Can't speak for the second one, but the first one was a great dumb '90's summer popcorn flick. I remember all the critics at the time hated it.

It's been a little over two years since I last saw it.

In some of the Marvel movies they even put in scenes exclusively for the Chinese version. Tony Stark will talk to some Chinese scientist for help for 3 minutes and the scene is nowhere to be found in the US.

Marvel has said they no longer have to do that because people in China go nuts for their movies anyway.

I went to see that movie for some reason. It had Jeff Goldblum driving a school bus away from a gigantic alien, which was fun.

Goldblum has been getting his retirement money doing Menulog ads here in Australia. I don't think he got script approval.

I like a lot of 90s action movies but ID4 has never quite been one of them. One of my dad's favourite movies, though.

The original is a loving classic at this point and most of my friends can recite That Speech from memory.

ID2 is inane garbage that's largely just set up for a sequel that's not going to come and spends most of its running time with terrible and characters. It commits the biggest sin those movies can commit by being really loving boring.

If they're competent in the least, they'll have advanced tracking data to know exactly what you watched, when you watched it, and how often you watched it.

So no, there's no way to let them know.

This reminds me: Hardwick had the entire cast and several writers of Futurama on his The Nerdist podcast for a reunion "radio" episode.

It's delightful and features very little Chris Hardwick.

When I canceled CBS All Access last year I specifically made a point to put in the "why you're canceling" box that it was directly because they canceled Limitless.
