Fans of Deadliest Catch seem to have found one cast member who really gets on their nerves. While there are many unique characters, many with short tempers, on the show, one has stood out. Fans do not like Wild Bill’s attitude and how he treats others. They even recently compared him to The Real Housewives.

Here is a look at what people are saying about Wild Bill on the Discovery Channel series.

Deadliest Catch Fans Complaining About Wild Bill

Captain Wild Bill has an intimidating reputation for Deadliest Catch. However, he is also a captain who gets things done and has extensive experience as a commercial fisherman. With that said, he can also seem very abrasive, and fans think he is getting worse as time passes, always wanting to fight those around him.

Andy Paley, a prolific songwriter, producer and musician who collaborated with such artists as Brian Wilson, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Ramones, Madonna, Elton John, Patti Smith and Deborah Harry, and who composed the scores for SpongeBob SquarePants and other TV shows, died Wednesday, November 20, of cancer. He was 72.

“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Brian’s friend and collaborator, Andy Paley,” a post on Brian Wilson’s official Facebook page reads. “Andy was literally instrumental in Brian starting his solo career with his critically acclaimed 1988 album, Brian Wilson. Andy played electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards, harmonica, and provided backing vocals. He co-wrote three of the songs, including “Rio Grande.” Andy collaborated again with Brian on the legendary, unreleased Wilson-Paley Sessions, counting more than twenty songs. Brian always called him ‘The Genius Andy Paley.’ Love and mercy goes out to Andy’s family and friends.

It has been decades since The Predator hit the screen, giving Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch the opportunity to lead his team on a mission where they face off with the Og extraterrestrial, played by Kevin Peter Hall.

Decades down the line, we have witnessed Arnie switch trades, donning the mantle of the Governor of California (twice!) and coming back from politics. In the meantime, we have been treated to 4 more iterations of the franchise, with one more set to follow next year. But it’s not the same this time around.

One neat aspect of the original "Frasier" series is that it featured a bunch of bonafide Hollywood legends as guest stars we never actually got to see. While many renowned actors showed up in the physical — from Michael Keaton to Linda Hamilton — many more only lent their voice to the beloved sitcom, calling into Frasier's Kacl talk radio show for some advice from the good doctor. In fact, before she appeared on the show's fourth season as Molly, a potential love interest for Frasier who quickly gets away, Linda Hamilton herself called into Dr. Crane's radio show in the pilot episode, voicing the character of Claire, a woman struggling to get over her ex-boyfriend.

Over the course of 11 seasons, many more prestigious guest stars called Frasier for advice. Kevin Bacon, Mary Tyler Moore, Carrie Fisher, Billy Crystal, Macaulay Culkin, Helen Mirren, and Bill Paxton are just some examples. But it wasn't just actors.

An original M-41A Pulse Rifle? An actual xenomorph egg? They’re just some of the props from Aliens going up for auction this month.

Assuming you have plenty of space and an awful lot of money, some iconic bits of sci-fi movie history could soon be yours. Among the many wonderful items in its upcoming entertainment memorabilia auction in London, Propstore has a huge array of props and ephemera from James Cameron’s 1986 classic Aliens up for sale.

You’ll find a full-sized Power Loader arm, which is expected to sell for between £40,000 and £80,000. There’s an original M-41A pulse rifle, a full-sized xenomorph egg and even the Colonial Marine armour once worn by the late Bill Paxton.

It’s easy to imagine being a millionaire, buying all of these items, and replicating a battle scene from Aliens in our kitchen. “Let’s rock!” we’d shout as...

The late, great Bill Paxton had a long and varied film career, beginning with his directing of the "Fish Heads" music video for Barnes & Barnes. He also appeared in the duo's videos for "Love Tap," "Soak It Up," and "Ah Ā," as well as in Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night." During this stretch, Paxton also moved into feature films, turning up in genre films like "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker," and "Mortuary," as well as the cult comedy "Stripes" and the glorious Walter Hill rock musical "Streets of Fire." 1984 saw Paxton's first collaboration with director James Cameron, when the actor appeared in "The Terminator" as a punker that was murdered by a vicious, nameless robot from the future (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Paxton was the punk who had blue spiked hair and a tire-tread tattoo on his face.

"The Terminator," made for an uncharacteristically modest $6.4 million, would go on to earn...

Members of the armed services can and will argue amongst themselves, but in the minds of people and pop culture, Navy SEALs loom large as the picture of the United States' most elite military men. We can probably thank the fiction of Tom Clancy, and the fact that a Seal team that killed 9-11 mastermind Osama bin Laden, but Hollywood has been enamored with the special operations force for at least the last three decades. When a character in any movie is declared to be either a current or former Navy Seal, it's a given that they won't go down easily. When we discuss the most ruthless thing a U.S. president can do short of a nuclear strike, more often than not it's, "Send in Seal Team 6!"

While movies often take artistic license, it's fair to say that some of the movies featuring Navy SEALs are significantly more accurate than others,...

Does Mark Wahlberg have a third nipple? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Ahan, that’s right. Mark Wahlberg – Hollywood heavyweight, fitness mogul, and action hero – has a third nipple. And he’s not alone! Turns out, extra nipples are more common than you’d think, with stars like Snowpiercer’s Tilda Swinton, pop singer Lily Allen, and the late Bill Paxton all joining him in the third-nipple club.

So, how common is this unique body quirk? The condition – scientifically called “polythelia” – affects an estimated one in every 500 people or about 0.2% of the population. But not all extra nipples are created equal! Researchers in the early 1900s set up a whole classification system for them. There’s category six, which is just an extra nipple without an areola, and the far rarer category one, known as “polymastia,” where the extra nipple comes with entire breast tissue. And Wahlberg? He falls in that classic category six,...

Even early into its theatrical release 10 years ago, Dan Gilroy’s 2014 thriller Nightcrawler felt like an instantly timeless classic.

There is simply no arguing with Frank Darabont: the man who brought us The Shawshank Redemption and The Walking Dead, two of the greatest existentially dramatic pieces of film/television in pop culture history. Nominated for 3 Academy Awards, the filmmaker has been behind some of the best (and some of the worst) films in Hollywood simultaneously.

When it comes to Darabont’s work as a director, Tom Hanks’ 1999 film The Green Mile definitely falls into the “one of the best” category. A stylized tale of magical realism set on death row, this 4 Oscars-nominated movie was a masterclass in acting, directing, and storytelling cobbled together to give the audience an unforgettable experience.

After a successful theatrical run, ultimately grossing $371 million worldwide, Twisters will finally make its streaming debut. The film is slated to be released on Peacock this November. The exact release date is Friday, Nov. 15, 2024.

Twisters was helmed by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) from a screenplay written by Mark L. Smith. In addition, Smith wrote the script based on a story by Joseph Kosinski.

Twisters is a disaster film serving as a standalone sequel to the 1996 classic Twister, which starred Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, and Cary Elwes. It follows former storm chaser Kate Carter, who finds herself lured back into the field of storm chasing when her friend, Javi, reaches out and asks her if she wants to help out with testing a new tornado tracking system.

She, Javi, and their team travel to Oklahoma and eventually meet popular social media star Tyler Owens and his team of storm chasers,...

Fans of actor Bill Paxton — and we are legion — likely know that he made his directorial debut in 1980, helming the music video for Barnes & Barnes' immortal classic "Fish Heads." The video, made on a very, very low budget, featured Paxton as a buyer and enthusiast of the titular ichthyoid crania, shown throwing them a birthday party and generally enjoying their company. The video also featured a cameo from Dr. Demento, the famed Los Angeles DJ responsible for proliferating hundreds of well-known novelty hits, and for bringing "Weird Al" Yankovic to the world's attention. Paxton was a weird, wonderful man who ran on the fringes. The fact that he became a well-known mainstream star is kind of wild.

Paxton, of course, began appearing in feature films in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starring in notable genre films like "Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker" and "Mortuary." Many likely first noticed him in...

A new episode of the What Happened to This Horror Movie? video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at the 1990 film Predator 2 (watch it Here), which blends the genres of horror, sci-fi, and action. This one isn’t as popular as its predecessor, but does have a solid fan following of its own. To hear all about it, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Stephen Hopkins (Judgment Night) from a screenplay written by Predator writers Jim Thomas and John Thomas, Predator 2 has the following synopsis: Los Angeles is enduring a heat wave and a crime wave, so the pressure on police officer Mike Harrigan to solve a strange string of murders is mounting. Harrigan thinks the culprit can be found among the warring gangs and drug cartels, but FBI Special Agent Peter Keyes knows the horrible truth: Their killer...

In 2001, beloved actor Bill Paxton already had classic roles in legendary films like Aliens and Tombstone in his rearview mirror. A man known by audiences as one of the best character actors to ever grace a screen. But also, an actor who could take any situation… no matter how outlandish… and ground it in reality. Because he had the aura of the everyday man. A dude’s dude. Known by some in the plain lands as “The Extreme.” Or by others as the sleazy car salesman who tried to bang Arnold’s wife. It was at this point in his career that Paxton came across a role so nuanced that he knew there was only one way to handle it correctly. He would, for the first time in his career, have to direct the feature film himself. Paxton was about to use that loveable, regular Joe persona and put us all at ease.

Director Cosmos Kiindarius made his feature directorial debut with the 2016 thriller Stand, which was about American brothers who head out into the Vietnam jungle and get trapped in a mine field that was left over from the war. Now he’s about to head into production on his second film, a psychological horror tale called Dirt, and he has gotten some genre icons to join the cast. Dirt will feature Malcolm McDowell of A Clockwork Orange (and the Rob Zombie Halloween movies), A Nightmare on Elm Street heroine Heather Langenkamp, and Courtney Gains from the Stephen King adaptation Children of the Corn. Also in the cast are James Paxton, who recently appeared in Twisters and happens to be the son of Bill Paxton, Emily Tosta (Mayans Mc), and Owen Vaccaro (The House with a Clock in Its Walls). Filming is set to begin in New Mexico this November.

It has been 40 years since one of the most prolific science fiction franchises of our time, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, debuted on the big screen. Ever since the actor debuted as the ultimate cyborg to save the future of the human species in the first film, released in 1984, it has spawned five more films, games, series, comics, and more.

Yet, now it lies dying, having lost much of its charm with each successive film. While Schwarzenegger himself had exclaimed last year that the world has moved on, the franchise creator James Cameron himself candidly reiterated similar claims, at the same time giving us the only solution that can save it.

Antoine Fuqua's 2001 cop drama "Training Day" is notable for its hellish tone, gritty photography, and amazing central performance from the incomparable Denzel Washington. Indeed, "Training Day" won Washington his second acting Academy Award for playing LAPD Detective Alonzo Harris, the most horrible and corrupt cop on the force. Ethan Hawke plays Jake Hoyt, the cop assigned to learn from Alonzo on the day before his promotion. Hoyt will get a disturbing crash course in how deeply the violence and corruption of the LAPD really runs. 

Although Alonzo is a terrible person, he's an appealing villain, and many viewers came to love his gnashing and displays of brazen power. Alonzo's line "King Kong ain't got nothing on me," written by David Ayer, was briefly a part of the oft-repeated pop canon. "Training Day" was Fuqua's third feature as a director (after "The Replacement Killers" and "Bait"), but it was the...

We're midway through September, and Netflix has been releasing tons of great content on its platform. I don't know if you've looked at the streamer's top 10 movie list lately, but there are currently three action movies ranking on the list that are definitely a must-watch.

“Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” MGM

One of the most hotly anticipated home video releases of the year is here – and it was worth the wait. Sam Peckinpah’s highly contested western, about an older Pat Garrett (James Coburn) hired to track down and kill Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson), was taken away from the filmmaker in post-production and released in a truncated version that he and several of the cast and crew members outspokenly derided. This Criterion release acknowledges and engages with the various iterations of the movie, with 4K discs devoted...

When you think of Tom Cruise movies, the first action movies that come to mind are probably the Mission: Impossible movies or the Top Gun movies. Those are two of the most successful action franchises featuring Cruise, so that makes sense.

Despite Cruise being well known in the action space for those movies, along with the death-defying stunts performed while making those movies, there's another of Cruise's action movies that often gets forgotten.

That movie is Edge of Tomorrow, which premiered in 2014, and it's back on Netflix celebrating the film's 10-year anniversary! If you're looking for what to watch on Netflix, you can't go wrong with Edge of Tomorrow.

Do you ever wonder how a film can turn its actors into overnight household names, almost like they won the fame lottery? Well, let us take you back to the iconic year 1997 when Leonardo DiCaprio starred in James Cameron’s Titanic opposite Kate Winslet.

Alongside DiCaprio and Winslet, the film featured a mesmerizing array of talent, including Bill Paxton and Billy Zane. Not to mention, the film waltzed away with 11 Oscars, including prestigious accolades like Best Picture & Best Director.

Although DiCaprio missed out on an Oscar nod for his portrayal of Jack Dawson, he did nab a Golden Globe nomination. So, what’s the catch? Director Steven Spielberg once expressed his regret, feeling like he inadvertently turned the Romeo + Juliet star into a “prisoner” of his own fame.

Pictures & Amblin Entertainment When the 1996 action movie Twister hit theaters, it was a box office tornado, sweeping audiences off their feet. With a stellar cast including Oscar-winner Helen Hunt and the unforgettable Bill Paxton, directed by the action maestro behind Speed, Jan de Bont, and produced by the legendary duo Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, it had all the makings of a blockbuster. A sequel seemed inevitable, but fans were left waiting… and waiting. 28 long years later, Twisters finally arrived, proving that the storm hadn’t calmed. What caused the decades-long delay? Frank Marshall, who returned to produce the sequel, shed light on the factors that kept the project grounded for so long. (Click on the media bar below to hear Frank Marshall) https://www.

It is impossible to think of disaster films and not think of Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton as Dr. Jo Harding and Bill Harding in ‘Twister’. Jan de Bont's film was the second-highest-grossing film of 1996 and had a very significant impact on popular culture, becoming a fan favorite and influencing storm chasers all over.

The late actor Bill Paxton was more than just a versatile actor, for he was a true Hollywood legend who carved a name for himself through his legendary portrayals in some of the biggest science fiction franchises of all time. Having passed away in 2017, the legend left behind a unique legacy and the rare distinction of being the only actor to be killed on-screen by the iconic trio: a Terminator, an Alien, and a Predator.

A unique trifecta that sets him apart from other actors in the industry, Paxton’s ability to seamlessly transition between different genres and characters not only made him a fan favorite star but also earned him his much-earned $40 million net worth!

Tom Cruise is known for his extreme commitment to his roles, no matter how death-defying they may be. From intense preparations for his dramatic roles to doing his own stunts, Cruise gives it all to entertain the audience most authentically and spectacularly.

One of his most underrated films remains Edge of Tomorrow, which has surprisingly funny moments for a film about an alien race destroying the world. Cruise played a soldier who gains the ability to respawn after death and hence becomes a powerful weapon. Cruise reportedly worked extensively to develop different screams for the death scenes.

"I think it is the most critical situation we've faced so far in the manned space flight program." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film titled Apollo 13: Survival, a gripping look at the true story of what really happened on Apollo 13 in the spring of 1970.

Using original footage and interviews, this documentary tells the nail-biting story of Apollo 13 and the struggle to bring its astronauts safely home. Everyone knows the famous Apollo 13 movie starring Tom Hanks & Bill Paxton (from 1995 - which is one of my favorites), but this doc features actual footage and tells the real story.

Of all of horror’s many sagas, few have produced such complex and dynamic female characters as the Alien franchise. From space-trekking astronauts and idealistic scientists to outlaw clones and alien queens, this cinematic galaxy is bursting with inspirational – and sometimes despicable – women fighting for their own survival.

Though Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) remains the series’ most enduring character, each chapter in the century-spanning saga either delivers a new female warrior or expands our understanding of the story’s original survivor.

Alien (1979)

Ridley Scott’s Alien sets the tone for a landmark series in cinematic female empowerment. The Uscss Nostromo is not only guided by an AI system known as Mother, two women occupy prominent roles in the disparate crew. When their mission is interrupted by a new directive from executives of the Weyland-Yutani corporation, the disgruntled team lands on...

Alien (1979)

In the first film, the crew of the Nostromo – Ripley, Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Ash (Ian Holm), Kane (John Hurt), Parker (Yaphet Kotto), Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) — answer a deep-space distress call that will prove fatal for most of them. Four decades latter,...

Alien has been Disney-fied. It hasn’t been softened or sanitized for a younger audience. It has instead been tweaked and studio-noted to mollify executives, under a clear, deeply misguided mandate to make product camouflaged “for the fans” in service of The Company. This mandate includes, but is not limited to: 1. including at least one recognizable character or characters; 2. if the actor responsible for that character is deceased, deploy a gluey, CGI replica in their place. Let’s add: 3. catchphrases and callbacks, unmotivated or illogical, are a must; 4. all of the above are doctrine, because market research indicates they bump up the CinemaScore by half a letter grade or more.

It’s a dire, inhospitable environment, wherein corporate interests can give way to ghoulish monstrosities, and those just trying to navigate the chokehold of capitalism are doing their best to survive. In a way, Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus may...

If you feel it, chase it -- that little pearl of wisdom applies to obsessive storm-chasers and humble movie fans, alike. Despite its somewhat ham-fisted attempt to connect itself to a preexisting franchise (if the original 1996 movie can even be called that), "Twisters" felt like a breath of fresh air upon release this past July. In my review for /Film, I called it a "satisfying, crowd-pleasing effort [that] somehow rides the fine line between its IP obligations and a refreshingly self-contained experience" and I stand by every word. Sure, its impressive box-office performance was fueled by a number of factors (not least of all the Glen Powell Effect), but deep down I believe audiences responded to its throwback charms as the kind of Amblin-esque movie that we simply don't get enough of anymore.

Although it was practically made to be experienced on the biggest screen possible, that likely won't stop anyone...

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the small screen adaptation of 1980s movie “Weird Science,” which aired from 1994 – 1998 on the USA Network.

I probably sound like an old fogy when I say this, but the USA Network of the cable television heyday was drastically different than the USA Network we have today. Back in the early nineties, USA Network was a free for all of weird, fun entertainment. There were adult cartoons, erotic thrillers, “Up All Night,” sports events, a large Saturday morning cartoon line up, classic horror movies, Troma double bills, and there were even kung fu movies every weekday morning.

USA Network also aired the primetime TV series adaptation of “Weird Science.”

The classic John Hughes sci-fi comedy from 1985 was adapted in 1994 into a mostly faithful TV version that took everything scandalous about the original film and amped up the ridiculousness by about fifty percent.

In a world where intimate scenes have become a part and parcel of cinema that helps explain human connections, Glen Powell’s latest movie Twisters sparked controversies for yanking a kissing scene between the leads. Leaving audiences high and dry with simply tornado-chasing plots, the 2024 follow-up generated significant buzz for their bizarre decision.

So much so that even Zack Snyder, who is practically the reigning monarch of on-screen passion was left scratching his head in bewilderment. After the filmmaker recently released the R-rated versions of his Rebel Moon films, Snyder addressed the controversial choice of editing a kissing scene between Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, that left him reeling.

Glen Powell’s Twisters Sparked Outrage After a Controversial Editing Decision

After initially generating positive remarks on social media, upon its release, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Twisters suddenly began sparking controversies.

It’s actually next to impossible to forget the heart-stirring saga of Jack and Rose in James Cameron’s epic masterpiece, Titanic. Has there ever been a love story quite like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet’s characters in the 1997 film that has been hailed as a treasure while also being panned by many critics?

Indeed, not even the frosty reception of some critics could overshadow the warmth of Jack and Rose’s love story which, to this day, causes a stir among film aficionados. Old Rose (Gloria Stuart) tells treasure hunter Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton), his crew, and her granddaughter about Titanic’s story, as they had never heard of Jack Dawson (played by DiCaprio).

According to Reddit users, Jack was not the nice guy Rose mentioned in her story; rather, he was a jerk, who actually met Rose for...

"Tombstone" may now be considered one of the most beloved Westerns of the late twentieth century, but the film had an incredibly rocky path from the page to the big screen. "Tombstone" was intended to be the directorial debut of "Glory" screenwriter Kevin Jarre, but when he fell behind schedule a month into the shoot, producer Andrew Vajna fired him and brought in veteran helmer George P. Cosmatos ("Rambo: First Blood Part II" and "Leviathan") to ostensibly drag the movie to the finish line.

We've since learned that, after Jarre's departure, the driving creative force on "Tombstone" was star Kurt Russell. Cast as legendary lawman Wyatt Earp, Russell brought a semblance of order to the wayward production by streamlining the lengthy screenplay with producer Jim Jacks. His instincts proved plenty sharp. By foregrounding the unlikely friendship forged between Earp and the tuberculosis-stricken gambler/gunman Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer in one...
