kjpepperI don't care how fakely bombastic and wankilishiously ridiculous Independance Day is, the fact that I got to see it again, at midnight on July 4th? AWESOME.
The movie gains unexpected hilarity post 911, especially since okay, Whitmore fucked up in the beginning but when push came to shove he gathered his balls, galvanaized a handful of scared pilots, got his ass in a plane, and flew in with the rest of them. I seriously doubt if the aliens attacked Bush would do the same thing, even if he WERE qualified to fly an F16... proving once again that the only good presidents exist in movies. *sigh* And then there's the fact that FRIKKEN EVERYONE IS IN THIS MOVIE. President Rosslin was only the first lady in this movie (making her, amusingly enough, far more successful than Hillary). Data. Jayne. JAYNE, I tell you! Even that big bearded arab guy that is currently being terrorist du jour in all the movies now was in it for ten seconds. (he was in Iron man. Yeah, that guy.) The little girl playing the president's daughter now voices Katara in Avatar. *flail* *squee* yeah. EVERYONE.
So yeah. A good time was had by all. And I now have a Hancock visor, except I peeled the first three letters off it. It is awesome now.

"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

Yay white Judeo-Xtian men - they can be counted upon for sound leadership! Sinners can redeem themselves through sacrifice! Black women are whores with hearts of gold but illegitimate children! Black men really shine when bucking the system! White women are only good at unquestioning support and nigh-silent sacrifice! Americans will think of and dare things that nobody else would, and the world blesses us for how great we are!
*vomits*
*That* is some whoa of which I do not care to see the likes of again. Here endeth the opinion.
