While waiting for the train this morning, I browsed through a stack of old magazines in the waiting room - some are ten years old, whatever people bring in and donate.

One in particular, a 'Bulletin' from 1996, caught my eye. Only six years ago, but the cover story - illustrated with a Hollywood picture of fiery destruction raining on the White House - reminded me just how great the gulf is between the 21st century and the 20th, how much of our innocence we've lost since then. If only I could go back in time and give them some warning of the horrors that would bring the 20th century to a close.

To be specific here, the cover story was describing Independence Day as "the worst movie ever made".

Only because "Eight Legged Freaks" was still to come...

I was thinking 'Battlefield Earth' myself... is ELF *really* worse than ID4?

I couldn't say for sure - I can't bring myself to watch it. But surely it'd have to be.

I dunno... from the trailers I've seen, ELF looked like run-of-the-mill schlock. ID4 had that whole "USA rules, yay us!" bit that really set my teeth on edge.

ID4...
