In a fit of insane literalness, Master Pancake celebrates Independence Day by mocking the 1996 movie INDEPENDENCE DAY!! For two weeks only, we'll be skewering the IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD of sci-fi disaster flicks, helmed by Roland Emmerich (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW), a director who’s never met a Statue-of-Liberty-in-peril scene he didn't like. Featuring a massive cast of pretty good A-listers (Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell) and awesome B-listers (Judd Hirsch, Harry Connick Jr., and Brent Spiner) in the fight of their lives against a horde of invading aliens. Critic Marc Savlov of the Austin Chronicle called ID4: "A gasping, bloated roller-coaster ride that veers from scenes of truly awesome destruction to stretches of numbingly bad melodrama and back again." A review which translates to an Asian man's head shouting "ONE FLAG!" We tend to agree more with Dragan Antulov of rec.arts.movies.reviews.com who calls the film, "One of the prime guilty pleasures of our time." Whatever it is, we'll be mocking the hell out of it on July 3rd, 4th, and 5th. (John)
