In Memoriam

[horrie hastings]

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Just found out Richard Hatch - Apollo from the original Battlestar Galactica - passed away on Feb 7th. Pancreatic cancer, 71.

Man...when I was a kid, the cylons were well ace. That voice still sounds cool today. I always just seem to remember BG as 'movies' on the Video 2000 shelves. Now I know they were just cobbled together from the tv show.

RIP.

I watched the theatrical release of Battlestar Galactica on blu ray probably about 6-8 months ago, I also remember seeing it at the Forum Theatre near Central in sensurround, the same theatre that showed Earthquake there in the same format a few years earlier.
My earliest memory of Richard Hatch was in The Streets Of San Francisco, I remember my sister being upset that he had replaced Michael Douglas in the series.

RIP both Richard Hatch and Peter Sarstedt

Can't believe we've just lost Hudson

 

[The Mad Hatter]

So many Bill Paxton Movies I loved.

Weird Science, Aliens, Navy Seals, True Lies, Frailty, Titanic...his bit in Terminator.

61 isn't old either.

:-(

True Lies, Twister.... Way too young, and had just started a tv series on the movie Training day

One of those guys you grow up watching and enjoying his performances. RIP mate.

Commando. He played a small role in that movie too. He was awesome in true lies though.

 

[horrie hastings]

Yes that was another shock to wake up to, only 61.
Unfortunately I still remember him in the horrible live movie version of The Thunderbirds.
Loved True Lies.

RIP.

This one has hit me quite hard.
I'm a diehard, self confessed Alien franchise tragic.
I woke up this morning and it was literally the first thing I saw (turned my alarm off, opened up Chrome on my phone to check the football scores, and it opened my last tab which was the news site)

Just, wow. Not Hudson.
I've met many of the franchise stars including Drake, Bishop, Hicks, Prisoner Golic. I was really, REALLY wanting to add Hudson to the list

A cinematic legend, just look at the list of movies he has been in!
I dare say, I may shed a tear over this.

RIP Bill Paxton.
Never saw a performance from him I didn't like.
Another taken too soon.

Weird Science was a great movie.

RIP Chet.
