I'm always looking at details that are clever and, most of all, that could be used to enhance miniature terrain projects. So … in the film Independence Day (1996) … 1) What does it say on the poster behind the kid on the right, between the brass wall lamp and his head? 2) And what picture image/graphics does that poster have?
I have a guess of my own for the first question, but I'm looking for confirmation without pre-planting any suggestions on your mind. Thanks Dan |

Perhaps this is a little better defined. Dan

That sign gets him into some hot water in the porn sequel, in which the aliens, having switched to a Windows operating system, are finally able to conquer the Earth. They immediately impose a mandatory intermarriage rule to create a race of human-alien hybrids and thus possibly save their own species from extinction. The scene where the alien bureaucrat is introducing the kid, now old enough for marriage, to his mandatory alien fiancee is priceless: "You don't have to 'date' this person of a superior species, earthling. You just have to marry her and have her children. Here is your marriage summons. Report on the appointed day or face the consequences. Have a nice day." |

Oberlindes Wow, that sounds like an extremely intricate plot for any porn film to have. :) Dan |

One source on line says that a bumper sticker was stuck to the Poster. The bumper sticker says, I don't date outside my species. The poster it is on….??? |

Oh, it's a bumper sticker then! Interesting. Thanks Dan |

I immediately read it as "I don't date outside my species." I think the images under it are assorted cutouts from magazines, mostly of women, possibly models or actresses or singers/performers, pasted on to other items to make a big collage. The obscured image is either the head of a young girl or another image of one of these models (they might all be the same woman). I'm trying to figure out the slogan next to the bumper sticker. I found a reference to a phrase "It chews up the road, but eats with its mouth closed," but no indication as to what it refers to. Possibly a motorcycle or similar vehicle? One that either is being sold as speedy or economical (can drive for a long time on a tank), but yet somehow "sophisticated." Google has not yet been my friend, except to indicate that the phrase is associated with the film via a tag on a specific movie website ("Movie Deputy"). |
