Buckle in folks. This is the beginning of something wonderful.

I’ve always wanted to watch the AVP movies chronologically, so I’m gonna do it, and I’m gonna tweet about it while I do it. You’re welcome. #AVPExpanded

Why #AVPExpanded? Because I won’t just be watching the Alien and Predator movies, we’re throwing in Blade Runner!

I want to see what this tenuously connected universe would actually look like all together.

Here we go!

Time for some good old fashioned PREDATOR!

Even the beginning feels like ALIEN. With the starscape and long strings and single word title.

I watched this when I was too young for this, I think.

Alan Silvestri for music! No way.

Also Weathers and Schwarzenegger have like, mirror introductions. I’m so cool. Hanging out in the shadows.

Military propaganda... we’re so cool. I’ve got a cigar.

Dutch is good at why he does. And pretty good exposition

Dillon! YOU SON OF A BITCH

I like that Dutch has a line he doesn’t cross. Not assassins. Sets up the mirror with Dillon real well, who’s clearly been compromised by his time in the CIA behind a desk

Eww. Chewing tobacco. But what a great line coming up.

Expectation subversion! The specs wearing nerd is a badass
