distinction of being one of only two actors, the other being Lance Henriksen, who has starred alongside an Alien, a Predator, and a Terminator. He further holds a distinct honor of being the only actor to have been "killed" by all three, as each of his characters in these films meets his end during conflict with the lead antagonists.

Pullman is aloof, arch, it almost always comes across to me like "I can't really act" acting which is fine, of course, but it doesn't work for me in his case. Paxton does the opposite really, or tries to, and it works for me. But maybe that's just cos I find him hot.

Oh no! I just listened to Dean Delray's* interview with him last week and was starting to work my way through his roles. Damn, what a bummer.
*It was amazing because it felt like Delray had finally found a guest who actually complimented his (often distracting) voice.
