Topic: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

On Sunday, July 4th, at 11 a.m. PST, we will do our second chat room and webcam show.

http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/independence-day-poster.jpg

We will be watching Independence Day, and I am truly fucking excited, because it's one of my favorite movies.

We've put the time early-ish so American listeners can still blow shit up and eat hamburgers in the evening, and listeners farther east can...also listen, quietly thinking we're all retarded while being their typical jealous selves, completely without explosives and beer.

I'm curious if there's anything the folks who were at The Core would like to see us do differently on a technical level. Suggest away.

I'll have to catch up with it later. I'll be on a cruise ship in the Adriatic.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

Unlike mister snooty pants Chris and mister I-have-friends-and-a-life Zarban, I will be sitting on my couch. There may or may not be beer involved.

So I'll be there.

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

Anything we should do differently than last time? Was the camera placement optimal? We could probably have it at head level, but it'd be favoring the closest heads, naturally.

By the way, are any of you in LA? (That aren't already DIF guest types.)

My only complaint last time was the audio level, which Fayda fixed early on.

If you're not in LA, it's YOUR fault.

Cool, I may be able to watch this one live. And I'm not a huge fan of Independence Day........

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

ID4 is my favorite Roland Emmerich film...

Which isn't really saying much, is it?

I hope I can make it.

I'd seriously come out but plane tickets are expensive.  No other commitments that day, though, so I'll definitely be listening in (and it's gonna be at 2 here, and a 2 is a backwards 5, so I'll be drinking beers).

When.

Okay, so if Kyle and I can split one plane ticket and I can sit on his lap on the way out there…

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

Damn that would be awesome. I'll start out, pick up AdamBertocci in Manhatten, and head west. Where am I stopping?

I should warn you, I smoke, smoke, drink, and have sex while driving.

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

No matter how many times you ask me, I will not have sex with you while you're driving.

You're just going to have to pull over first.

Indianapolis, for one.  And I'm dead serious, I'd be down as fuck for a road trip to California.  I'll pay you in weed and anecdotes.

When.

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

I will be in Jan Jose with the family, but I/we will be playing along. I'll be in the chat.

By the way, they have some sort of special edition of ID4 as well, don't they? Just to clarify, it's just the plain DVD/Blu-ray we're doing, right?

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

I don't believe there's an extended cut of ID4 (correct me if I'm wrong), the special edition just has more bonus features, so you should be fine regardless of version

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

I think he's right, I remember a scene where Will Smif and Jeff Goldblum are discussing the controls, plus more time spent with Randy Quaid's ailing son.

The theatrical cut is probably the one we'll be doing.

The theatrical is the only one of Blu-Ray, afaik.  Shame, as I quite like the added scenes from the DVD.

Yeah, I live in Hollywood, which is a dick thing to say unless you're from here and know how dumpy it can be.

Re: *Independence Day Drinking Party*

I missed the last Live taping, so looking forward to this one.

Also in the LA area, Culver/Inglewood, and going to be so relaxing coming off a 2 week visit from my mom for her vacation, she flies out Saturday morning.

Should be fun.
