At least his fantastic scripts will continue his legacy

He was a great writer and will be missed.

Can't figure out why he dissed "Blue Thunder", it was good film IMO

What!? The writer of one of my favorite horror movies has died!? R.I.P.

This is sad because I think he did a fantastic job on Alien! Hope this doens't affect the Alien Prequel too much. R.I.P.
