On July 4th, 1996, Will smith and Jeff Goldbum, along with our armed forces, successfully repelled an alien invasion that could have wiped our very existence off the face of the Earth. Can't believe it's been 20 years already! Never forget.

1996-07-04 in internationally accepted coding. Also the virus was shown to be cultivated on the Roswell Incident ship in a deleted szene.

What's that smell? I could have been at a BBQ!
ProfessorDumbass
apparently that wasn't in the script and the smell was from dead creatures on the salt plain
retgarr
The Salt Lake really does smell awful.

I got pretty sad when I saw the sequel got a 30%~ on RottenTomatoes.

Can't believe how stupid the aliens were- trying to steal resources from the only planet with intelligent inhabitants who could defend them.
Lockerd
The new movie was pretty good, a great set up for new ones. Brent Spiner alone is worth admission
socksynurse
Randy Quaid!

We can't forget. They just came back. Haven't heard much about it, though, so it must be crap.
aDapperGent
I liked it. It was meh.
Snooj
I have a friend who manages a theater so we can do free after hours showings. I save those night for things like Apocalypse and this.
aDapperGent
Yeah. I can't think of anything else good right now.
kentrik
Literally just finished showing this to @mrskentrik for the first time.
TheDevilsJester
Got really surprised then, as a english man i was born 7th of april 1996.
MegaDeuce
SOMEBODY forgot Will Smith. Like, the entire sequel maybe??
BeardedAssassin
Apparently he wanted too much money and he wanted Jaden to be in it.
MegaDeuce
I heard he had to pick between ID2 or Suicide Squad, and picked the later.
JohnnieTheShrubber
Is the new movie any good? I loved the old ones, to hell with critics. I want a stoner's opinion.
DuckTalesOohWooOoh
I hated it.
SomeoneNotFromTheNSA
jeff goldblum makes a surprisingly good school bus driver
HopefulMD
If you go in knowing its shit, you'll enjoy it. Its not as good as the original one, but its a visually pleasing stupid ass movie.
PandraPierva
It's bad almost hillariously bad, but if you can ignore the new bloods its actually decent
BenTheSquid
I thoroughly enjoyed it
DuckTalesOohWooOoh
Let's say it'd make a great RiffTrax movie.
defaceu
Friendly neighborhood stoner here- movie was pretty decent. Pretty much similar feeling as watching the first one
stickywicket22
Also hated it. Every attempt at pithy humour fell flat. Just awful.
AnEvilLemon
If you have a luxury theater like the Alamo Draft House in your town, I'd go see it there. It's a good excuse to go eat dinner.
Kowabungo
It just passed up Jurassic World as my least favorite movie. Completely unapologetic lazy ass money grab. Not even the acting was good.
Rox2
It was meh. Good idea, not so good execution in my opinion.
WasThatAFartOrAShart
It wasn't awful. It wasn't the best, either. It was definitely meant for nostalgia purposes. Felt like a lot of, "Hey, remember these guys?"
JohnnieTheShrubber
I'm totally fine with that. Did they set it up for a 3rd installment in another 20 years?
WasThatAFartOrAShart
Seemed like it, yeah.
ARandomHelljumper
Yup, minor spoiler but it will likely involve us fighting the aliens on their own planets next time.
ProfessorDumbass
The rest of the world will remember 4/7/1996
CinnamonBunny
I'll remember 4.7.1996.

It is unmistakable perfection.

That is how the invading aliens wrote it...FUCK...they are back!!

Someone tell Will Smith!

I never understood why America does Month Day Year when Logically Day Month Year makes more sense.
FelisaeNoctis
It's faster in spoken word. Day of Month is mostly used for honorary days, like the 4th of July. July 4th is faster, but informal.
Spectracon
Saying month day year is more easy on the tongue imo. February 23rd 1997 versus THE 23rd OF February 1997. US way is two words shorter.
jamiewritesfic
Legit question, do other countries say "July third" or "third of July" in conversation?
freezingpilot
Depends on the language. 25 Avril, in french is faster then the other way around. As a Canadian, sort of carries over into English.
jamiewritesfic
thanks
lonelystrandedalien
German doesn't need the "of", it can be done in word endings. so "vierter Juli" is fourth [of] July".
jamiewritesfic
danke schoen
ClogsAndTulips
In Dutch we say it day month and I believe Swedes do as well
jamiewritesfic
thank you :D
