dizman Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 So Will Smith will be the general of the space forces and Jaden will be the hot shot rookie pilot? Jaden better get punched by an alien that makes a witty remark along the lines of "welcome to glorblocks!" Quote
Murphy Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 And then the alien stuffs a space cigar in its mouth and says "now that's what I call a close encounter" Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Wait. I'm thinking about this now, and I'm lost.... who was col. Oneil? Smith's character was capt. Hiller. I kinda wish they would base a movie off of the sequel book that was written, but meh. Too long after the fact now I think, and the book's setting was nothing like the current situation in the middle east... kinda wouldn't fit in current times. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Jack O'Neill was Kurt Russell's character in Stargate and Richard Dean Anderson's character in SG-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_O%27Neil Quote
taksraven Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I hope that they bring back Dennis Quaid's character....... This could be the opening scene for the film... Quote

It was sarcasm since Stargate and ID4 both dealt with the alien mothership in the same way, different delivery method, but the same. Even the explosion looked similar I believe. Quote
reddsun1 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Ugh. This is absurd. The first movie sucked dead whores' arse; was a Macross/Robotech rip off sh*t fest. 'Ew the fu*k keeps givin' these guys money to make this sh*t? Quote
raptormesh Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Maybe this time the aliens will turn humans into zombies, to capitalize on that zombie craze we have now. You can turn them back if you stick an iphone into their buttcrack. 505th: Kirin sucks, L2Japanesebeer. Try Yebisu or Suntory premium malts, and I'm not even getting into the craft beers. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 27, 2013 Author Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) When my liquor store actually has it in stock, Yebisu is for sure in my fridge too, never tried Suntory before I'll keep an eye out for that one! Edited June 27, 2013 by 505thAirborne Quote

Oh, it's been so long since I saw ID4, I actually thought one of the characters were named that, but I knew it wasn't Smith, and O'Neill really doesn't sound Jewish... Quote
Noriko Takaya Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 They already made a sequel to ID4. It was called Battle: LA. *sarcasm* By the way, I like pussy. Quote

big F Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 There were two books written for this. The second dealt with the the events after the Roswell incident and went on to just before the invasion in the first film. It was a clever story but does not have anywhere near enough bangs an helicopter chases to make a film with. I guess we will have to put up with a V like sequel oh the main fleet hid behind the Moon, now we are here to kick your hooman butts!! Quote

Duke Togo Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 How is ID4 a Macross/Robotech rip off? I don't recall any transforming airplanes, giant aliens, or pop singers in ID4. Yeah, they share nothing in common, outside of involving aliens attacking Earth. Quote
505thAirborne Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 There's a horrid flick on the SyFy channel right now called Independence Day-Saster... not sure who I feel worse for the people responsible for Directing it or the actors. Quote

Really? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCDEMIKjGd8 I didn't link the other vid here, as it occurred to me since originally making those: my God, my editing skills suck... Quote

505thAirborne Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah, no. You're beyond stretching it with your "examples." Like Stretch Armstrong. Quote
reddsun1 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I'm not saying they ripped off transforming mecha, giant aliens or a love triangle. Please don't misunderstand. Perhaps what I should have said was: it's almost as though Mac/DYRL served as the storyboards for the visual styles & elements in a lot of scenes in sci-fi films and TV that has come along since. Is it intentional? Mebbe. Maybe the creators grew up watching Macross or Robotech, and it influenced how they wanted to present sequences their own work. There are a lot of scenes in movies and TV that make me think: I've seen this somewhere before; and that somewhere is Macross. I just happen to think Macross/Roblowtech deserve a little more credit for their influence on the sci-fi that has followed in more mainstream outlets since, that's all. Quote

reddsun1 Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Hehe, Noriko Takaya's comment just made me randomly recall that classic Bernie Mac routine, from way back on Def Comedy Jam; back before he was cool enough to help Brad Pitt and George Clooney pull off multi-million-dollar heists, before he was selling robots-in-disguise to Shia LeBeouf; when people actually thought Martin Lawrence was (slightly) funny... ed: You don't understand. I ain't scared o' you mothafu**as! RIP, Bernie... Edited June 28, 2013 by reddsun1 Quote
Uxi Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 It could be interesting, if they do it right. How many major population areas did the aliens destroy in the first movie, through their attack and crashing their ships on them? What, about 50% of the First World's population wiped out? Take it from there, about what a struggle it'll be to rebuild everything. There could definitely be some interesting storylines. But given the genre and way the first panned out, extremely unlikely to go that way. Jack O'Neill was Kurt Russell's character in Stargate and Richard Dean Anderson's character in SG-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_O%27Neil I always remember being annoyed at MacGuyver playing the same guy. I actually like Richard Dean Anderson's character, but about the only thing it has in common with Kurt Russell's was the name. Why not just make him Major Smith or something instead of being the same guy from the movie? Same with the geek scientist guy. Just make it a separate team. Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Maybe this time the aliens will turn humans into zombies, to capitalize on that zombie craze we have now. Great, a remake of "Plan 9 from Outer Space" Quote

The thing is I can buy Michael Shanks and a young James Spader being the same person. but at the same time I've always found it really hilarious how different Richard Dean Anderson played the character from Kurt Russell. Quote
sketchley Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Remember, the movie version is "Jack O'Neil". The TV version is "Jonathan J. "Jack" O'Neill". Richard Dean Anderson's "complaints" about how Kurt Russel played the character are also hilarious. Quote
Greyryder Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I seem to recall an episode were O'Neill made a comment about there being a another Col. O'Neil, who spelled his name with one L. "That guy has no sense of humor." I always liked the way O'Neill played kind of a buffoon, until it all hit the fan. Once tactical thinking was required, I swear the man would suddenly become a nigh unstoppable bad ass. Quote

In a different (later?) episode, some of the other team members do a little character deconstruction on him, and point out that he's actually much smarter than he acts, and (if memory serves) he admitted that he only acts that way to so that people don't expect as much of him.
