I hope you wrote this!

My complaint is that in real life, Margaret Brown threatened to throw Quartermaster Hitchens overboard if he didn’t take the lifeboat back to look for survivors. In the movie, Camera had her cowed and saying “you’re scaring me.”

WTF, dude.

The premise of that show is so good, and it appears to be so bad.

Gaaah.

Do we know that they left five seconds later on the ships? Might not they have needed at least a week or so to prepare? Especially since it’s the final scene, you can easily tell yourself that some time has passed.

Every other warp continues to defy explanation.

But the ‘80s was GLORIOUSLY ugly. So was the ‘70s at its worse. Like 1998-2007 was just chintzy-looking, boring-ugly.

WHAT THE HELL. In the last one I read, a little kid dies of Leukemia or whatever. And then there was a third and I hated that and ugh.

God, fuck that movie.

See, but I want that.

Ugh, does it? I was hoping that based on the legitimately intriguing and earned premise that it was not going to be another Godawful soft reboot.

Dude, he says “earth.” And the idea that he doesn’t enunciate it correctly always feels a little bit racist.

Not to mention the camera constantly teasing you with almost Godzilla shots, and then coming back to Blandy McHeroPants. Terrible.

I really can’t deal with Bay, at least in the last couple of years. And Emmerich has gotten worse as well, and you’re right, he does think he’s Spielberg or something (so does JJ Abrams, blech). But something about “Independence Day” works better than it should. It’s a ‘50s movie for the ‘90s, it’s got great pacing,

Fuck you, that dog is alien fire-proof.

Oh man, the “Independence Day” score is really, truly good. It makes you want to fight aliens.

Why is being cynical about your shitty movies better than being painfully sincere? Ed Wood beats “Sharknado” any day.

Awww, when I heard about the premise, I was genuinely excited. An earth after an alien invasion is an amazing idea and not one that Roland Emmerich can be counted on to not fuck up. The original is goofy, nonsensical (the alien virus is a signal, just...go with it — and the fire moves sideways because alien weapon),

Hence my being upset by it.

Is there proof that that marriage wasn’t consummated, though? Tywin seemed to guess, but he’s extremely dead.

Were you also upset that Han Solo bit it in TFA?
