How long ... ?

I decided that I wanted to rewatch Independence Day and when I did a search on Google to see which streaming service it was on, I was stunned to see that it had been made in 1996. What the ... ? That's over a quarter of a century ago! That makes sense thought when I think about it because we were living in Leichhardt at the time, and that was that long ago.
I remember when it was about to come out, I entered a competition in the newspaper to win seats to the first showing, and then, not confident that we would be winners, I bought tickets to one of the first "public" shows after that. Which is how we came to be watching Independence Day on the Thursday night and then on the Saturday afternoon. It was good ... and I've seen Independence Day a few times again since then. I hadn't been thinking about watching it again but someone made a reference today to "chicken legs" - as in when Blue (their dog) lies on his back he looks like a chicken - with chicken legs - and that made me think about Jasmine's chicken legs - and then, of course, Independence Day jumped to the top of my to-watch list. Thank goodness for streaming services ... although I do have a copy of the DVD here ... somewhere ... but I'm glad I don't have to find it.  It would take longer to do that than to watch the movie on Disney+.
