The film of 'INDEPENDENCE DAY' is now a film I love to see yearly, but on The 4th of July only. It's a fun-ride of a film that is not to be taken seriously in the least, just to be enjoyed with a big bowl of popcorn! Oh yeah, L.A. doesn't fare to well either.
I'll be watching the new Blu-ray of 1776 tomorrow. Haven't looked at one second of it yet. Then I'll probably watch another Blu-ray I haven't looked at yet, BEACH BLANKET BINGO. The old Beach Blanket movies make me think of July 4th holidays, hot dogs and fireworks.
Your log line is in really bad taste. It made me want to turn on the news really fast. So your trick worked. Considering recent events in the USA and what New Yorkers have had to endure in particular, your log line is a stupid insensitive and thoughtless thing to do.
You don't have much sense, do you?
INDEPENDENCE DAY is a mis-titled and ranting idiocy. I really can't stand the film, and I have a low opinion of it in any case. Made by people with low IQ's who are as insensitive and thoughtless as you evidently are.
Another thing: since 9/11 I've been made uncomfortable by movies that blow up our national monuments and symbolic buildings. The suffering was not sanitized like in the movies; it was real and it continues. Celebrating the destruction of the Empire State Building is not how Independence Day is supposed to be spent.
I honestly do not believe Dave was mocking the Twin Towers. By saying it happens again, he meant he was watching it happen again in the film as it is a yearly tradition.
I enjoyed watching 1776 AND INDEPENDENCE DAY on this holiday weekend! An entertaining history lesson about the very beginning of our nation, and an entertaining fantasy retelling of "The War Of The Worlds."
Richard-W, there was nothing about Montana Dave's thread title that I found in any way offensive. The film Independence Day was released a full six years before the destruction of the Twin Towers, and even in spite of all the terrorist tragedies that have followed, I think it is a film full of inspiration for all Americans.
