So, my brother has been wanting me to watch Aliens for a while now. I didn't really want to watch the films when he was around since I didn't want him to start explaining shit, and with him being there I always ask him questions about things that are yet to happen thinking I've missed something important. He also used to tell me that the first film isn't that great but the second is much better.

Regardless, I finally found a small space of time to watch Aliens in, and it was a great film. Unfortunately he found out I was watching it half way through, and I had to stop watching and eventually finished it a day later. It's truly a great film...

...that was until I found out I actually saw the SECOND film, and not the first. Now, don't get me wrong, I believed that all the stuff that happened at the beginning (Ripley in Hyper Sleep, her talking about the Alien with the crew and all those other things) would be explained as in THOSE explanations would've been the movie (A Flashback), not just her discovering a new alien, and when I started to question if this might be a sequel I was already 2 hours in or so, no point stopping there.

I'll eventually watch the first and third film I guess, but it's still very annoying.
