Jack's Flow posted:They could make a Bourne movie with a 73 year old Matt Damon, and I would still watch it. Those movies bring me joy. The Renner one was OK, but I don't really need to see him in that role again. I think the whole Renner Bourne thing irked me because I'd heard something about how the studio didn't want to bring Greengrass back to direct a fourth Bourne, and Damon said he didn't want to do another movie without Greengrass. IIRC they had another director lined up for Legacy, then somehow got Greengrass back in the fold and had Renner signed, but nobody said anything to Damon about the change and he was pretty annoyed about it. Nothing against Renner, not his fault if that's how things went down, but Legacy felt like more of a cash-grab banking off the movie's name and popularity, and it didn't work so well for the studio. Definitely hyped to see Damon whoop some rear end again though

Both Greengrass and Damon were pretty much done after Ultimatum, which is why Tony Gilroy (who wrote the first three movies) was tapped to direct Legacy.

It's right before the scene that introduces the SEALS, the stealth choppers, and Jessica Chastain's line of dialogue where she makes fun of the SEALS with all their velcro and gear bullshit.

Was kind of hard to miss, but I guess if you didn't like the movie (I enjoyed it) or just saw it once (I've seen maybe like 3 times?) you probably wouldn't remember it.

I am indeed now wondering how I missed that, even if I usually don't bother with typically-redundant location text. And, no, I did like the movie.

There's a good quote in Hersh's new book that applies to 0DT that's something like "No Easy Day? You think a SEAL telling the story about how they got bin Laden over a beer is gonna say it was an easy day?" The actual details are so mundane (and in some cases disgraceful) that the Area 51 thing comes off like pure Hollywood.

It's a *fun* movie. I'm perfectly fine with lovely action movies that insult my intelligence as long as they're fun. This looks like it will fit the bill.

I still have the joy and wonder alive in me to enjoy that speech but I sure don't want to see him try to give a second one At least it looks like he's gonna get Brent Spinered (not that that did much to Brent Spiner though) Also the best thing about ID4 has always been Mars Attacks. I guess that came before ID4 though? Is drunken vagrant former pilot hero an alien invasion archetype or something? Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Apr 23, 2016 |

Independence day is a good movie. The actors were perfect, the action was great, it had both humor, charm and drama and the effects at the time were incredible. What else do you need for a blockbuster to be considered a good movie?

It's on the same shelf in my mind palace with '98 Godzilla, Wild Wild West, Armageddon, Batman & Robin, Mortal Kombat and maybe Twister.

Independence Day is one of my favorite movies ever, no qualifiers. ID:R, though... I'm not really interested in watching a rehash but now loaded with nostalgia references and CGI replacing all the awesome effects work (sup, Jurassic World). On the other hand, all the "Earth adapted the scavenged tech and now has spacebases and starfighters" is a really cool expansion and has my interest piqued. Gonna go see it, just hoping it leans more to expansion than rehash. Also the speech is awesome and anybody who disagrees is a filthy alien sympathizer.
