The odd thing about movies being something that’s enjoyed by
a wide age group is that while some trends represent genuine progress forward
and new tastes nostalgia from the recently moneyed ends up an equally if not
more powerful market force. That
particular truth is why the 2010s have ended up such a breeding ground for ‘90s
nostalgia, or ‘90stalgia as I lovingly call it. X-Files is back, Jurassic Park is back, Godzilla is back, Power Rangers is on the way, and now we’ve got the first trailer
for the triumphant return of possibly the most important ‘90s blockbuster ever
made Independence Day.
