the ppl i'm recognizing in #IndependenceDay1996 (which is supposedly part of the Alien/Predator 'verse)

President!Bill Pullman's wife is Madame President Roslin from #BattlestarGalactica and his kid is ANNE!! from #ArrestedDevelopment ("Her?"). his secretary is Blair Waldorf's mom from #GossipGirl

Here is my favorite characters for Will Smith. #HappyBirthdayWillSmith #WillSmith #Birthday #MeninBlack #IAmLegend #IRobots #IndependenceDay1996

Captain Steve: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL!?!?!?!?

Movies/tv w/US pres roles contrast pointedly w/Trump. Some are former military; we're stuck w/ #bonespurs. Trump lacks all of these fictional presidents' attributes: bravery, #honesty, unselfishness, honor, intelligence, non-bullying #IndependenceDay1996 #AirForceOne1997 #DeepImpact #TheWestWing

And credits! This movie is still a load of fun, and it holds up so much better than I expected. Happy Fourth of July everyone! #IndependenceDay1996

Recently widowed President acknowledges our science Hero's success while science man's ex-wife looks on. Was 1996 too early for OT3 fanfic? #IndependenceDay1996

Boomer is IN the welcome home jeep. I repeat, Boomer is IN the Jeep! #IndependenceDay1996

No, I'm not going to unpack the scene of indigenous African people celebrating the downfall of an alien ship by waving spears. That's too much for this live rewatch in a movie that has great black characters, but I will acknowledge that it feels weird. #IndependenceDay1996

This impressive explosion brought to you by the Star Wars Imperial Shipyards. One blast is all it takes! #IndependenceDay1996

Fortunately Will Smith can already fly that space ship well enough to dodge enemy fire and banter. TBF, it's a really well written one page user manual. Also, Jeff, backseat driving is not good communication! #IndependenceDay1996

a man wearing a helmet is giving the middle finger in front of a sign that says 440 Alt: Russell Casse from the movie Independence Day wearing a helmet and piloting a jet as he says, "Hello, boys, I'm back!"

Alien Abduction Dad to the rescue! Randy Quaid gets the Best. Death Scene. Ever. #IndependenceDay1996

Jewish grandpa gives the best line of the film to sketchy former CIA guy while offering comfort to civilians. #IndependenceDay1996

Noooo, not the vans! #IndependenceDay1996

More dramatic primary color displays that simulate what we just watched! #IndependenceDay1996

Super advanced spaceship, sketchy wifi still takes ages to upload. #IndependenceDay1996

Our 90s action heroes once again discuss the importance of communication! #IndependenceDay1996

We interrupt this dramatic moment to ponder the beauty of earth from space. I'm distracted because I'm pretty certain they use the same shots and music in Stargate a couple times. #IndependenceDay1996

It's really fortunate that the alien spaceship user manual fits on a couple post-it notes on the dash. #IndependenceDay1996

Now our 90s action flick has a touching moment reaffirming a non-Christian faith. Seriously, this movie sails over so many bars that people would trip over these days. #IndependenceDay1996

Now the President gives a stirring speech about humanity uniting to survive. Damn, it is a good speech. Vivica, how the hell could you have voted for the other guy? #IndependenceDay1996

We have time for a quick Will Smith and Vivica A Fox wedding! Vivica A Fox is now entitled to benefits! Sadly her future health insurance deems "alien invasion" is a pre-existing condition. #IndependenceDay1996

Our hero has rediscovered hope and resumes recycling! #IndependenceDay1996

In the midst of wide-spread destruction, with the military reduced to morse code and telegrams, the news is still broadcasting on TV. Let's hear it for the journalists who take their job seriously! #IndependenceDay1996

Hey, the rest of the world survived! And they are happy to hear from the US military! Let's hear it for Morse code! #BlastFromThePast #IndependenceDay1996

But, before he can give up, the problem is solved by the House method, ie someone says something in a totally unrelated convo and the hero is Inspired. They are so lucky those alien space ships are running unpatched Windows Vista #IndependenceDay1996

Our Hero is in the depths of despair. HE REJECTS RECYCLING! #IndependenceDay1996

The manly president who cares about saving lives and doesn't want to drop nukes shows love for his wife, grief for her passing, and support for his child. Seriously, can we get this guy on the ballot next time? #IndependenceDay1996

I'mma pretend he already ferried everyone else to safety, but that helicopter is definitely not coming back with a full tank of gas. #IndependenceDay1996
