Independence Day 2 thoughts

just saw Jeff Goldblum on set of Independence day 2.

Fuck me is it a trip back in time. I'm 29 now, not that old or anything, but I certainly don't feel like a kid anymore. What a life I've lived. I grew up in the 90s so of course I was seeing all the space movies they made back then. Independence day was a monumental film for its innovative new fx that it created. Beyond that, I just loved watching it all the time as a kid. It was a cool goddamn movie. Now of course it's ancient stone age shit compared to the movies they're making now. Lord knows how they're going to up the ante with this new one.

I certainly don't know, and it'll be interesting as all fuck to see what the hell does indeed happen next after the first movie. I don't know. I loved the movie. You go online and you have people saying it's not that great or anything. I guess there's anti-american centement going on there. It's a unabashed american movie about american idealism at its core. That's what it's all about and something I personally really believed in, all the shit bill pullman was saying about fighting and not going out quietly in the face of adversity. Deep shit, and it's all contained in a silly blockbuster movie. That's what was great about it.

So this sequel does indeed have a lot to live up to and overcome. ID was a big ass awesome film man... no little pussy movie for kids.
