That is literally a thing that was filmed for the movie. It's in the deleted scenes.

I'm cool with that part, really. The part that kills me is Jeff Goldblum figuring out how to program a virus to shut down a loving alien armada in less than 24 hours that also displays a picture on their space monitors of a skull smoking a cigar laughing and holy gently caress who am I kidding, none of that is meant to be taken seriously and ID4 loving rules.

The irritating thing about independence day is that it's nearly 20 loving years old. I realized that when I was watching it the other day and felt super old.

Being a stupid ten year old British kid, there were two things I didn't like about this film. Firstly, not knowing what Independence Day actually was and thinking July 4th was named after the film. Like, it was such a good film Americans named a day off after it. And secondly the dickhead British general in it, who upon being informed that Americans are literally saving the world, says "about bloody time." I mean, I know yanks are kind of annoying mate but you were just sat on your arse in the desert, how were you helping?

Seems very inefficient. They can figure out FTL travel but they couldn't just make a virus that kills all humans? What was the point of abducting Randy Quaid and doing stuff to his butt if all they were going to do was use a giant laser on cities? even after they got the shields down and blew up the ships the ships were Going to crash on top of whatever city they were hovering over anyway.

I just want to know where all the F-14s, 15s and 16s in America's arsenal went. You can briefly catch glimpses of them in the background of giant pre-combat shots but once the shooting starts it's all F-18s all the time. Also, seriously, maybe try firing TWO nukes, Mr President? It's not like anyone'll miss Houston. (I still love the movie and am always amazed at how well it's aged) Non Serviam posted:The first half of independence day is great.

Telescopes in people's homes, pointed out through a window. It seems to be a way to show that they're well off, because regular people can't afford a refractor scope or something. Examples that come to mind are Frasier, American Psycho, and a recent episode of Better Call Saul.

The time period that Frasier and American Psycho came out or take place personal really good telescopes were pretty expensive. Its also goes with their characters as Frasier was a culture snob and Patrick Bateman would have purchased it since it costs money and one of his "friends" might have bought one. bobkatt013 has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Mar 20, 2015 |

You can get some pretty cheap lovely ones if you wanna appear rich to other people who also don't know anything. Of Saul, Bateman, & Frasier I'd say Frasier is the most perverted, so his was definitely pointed straight into Daphne's bedroom.

Totally stupid because I know you can't keep everything from the book when going to a movie, but two things in We Need To Talk About Kevin stand out: 1. The pet Kevin loving shoves in the garbage disposal is a shrew in the book, and I laughed out loud because no one, loving no one would have that as a pet. But fine, whatever. In the movie, it's a guinea pig. Which are about ten times the size, the pig shown is near adult, and oh yeah, unless Kevin killed it first and then shoved it down the disposal, the noise would wake the dead. Cavies aren't known for being quiet; open the fridge across the house and they squeal like mad until they get some food. 2. The kid in the wheelchair is explained only in the book, that two people Kevin tried to kill survive. The movie shows none of the kids he targets, or why, or how he sets up his act, other than the bike locks. It looks like he just randomly goes to school one day and attacks a gym full of kids. Which makes no sense with a bow and arrow. The book made it clear how he picked only a handful of kids, and a teacher, specifically, and set them up. Severe premeditation. In the movie he just seems to buy the locks and do the shooting for no real reason.

To be fair the last two World Wars for home matches for Europe, America hasn't had a home ground one yet! Travel time like! content: In The Two Towers when Wormtongue is talking to Saruman about attacking Helm's Deep he says that there is no army in the world big enough to assault it even if the Hornburg is breached. Then Saruman does that big reveal with a massive army outside and Wormtongue is very surprised. How come though? How on Earth could he have travelled from Rohan to Isengard and missed the biggest army on the planet? It's not like they could have all been down the shops getting sweets for their class trip to Helm's Deep.

Also Wormtongue does have national pride and he's going to say Helm's Deep is the best fortress in the world whether it is or not because it's his country's fortress. You can see it in his face after the Uruk-Hai march out and he believes Rohan is doomed; he still loves Rohan, he just loves it possessively in the same way he loves Eowyn and wants to possess her.

He goes through two or three examples, one of them being the pubic bone turned backward, and then he ends with "Even the word 'raptor' means 'bird of prey'" which makes NO loving sense. Human beings decided to name that species of dinosaur "raptor" how the hell would that prove that they're related to birds? They were introducing Velociraptors to the audience.
