aliens my ass i want the private

I have a horrible confession to make.

I watched Aliens last night. You know the kinda shoddy 1986 movie?

Well, I admit I usually give up on these movies within the first half an hour, but last night I decided to sit right through it, and it was only for one character.

Private Vasquez. Fucking oath.

Now I know it’s just a character, but can I have one? Please?

Now if you’ve never seen the movie I’m not going to describe the plot, so let’s all just pretend we’ve seen the movie shall we?

Private Vasquez is the quick-tongued, gun-ho Marine who gets part of one of the best quotes:

Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Vasquez: No… Have you?

So, I’ve developed a little infatuation, but I think I’m entitled to. And I don’t know many who would argue otherwise.

And that is my confession. I sat through two hours of some bad special effects and sometimes horrid acting just for one character. Oh well, I still can’t think of anything better I could have been doing.
