Contest: ENTER Scifi/f Av Contest: All Things Bill

[auntiehill]

Thanks to @Aragorn for the idea :in honor of the late actor Bill Paxton, a man who starred in many genre films, this week's contest is devoted to all things Bill--I'll even bend the rules a bit to include things not necessarily genre. Still, there are a lot of genre films and tv shows from which to choose: Terminator, Aliens, Agents of SHIELD, Near Dark, Edge of Tomorrow, Spy Kids 2, Frailty, and I suppose one could make a case for Twister, True Lies and Mighty Joe Young being "fantasy" films. But, hell, if it has Bill in, we're good to go.

Please post the name of the film with the entry.

Standard Av rules apply: 200 x 200 pixels max, 1 MB max. I'll put the poll on Monday, the 6th.

To get us started, here's mine:

Weird Science

 

[Avro Arrow]

Sorry, I can't *not* enter his turn as Fred Haise in Apollo 13...

(Hmm... I used Fotoflexer as an interim because PB is zonking out on me right now, but it seems to handle animated gifs oddly. Will update entry to PB once it starts behaving...)

ETA: There, that's better.

^That's not SF, though. I mean, science, yes, but not fiction.

I've always considered it a "genre" film, but I guess I can understand the argument the other way, too. But since auntiehill said:

then I'm assuming it's good either way.

 

[auntiehill]

^Yep, we're good.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Alright, then.

If anyone posts an avatar of Bill 'sploding in the Agents of SHIELD S1 finale, I would definitely vote for that.

"Now I'll be unstopa..." ZAP!
