Re: Independence Day
Yeah it was good fun. Thanks for letting us participate in our small way.
As a Brit, the American jingoism is a little tiring, but it's a damn good blockbuster and I love it just because of the epic climax. How often have we seen so many fighter jets?

Re: Independence Day
The mention of the Turtledove books on aliens and WW II reminded me of a rather strange anime, 1993's 7 part series from Pioneer 'Alien Defender Geo-Armor: Kishin Corps' (or Kishin Corps to its friends). A section of the Japanese army in China is fighting these aliens during WW II using mechs, and end up fighting the evil Nazis who are trying to ally with the aliens. Oh, there's evil Japanese officers trying to gain alien tech, but the balancing act of Japanese good, Axis bad is hilarious.

Re: Independence Day
I was misinformed. All the ladies in Paris were fully dressed.
Hey, did you know they have this giant frickin' antenna in the middle of the city? Also, they have an arch that doesn't, you know, arch over anything. Crazy town, man. On the plus side: pretty nice subway system.

Re: Independence Day
They'd better be careful. The twin of that antenna in Tokyo keeps getting attacked by monsters and aliens.

Re: Independence Day
A funny thing with this movie; It seems (in my experience) only Americans can actually "enjoy" that speech (i.e. really think it is "good"), the rest of the planet just cringe.
Not only the blatant Jingoism and the near-parodic swelling music - but Pullman simple don't posess the gravitas* to pull this off.
(* = I think it was agreed that Morgan Freeman has all of it)

Re: Independence Day
Wait... there are people who think that's ACTUALLY a good speech? I love the hell out of it for being so beyond absurd and cheesy.

Re: Independence Day
I just listened to this one again and I was reminded how much I loved it. I posted on Zarban's site on how much I liked it but I wanted to let you guys know directly. You're love for the movie changed my thoughts on it entirely. Honestly, I was a bit dismissive of the movie--focusing too much on the cheese. But I kinda dig it now.
