INDEPENDENCE DAY MARATHON
AMC, 1:00 p.m. ET
Be more specific, Bianculli. An Independence Day Marathon of what, exactly? Ease up. In this case, I am being specific. For 12 straight hours, starting at 1 p.m. ET, AMC is presenting back-to-back-to-back-etc. showings of 1996’s Independence Day movie. And here’s something scary to consider: Next year, this Will Smith-Bill Pullman-Jeff Goldblum sci-fi blockbuster will be 25 years old. And something else to consider: In one of its scenes, one of the alien destroyer ships takes aim at New York City, where its targets include the World Trade Center – a few years before the Twin Towers were targeted, and destroyed, by alien terrorists of a terrestrial type.
