Updates! I'm in New York after being in gorgeous Chicago wedding. OH and I got super sick along the way (FUN!) so I'm sorry for ghosting the Patreon. And once i have a voice I think it'd be super fun to watch Ready Player One from my parent's house.

MCU will resume in July!

 I'll also make a separate post to talk about our next live!

They had a reason. To exterminate us and take our resources.

I saw this in theaters 3x. Loved it so much bought the VHS. I think I felt a certain way in seeing the White House getting blown up. I had a couple jumps watch this, the first being when they cut into the exoskeleton in the lab. The second was when Dr Okun was thrown at the glass. Dr Okun was played by Brent Spiner Data on ST:NG. Shan: This president is boring, Later: Am I Crazy? ME: It's Bill Fricken Lonestar Pullmen. And yes you are crazy.

i was an 11 year old boy when i saw this in theatres i and was all like "okay, they are here, how do we kick their ass!!!" i saw this multiple times in theatres and it was an exhilarating experience every time!!! seeing that Will Smiths' character wanted to be an astronaut after just seeing Apollo 13 had me hooked on him the whole time. i wanted to be his character!!! such a shame you don't know who Brent Spiner is!!! this actor used his fame in another franchise to gain himself a roll in this film. he basically said, "if you want me to continue playing a famous character in this franchise then you have to give me a role in Independence Day!!!" so that's what happened. he continued his role in Star Trek films because he got what he wanted in this movie!!! having matured over these past 25 or so years i agree that Bill Pulman's performance as the President falls a little flat in the first half of this movie. you gotta admit though, he sells it in the second half right??? i am so glad you enjoyed this and i agree that we miss blockbusters like this in the modern era of film. this film literally defined 1996. so happy you reacted to this. ive been waiting for this reaction ever since i discovered your channel years ago. anxiously awaiting the next one. i will gladly donate exactly one "FUCK YEAH!!!" for your channel reaching 70k subscribers on Youtube!!! congratulations, you deserve 100k subscribers and beyond!!! cant wait for the next one!!!

I did see this in the theater when it first came out. It was a really big deal. Packed house. Lots of oohs and aahs and shits, damns and fcks at the incinerations and the obliterations and the rolling fires and the daunting size of the space ships. And big laughs at the funny stuff - mostly Will Smith lines. More like a celebratory atmosphere though. The audience applauded after the President's Independence Day speech along with the folks on screen. And there was full applause in appreciation of the movie when it ended. I was surprised that the President's wife died and that Harvey Fierstein's character died. And it was a huge surprise and a real bummer that Harry Connick Jr.'s character died. Still not digging that.

Great watch, Shanelle. Appreciate your emotional reaction.

I cheated. I HAD to look up the musical costar's name. I've gotten impatient in my old age (and my failing memory). ☮

This was the biggest movie of that summer. I remember it being all the rage and a must watch. Packed house, my 17 year old brain couldn’t handle it. And yes totally worth a movie ticket at the time. I was not worry about us winning I just couldn’t see a pathway until it was revealed to us. Also you talked about the president coming off weak. That was the point, they had a lot of context at the beginning of the movie I think you miss about the president being weak. Your comment about the news paper made me really miss that solid old media. I used to be a paper boy, so they have a special place for me.

No more MCU until July. Sad. In the mean time I guess I'll pull out my ID laserdisc to watch along with this one. Also, feel better!

Yeah I see it they were laying it on thick that he was young too. Maybe I just didn't like the performance in general ? haha My parents used to get the paper every morning, it's totally nostalgic

Yesssss 70k!!! Woo! and this was totally a lot of fun. I can't completely place why movies in the 80s/90s just feel more fun? Less serious? Idk I could write a dissertation!

omg I live for when the audience actually applauds in real-time. It's so fun and feels like live theater. That's why I always try to see stuff in a packed house

"It's not over until the fat lady sings." It's a saying that references operas, and the final song typically sung by a somewhat overweight lady. It's a very old saying. It's not from this film.

Stoic

Yeah I think you're a little crazy for disliking Bill Pullman as the President. You can hear in the news that plays on the TV at the beginning how people thought they were electing a warrior, but instead they got a weakling. So him being "boring" in the beginning is all by design. He fell into this rhythm of doing nothing, just going through the motions, but then when he needs to step up, the "warrior" part of him awakens. Honestly, his monologue is easily top 3 for me. It's so simple, basic and to the point, but it definitely gets this feeling of, "Fuck yeahhhh" outta me.

im struggling with what was his character description vs what was just me not loving the acting. I think he played it how it should've been played for sure. All the exposition is that he's young and weak so you have a point there
