REPORT!

• 20:09 Oh, Independence Day. To some extent you're reactionary crap. On the other hand you cast Mary McDonnell as first lady! Cognitive dissonance! #
• 20:11 Also, the president in ID4 is a Clinton analogue and Goldblum, who "beats" the invaders, is a liberal environmentalist "elitist." Odd! #
• 20:43 And they include like every celebrity of the day- from Harry Connick Jr to Harvey Fierstein- call it "The Longest Day the Earth Stood Still" #
• 21:17 For a '2000s analogue of ID4, they couldn't win by blowing up a mothership - they'd be, like, kicking in doors to see if people were aliens. #
• 21:37 @danhorner: Encountered one such Nigerian scammer advertising apartments on Craigslist! Chilling, actually; looked realistic at first. #
• 21:38 Lord help me but Space's new Flash Gordon almost looks like it might wind up fun... but I wish I could lend 'em a few bucks for effects. #
• 21:42 Aaaaand, just for fun a Palin link: tinyurl.com/6xnxwy #
• 22:48 I seem to be livemicroblogging ID4 - anyway, Judd Hirsch's prayer is appropriately "Sh'ma Koleinu", but uses "Hashem", like a Hebrew "555" #
• 22:51 I stil have no idea what the original sources are for all the crap Randy Quaid is supposed to be quoting throughout the fighter "combat". #
• 23:01 Oh, the Jolly Roger virus. Display skull and crossbones and shoot missiles at unsuspecting host! Was pretty rough back in the '90s on my 486 #
• 23:03 And the one nuke takes out a mothership - like in the Radioactive Man origin comic where he says "*gasp* AN A-BOMB!" Logic - BEGONE! #
• 23:05 ...and the improbable scene of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum power-strutting from a crashed alien spaceship in flight suits, smoking cigars. #
• 23:10 So *this* is how I start September? Oy. Anyway - that movie sucked in all the best ways. Now it is instead time for like, Paths of Glory. #
