In all those assorted Alien sequels and AvP movies, what does Weyland-Yutani actually want to DO with the xenomorphs? Synthesize their blood-acid?

    weyland yutani has a Department of Xenobiology that was created so that one of the board's nieces could get an executive position. when she found out about xenomorphs she got someone to write up a glowing report about possible applications, and they trebled the size of the department. and so on

    Weyland-Yutani has one of the best fictional corporation names because it's the exact blend of literally meaningless and vaguely sinister that all real large corporations have.

    other than names like "Altria" and "TEGNA" I can think of no other examples like that

    that's kind of hilarious actually

    "where do you work Jim?"

    "oh you know, Xe."

    As far as meaningless corporate names go, I've always liked "Eastman Kodak" because Eastman was the person who started the company and "Kodak" was just a word he made up.

    it's "academi" now, which sorta offends me

    though i can't shake the idea that it refers to xenophon somehow

    "Sears, Roebuck & Co." isn't hyphenated
