John Hurt was a wonderful actor with a bunch of iconic roles. From the original Alien and 1984, to the Harry Potter and Hellboy franchises, and other random awesome movies like Snowpiercer. It's sad to see him go, but at least we have his wonderful career to remember him by.

Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

When I was in elementary school, the two movies I was obsessed with most were Twister and Apollo 13, which had come out during that period of time. Because I was so fixated on them, I became more interested in their subject matter and started reading educational books about weather and the US space program.

Both films had Paxton in them.
