I was in Wakita years ago after the filming of Twister visiting with the town foreman. He said he had asked for years to get money allocated to spray for mosquitoes, which he never got. Helen Hunt made the comment that if she was bitten by one bug she was out of there. Spraying happened immediately courtesy of Hollywood. I asked him what she and Paxton were like. He said she was a ***** and Paxton was just like one of the locals, engaging people, throwing the football with kids and never complaining.

Master Sergeant Farell: Private Kimmel, what is my view of gambling in the barracks?
Kimmel: Dislike it, Sergeant Farell.
Master Sergeant Farell: Nance, why do I dislike it?
[Farell holds out the pack of cards]
Nance: Cause it maintains the notion that our fate is in hands other than our own.
[each soldier takes a card from the pack Farell holds out]
Master Sergeant Farell: And what is my definitive position on the concept of fate, chorus.
Squad: Through readiness and discipline we are masters of our fate.
[Cage watches as soldiers eat the cards they were gambling with, Farell walks over to Cage]
Master Sergeant Farell: You might call that notion ironic, but trust me, you’ll come around.

For any of you that have not seen Edge of Tomorrow, I highly recommend it. I'm sure that some of you thought it was just another cheesy Tom Cruise movie and stayed away. I think it is an all around fantastic movie.
