Independence Day

I was watching Independence Day earlier and something always bugged me about that movie.  Ya know the part where they first get to Area 51 and they show president Bill Paxton/Pullman, whichever one, I get those guys confused, the UFO they found at Roswell and the scientist is like, "All sorts of stuff has started happening with it since these guys arrived.  The last 48 hours have been really exciting" and President Pullman/Paxton yells at him, "Exciting?!?  People are dying!!!"  It’s like, dude, calm down.  He just told you he’s lived underground for like 6 years in his isolated bubble world.  How was he supposed to know that?  That’s fuckin rude.  You’re being fucking rude President Pullman/Paxton.  Jeff Goldblum should have said something.

I haven’t watched that whole movie but the president sounds like a self-absorbed asshole. Get your head out of your ass, man. Some people have lives that don’t involve living in a gigantic white house above ground and getting their panties in a twist over losing voters.

It’s true. Longer than that even, I think it means we’re awesome. Probably not but that’s what I’m going with.
