What the fuck?
I was there in case anyone wants to know. I was a kid in my living room watching mother fucking Independence day back in the good ol days. VHS and all...
Sad to say I'm getting old now, ugh, but I remember being there watching that movie and was like a lot of kids back then just totally blown off our asses by that shit. THAT was cinema on steroids, damn... Nothing has come close that movie's awesomeness imo.
None of these transformers shits, none of these big event movies have touched that fucking b-movie classic film. It just works and it's so stupid and so AMERICAN, most american movie EVER.
Now they're going crazy and making a sequel which is long overdue. should have made one years ago, don't know what the fuck they were waiting for, but finally it's happening. Looks like it'll be just as retarded as the original if not moreso.
But shockingly will smith isn't returning to his seminal role in this film. That's going to make it seem lame to me. I mean it's like making a sequel to indidana jones without harrison or some shit like that. Basically leaving out the main fucking star from the movie kinda makes it seem like a budget sequel that they do all the time where they bring back someone who was in the movie on the side somewhere and try to play it off as a legit sequel. Like, I mean there's so many examples, it's ridiculous. I'm trying to remember those movies you see where they go ahead and make the sequel without the main star and bring in a person who was in the classic original to try to syphon off some of the brilliance of the original film. Bloodsport 2 did this. Basically van damme didn't bother coming back to it, so they brought back that biker guy from the first movie to sort of make it seem in the same universe, it was dumb. Son of the Mask did this shit. Dungeons and dragons 2. It happens all the time. When they want to make a sequel but can't get the main actor back, they bring back side characters instead.
But shit will smith isn't coming back so this movie's going to feel really deflated and shitty.
I mean I sort of view Independence day to being linked to MIB. Because of Independence day, Will smith was contacted to become a part of the MIB or something. But how the fuck they going to make sense of will smith not being anywhere in the universe of the second alien attack on earth. Did he die? You think will is just going to sit by and watch the aliens attack again, not get in contact with the military and decide to jump in a jet and fight back? Serious?
How are they going to explain that?
Or is it that this movie is about going to the home world of the aliens and doing some shit on their planet?
Then it would make sense?
I don't know...
I loved life back when independence day came out. Life was soooooo different. Nobody had fucking smart phones, internet was slow as shit, in fact, look at the movie itself. It's sooo a fucking 90s movie it's retarded. An entire scene is dedicated to one of the worst things about the 90s, having to figure out how to make an antennae tv get a signal...
Amazingly enough we don't have to worry about that anymore...
Times have certainly changed. Nothing but full HD in your face ass holes being plunged into on a daily basis... Which I'd have a problem with, if I wasn't still a virgin... I have to abandon my previous religious views on abstinence or whatever if indeed all it fucking leads to is getting closer and closer to 30 and never getting any sweet ass.
So will smith is above independence day? Bullshit. Such bullshit. He is not. And in fact he owes his entire career to that one movie. If that movie came and bombed we wouldn't hear a damn thing about will smith as a box office draw every year around july. But because of that one film, the studios wanted to keep mining that will smith popularity. So even though the movies he made afterwareds had shit to do with ID, they kept making a will smith movie to coincide with independence day. It was a nice little tradition I have to say. Every single year after ID came out, there was a new will smith film in theaters around that time. MIB, WWW, eventurally that shitty robot movie, but hollywood knows how to keep things consistent. It was interesting to see them make a new big willie movie very july.
So I got to disagree with Will's decision to kinda turn his back on where he came from. It's to me, disrespectful to his fans. I know he doesn't want to continue pretending he's a 20 year old punk kid hanging out making big ass movies. He's goddamn almost fucking 50 so he's really starting to take his time and make smarter more meaningful films from here forward, BUT FUCK THAT SHIT. This is too awesome a movie to pass on and yeah it has been goddamn 20 years...
Sure enough, but this movie is going to have practically everybody from the original back, so to suddenly have will and his character no longer in it really just makes shit sense...
This is what Jeff Goldbum does from my perspective. He always comes in for the sequel. A smarter Jeff Goldulm would have read the script foR JP2 and thought what the FUCK IS THIS NONESESNE and thrown it in the garbage, but no. He's jeff goldblum, he'll be in it...
Oh oy interseting times. Very instersting. Going to have a will smith'less independence day now. How the FUCK is that going to work. When you watch the movie, yeah the movie fucking reallly is about jeff goldlum ahnd his story. It's the main story line truth be told. Will smith comes in later and then prettymuch completely dominates teh film from there forward, but as far as the original sfcritp was conderned it was about jeff goldbum's character and his journey and all that shit.
Maye they'll explain it or not. I don't know... All I do know is that there's so muich ridiculous potential for this film to be great. It could really re-invigorate the franchise and of course it's going to most likely do huge business. Because it will attract kids and old farts who grew up on the original film.
This iis going to be bonkers.
