Accordingly, movies from the ’80s are replete with nuclear-apocalypse themes, like The Day After and Miracle Mile. After the détente of the ’70s, President Ronald Reagan heightened fears again. It’s understandable that those ’50s B-movies exhorted us to “keep watching the skies!” In later decades, that paranoia seemed quaintly misguided at best, or at worst the very thing that would kill us all. The Rosenbergs were convicted of espionage in 1951. In 1949, President Harry Truman announced the Soviets had detonated an atomic bomb. The War of the Worlds (the 1953 one, not the Tom Cruise vehicle), The Thing from Another World, and other classics are products of their time, reflecting the paranoia of the Cold War era, when America was locked in battle with the existential threat of communism.
TRUMP ALIEN INVASION MOVIE
You can watch all of “A Closer Look” from Thursday’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in the video embedded at the top of this post.The 1996 movie Mars Attacks!, directed by the legendary Wizard of Weird, Tim Burton, is a loving parody of campy ’50s sci-fi alien-invasion B-movies, inspired by a series of trading cards released by Topps in 1962. “Also, there’s a chance he doesn’t know what ‘scuttle’ means. You get a more specific answer from Gmail’s auto-reply,” Meyers quipped as this image appeared on screen:Īlso Read: Colbert Calls Trump a 'Horny Old Racist Who Likes Cheeseburgers More Than His Children' (Video) A lot of bad things can happen,” Trump said.
Doesn’t mean - a lot of things can happen. Next up was a clip of Trump, at the same meeting as the previous clip, being asked if something might happen that would “scuttle” the summit. “But okay, let’s hear budding Nobel Laureate Donald Trump answer questions, in detail, about his upcoming summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.”Īlso Read: Kimmel Gives Us a Glimpse At Exactly How Bizarre a Trump Nobel Prize Nomination Would Be (Video) If he won a Nobel, his speech would be the first in history with an NC-17 rating,” Meyers joked. “And, again, diplomacy with North Korea is good, but this is still the same guy who wanted to ban Muslims, called Mexicans rapists, said we should kill the families of terrorists and said he wanted fewer immigrants from Africa and Haiti. Meyers then felt it was important to remind everyone that pretty much everything else Trump has said in the past couple years has been antithetical to what a Nobel Prize winner should theoretically represent.
Shoo, space bug,’ ” Meyers said as an image of Rudy Giuliani appeared on-screen. ‘I want victory for the world against the space bugs. He sounds like a movie president fighting an alien invasion. “Victory for the world? He doesn’t sound like a Nobel Laureate. The prize I want is victory for the world.”Īlso Read: Colbert Clowns Trump for Saying Kim Jong-Un Was 'Excellent' to Those Americans He Imprisoned (Video) You know what I want to do? I want to get it finished. “Late Night” played a clip of said question, with Trump’s puzzling response: “Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it. But now some people are taking it five steps further and insisting that Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, and he was asked about it yesterday at the White House,” Meyers said. And if the North and South manage to broker a peace deal with Trump’s help that would be historic. “Trump’s attempts at diplomacy with North Korea are a positive development. On Thursday’s episode of “Late Night,” Seth Meyers called Trump out for failing to even pretend to actually know what’s going on in a new edition of “A Closer Look.” But the situation with North Korea remains fluid because Donald Trump is, well, Donald Trump. The cavalcade of madness that has been this week in the Trump Administration did contain at least one positive item: the return of three Americans who had been imprisoned by North Korea.
