    She was one of the few bright spots of acting in that movie.

    I agree, I hated her. But, that was the point, she made me involved in the character.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Oh yeah, I agree fully, I didn't mean I hated her acting, but the character she did a solid job of portraying.

        Ah, got it. Yep, that's about it. Reminded me of a better job from Meryl Streep in "Doubt," although who could really touch Streep?

          Due to the recent postings, I started thinking of stuff I read in grade school....thought of Shogun by James Clavell. Netflix has it! Ya, you think that ain't in my queue now? Awesome! Shogun rules.

            So I was poking around the interwebs today and saw that there is a possibility of sequels to Independence Day...I dont have the words for that...well nothing positive

            http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/167...wo-id4-sequels

            That is the article that discusses Will Smith signing to do back to back sequels to the film...
            "It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

            "Scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" that take place on the tundra planet Hoth were shot on the present-day site of Ralph Engelstad Arena."
            -INCH

            Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

              I give it a 95% chance of sucking, and 5% chance of being cool.

              If they do it right, say by setting it 15 years in the future where there's a long drawn ground war between the humans and the surviving aliens, it could work. But Hollywood rarely does sequels right.

                That is the ONLY chance it has of working and even that would take some serious work...plus in the first didnt the President (as he was Vulcan Mind Melded with the one alien) say their entire civilization went planet to planet looking for resources? I always assumed that meant they were pretty much destroyed, unless they fanned out and split up.

                Whatever, it will suck and they will reboot it so who cares

                  Possiable, didn't think the aliens really had any ground vehicles and most of their fighters were in the air when we took out the mother ship and the smaller city sized ones. Those fighters would still be nasty to deal with, but they wouldn't have a really good base to refuel or relax at either.

                    Ignoring all the plot holes and inherent implausabilities from the first one...

                    You have 15-mile diameter ships falling maybe 20,000 feet, if that, to the ground. Certainly a decent amount of the crew should have survived. And given that the American military jets needed a miracle to finish off one, it's plausible that other city ships survived the first wave. And only idiots would not have any ground based weapons on board (ok, given that a single nuke destroyed a moon-sized mothership, maybe they were that stupid - but that goes back to having to ignore the black-hole sized plot holes).

                      Even though they didnt fall far they were exploding from the inside when their weapon basically fired back in on itself. So its very possible that much if not all the crew perished in the initial explosions if not from the fires afterward.

                              So you're debating the realities of a marginal 'sci-fi-ish' movie and what it would take for a realistic sequal? This forum needs a 'rotf' smiley.

                                This thread jumped the shark long ago. This line of discussion is about all you get here anymore anyway.
