So. Independence Day. 

I like this movie because:

-Will Smith.
-Will Smith's lines. All of them. (But especially "Now that's what I call a close encounter.")
-The scene with Will Smith and the alien in the desert.
-The scene where Will Smith flies the alien spacecraft backwards.
-Jeff Goldblum.
-Jeff Goldblum saying the same line he says in Jurassic Park ("Must go faster, must go faster!").
-A nerd saves the planet.
-Strippers.
-Steriotypical jews.
-Steriotypical gays.
-Crazy-alien-meeting-rooftop-raves. That get blown up.
-Recogniziable things (the White House, the Statue of Liberty) getting blown to smithereens.
-Action sequences lifted directly from Star Wars.
-Dialogue that, while not verbatim from Star Wars, is really damn close.
-The dog lives.
-Area 51 is real.
- Jayne Adam Baldwin, who plays a big beefy soldier man. With a gun. And he shoots people. And aliens. A lot.
-The last line. "Didn't I promise you fireworks?"

I think I made a post like this from last time I was home. It is a great movie. First time I saw it was with my entire science class and a high teacher. Good times...good times...

I get to watch it for my comp lit class. Which you would love. Us and Them: Aliens, Fiction, and Nonfiction. It is taught by a brilliant physics professor and is wonderful.
