One of the better call backs. ;)

He (Goldblum) saw the chance to put the line in and asked for it. The director just about tripped over himself to say YES!

@@Caseytify I don't know how he got away with it. Oh yeah, he's Jeff Goldblum....Now that's chaos.

So, nods to Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Some Like It Hot ("Nobody's perfect") and The Right Stuff (walking out of a crash in the desert)...Any others?

He was actually talking to the director about that part in Jurassic Park and they thought it would fit in well there too so they put the voice over in lol

Truly amazing

Would love to see those outtakes, though I'm glad he wasn't rejected in the final cut. But I don't think they would reject him in that situation, the limited number of pilots and newbies who probably never even flew before and Russell with substantial military flying experience from Vietnam and his very heavy log of flight hours in general. The director and producer obviously connected the dots on this and therefore properly included him.🙂

Ummm,...how exactly does a 1930's open cockpit biplane fly in the upper atmosphere? Snoopy power?? That's way beyond idiotic.

Looked for your only fans.. didn't see it only Instagram and Patreon 🤔. I'm really only on fb. But if you talk on only fans dm lemme know what it is and I'll try and message you there. Worst case scenario you can always ask in some way for my actual phone #. Like your vids. They are good

Cinema wise, it was the greatest speech other than William Wallace’s speech in BRAVEHEART.

I’d vote for him

As a British person we don’t get riled by speeches like Americans always do this intrigues me as to why Also the speech didn’t even get me emotional he’s just an actor reading a script

Spaceman 1251. Yep. Great speech. There are two recent ones that I think are a little better, or just up there on par. Captain’s speech in “Endgame”, and the kid at the end of “The Great Debaters”!

Condolences.

"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die."

“Now that’s what I call a close encounter” 😉

Stargate!!! :)

Also The Day After Tomorrow is an entertaining movie

@@christianjulio3537 that is a good movie.

I only wish the Stargate TV show would've stuck to the movie's feel and vibe.

@@emre05x Too epic for their budget. Even if they were slotted for 100 episodes right out of the gate, they were still on a budget.

This wasn't CGI, they used models, puppets and pyrotechnics with compositing. Convincing Computer Generated Imagery was still expensive in the 90s. When someone asked the visual effects team "What software did you use to get the lighting on the plane?" they answered "A flashlight". The shadow on the obelisk was made by backing up a truck onto a model of it. The only CGI is what you actually see on the computer screens themselves. I wish people stop using CGI instead of VFX. That word does not mean what you think it means … The concept of computer viruses was known back then, but the writers ignored that you have to write them specifically for the OS, so Jeff Goldblum doing it in less than a day on a complete alien system is quite a stretch … but being IT myself I'd say he probably just installed Windows 95 on their mainframe …

virii were quite common back then; in fact they were common 10 years before that in the PC world.

@@Caseytify yeah, but the majority of of their specialist are already dead, the US military had less then 15% of their forces remaining well before they even get to area 51, that means bases, personnel, etc. They basically have only the more remote posts left this point.

@@Cau_No I knew they used load of practical effects and almost only ones were ones on alien crafts / shields and shooting main lasers. On viruses yea concepts were known but thinking on infecting some unknown OS would be more then a stretch. And Will Smith knowing to fly alien ship instantly (especially with screen on spaceship being couple of lines) BUT that is why we call it fantasy movie.... And people know on OS then very little, especially when I as a kid said friend that we had argument a bit.... to type in in DOS "Format C:" welllll after it we get in argument even more....

@@Cau_No - I love a lot of your points, and the little "Princess Bride" reference you slipped in, that was genius man. Personally, I wish that they would tone down a lot of CGI and bring back more Practical Effects, so many people today are constantly getting surprised with "How Good" the older style Special Effects look, and it kind of baffles me, because it's like ... they are using real actual physical objects for their special effects stuff... so of course it looks real ...... because it IS real, not a fake imaginary thing generated on a computer, so it will ALWAYS look very convincing. Don't get me wrong, with modern technological advances in computer tech, a lot of CGI is very good now and can look amazing, but I feel like in many instances, they should TRY to make real physical effects first, and resort only to CGI when it's really necessary to get something done, like space lazers, or death rays etc because CGI can make those really convincing and easily done. But spaceships and monsters ,,, just build models, use latex, makeup and costumes. Peace man, I think that word really doesn't mean what they think it means. ;)

It's not even close to 'War Of The Worlds'. Both stories involve an alien invasion but that is literally where the similarities end.

@@amazingusername8925 yeah I agree. The “virus” in this movie didn’t kill the aliens here. All it did was drop their shields. Weapons delivered the final blow to the alien ships.

Fan of WotW (novel) here and this is the very first time I've seen someone come up with that idea.

@@joe_schmow Is that a good or bad thing I've always thought it was kind of obvious?

@@paulobrien9572 I just think it's a hell of a reach.

- OMG .... I used to catch a few "Night Court" re-runs now and then, I may now have to go back and check, because I never remembered Brent Spiner as being on that show. I remember the guy who played the Judge, the African American lady who was a Bailiff, and the tall bald guy who played 'Bull' another Bailiff... that's about all I remember :/

@@Arthaius "Dan" Fielding and Christine Sullivan, the lawyer characters speed running the cases. Brent being the Appalachian character with crazy weird luck that kept showing up with the oddest tales to what broke the law this time. Just about every episode there be something weird but Brent always going for something silly or something you wouldn't expect when he does show up.

@@jayeisenhardt1337 OMG yeah I remember Dan Fielding - there was one episode where he was like doing an infomercial so over and over in the middle of a court case he would turn to the camera and say "Dan Fielding - Attorney at Law" or something like that, one of the funniest moments in that show for me.

Yeah, they changed it so you could see his face when he decides to make the heroic sacrifice. Also, unexpected Daft Punk!

A uniquely English holiday. ;)

There's some *hilarious* YT vids showing teens-&-early-20s folks trying to use an old-style rotary phone ... I watched 4 or 5 of them in a row when I first found 'em. I had to take a break 'cause I was laughing so much that I was gasping for air, and could feel my face getting red! Even after I stopped, I continued chuckling off-&-on for 30 or 40 minutes! If you're in need of a good laugh, check 'em out!

@@ephennell4ever I saw one of those, and laughed too. But then at my age, I can't figure out how to use my smart phone and have to ask my son how to do something.

- You know I have a secret that in actuality I share with many people all the time, it's wonderful, and it still shocks me how it feels like I'm the only one to make this conclusion. I have a cell, and a landline - however I never tell anyone really my cell number or even that I have one (It's for a very select few people who are "on the list" of my VIP), and I only ever share my landline number. It gives me the single most advantageous ability. If I don't want to talk to someone, especially like if your Boss calls on your day off, I can just ignore the call, and if someone later was like "Hey, I tried to call, but you didn't answer" I can just say "Oh, I was out, didn't get your call until later when i got back home" and NO ONE can argue it, because that's how landlines work, it's fantastic, and I'll never do any different, if you only have mobile phones, and you don't want to answer, people will get all mad and say "Oh, thanks for ignoring my call jerk" - my method lets me do what I want, but only when i want, and can't be made guilty for not answering calls. Also, why do people say "Such Big Phones" ??? they're literally just normal phone sized, always have been from like the invention of phones until now : ear thing is at the ear, mouthpiece is by the mouth, the handset fits on the base properly.... there is no "Big" involved, it's just phone sized stuff. the only reason people think of them (incorrectly) as "Big" is because electronics have always always been pushing for miniaturization, make things smaller, as a sales angle, a way to convince buyers "Look, it's so compact, so convenient, weighs less, so much better. Buy yours today" They really should push for "So Fragile, so flimsy, so easy to lose, so hard to find. Don't get one, buy a real phone today." At least that would be honest advertising. And then, they charge MORE for a product that uses less materials to make. And they can't really use that B.S. line about how "Harder" it is to make smaller things, labor costs go up, etc etc B.S. There isn't anything "Hard" about an automated assembly machine making 50K new phones a day, there is just the one guy watching the terminal making sure the machine actually doing the work keeps functioning. It literally would take the same amount of time to make a regular sized cell as it takes to make the new "Slimfit" ones, the parts would be smaller, but the assembly time would be pretty much identical. If they still did stuff like this by hand, they might have a point, but yeah, that excuse don't fly, they just use it as an excuse to artificially inflate prices to enable them to buy another new sports car to impress their paid G/F with front end implants.

4:55 Space is big, and back in the 90s, only a few nations had Aeronautic capability, or the capacity to actually observe near Earth activity. You wouldn't just see that thing.... Especially if the aliens were purposely approaching without radio activity until they were near the Earth. Also when you see the large mothership later on... No light. It's dark. Meaning its probably not very reflective, which means it wouldn't be easily detected by anyone on Earth. There's a quote from a disaster movie that came out just a couple years after this where a NASA scientist says to the president in that movie "With all due respect sir its a big ass sky, and we only have budget to observe about 10% of it at a time."

23:21 The government had no idea. By the time anyone had come up with anything, knowing what to look for as David did, it was already a half hour before the first strike. There was just no time.

And it only took a Yank Country singer to yodel away the Alien Menace!

Mars Attacks… OMG! That was one of the worst movies ever

@@nsasupporter7557 We need to agree to disagree.

Moneyis always a factor for Girlfriends

@@justindenney-hall5875 That did sound like it didn't it. I was meaning she had many different reactions while watching this movie, happy, sad, and excited. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the reply.

Marley & Me disagrees

Do you remember what she said back?

@@Ruzz-wd7it Just a non-verbal pleasant and seemingly affirmative acknowledgement.

No, "The Time Machine" (1960) with Rod Taylor is The Good One!;)
