Saw "Independence Day" in the theater as a twenty-something. At the height of the first round of city-annihilation, the ten-year-old boy in front of me cried "Rock on!" Maybe seeing the movie in Texas had something to do with it.
In 1780 they would have celebrated the 5th Independence Day, not 4th, you hack frauds! 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779, 1780. (I'm So sorry)
On 1776, it was the actual independence day, so in 1780 it was the 4th celebration or anniversary of the independence day. At least thats how i understand it.
I love the masterpiece theater setting. You really should have a (fake) roaring fire in the background.
Okay. It was bugging me so I looked it up in TV Tropes. They call the virus moment a "Eureka Moment: David's idea to create a computer virus, coming from a simple reminder by his father to take care of himself lest he catch cold." <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EurekaMoment" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EurekaMoment</a>
we always called this film IQ4
Is there an extended audio version headed for your soundcloud?
Fuck me, I had forgotten about that dumb death-defying dog explosion nonsense. I'm gonna have to work overtime on huffing this paint to kill those brain cells.
I wasted my comment on YouTube under the mountain of hack comments :p - "Yeah, with Independence Day you really have to account for the cultural implications the film had for certain Americans. It somehow managed to strike what was an extremely patriotic chord that gets twisted whenever I try to dissect this film and tell them it's not all that great a movie. It's not nearly as big here in Canada so we are seeing almost no marketing at all for the new one. Doesn't hit us in that "USA saved the world" heart place ;)
