Thursday's Ways Not To Die

.














Aliens (1986)

A very happy 76th birthday to Lance Henriksen today!

That picture (via) is my everything today.  (And before any of you comment about it: YES I am aware that Bishop is a robot and doesn't actually "die" in this scene.) Anyway in case you missed my report last week from the "Alien Day" screening of this movie featuring a Q&A with Sigourney Weaver herself (during which she had very kind words of Mr. Henriksen) click here.

And hit the jump for links to the rest of
our long-running "Ways Not To Die" series...
