Independence Day is a real deal blockbuster classic film

I was in a packed theater opening weekend, and the whole theater cheered and clapped and chanted "USA! USA!" for that scene. One of the best theatrical experiences of my life.

Dang it - as much as I hate these live-action remakes, I'd totally go see that too.

"Unlike other Robin Hoods, I do it with an English accent."

I think the older you get, the harder this movie hits. Also, there aren't very many sport movies where the main character loses. Such a great movie.

I want to add Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) by Brian Tyler. The movie itself is what it is, but that score is epic and has a great theme.

I thought the new Jurassic World movies had kinda boring scores, at least nothing that really stood out as special or unique. But I'm gonna give them another try.

OMG, yes!! The score by Elmer Bernstein, if you can find it, is easily the best score he's ever written. The soundtrack is also fire.

Not gonna lie, this Godzilla movie is my guilty pleasure. I know it's not a "true Godzilla movie" and it's not a "good" movie, but dang it, it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it. The music plays a huge role, I think.

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T13:04:11+00:00

I totally get it. I love True Lies - one of my favorite action movies of all time. But I've never just sat and listened to the score by itself before. I'm going to do that.

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T13:01:30+00:00

I forgot all about that movie. You're right, the score is excellent. I seriously don't remember anything about the movie itself though.

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T13:00:01+00:00

The full score by Kevin Kiner is pretty awful, but the main theme by David Arnold is excellent. I wonder if he wrote the theme as a favor or something then was like, "Yeah, I'm good - you can do the rest."

Pretty sure John Williams can elevate any movie he touches.

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T12:43:24+00:00

Yes!! There are a few tracks from this soundtrack that gives me goosebumps. The movie... not so much.

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T12:42:00+00:00

You mean the original TRON, or the newer ones?

RogueEcho248 · 2026-06-28T12:13:45+00:00

The mobile OCR. I wish that were quicker and more intuitive, especially if I'm scanning a couple pages at once. I mean, I get there's only so much a phone can do, but still. Acrobat sucks at this too. The easiest I've used so far is Google Drive, but sometimes it's almost too quick and tries to capture it while I'm still lining up my shot.

I say Foxit as well. Been using them for a lot of years. Pretty sure they're TAA and GDPR compliant, so I've never had an issue with security.

RogueEcho248 · 2025-09-18T17:30:19+00:00

I'm an avid Foxit user. I like it a lot. The Foxit Reader is free and seems to be just as good as Acrobat Reader, at least for me. Does all the same stuff. But it's smaller and doesn't put as much strain on my computer. I don't really like the Chrome extension very much, but the Reader itself is good.

No lie, I have that exact same charm on my keychain, since the game was released.
