Did anyone else hate Ray's son?


Man, I wish he died in the movie.

He was putting the whole family in risk with his teenagie stupidness and stubbornness.
I mean, who the hell would want to run up the hill and face the *beep* alien attack with bare hands? A norman person would've had a heart attack or at least run away as far as possible from hell.

reply

Yeah but we're not all norman people.

That's exactly what I was saying. The moment, when he wanted join the army by getting in the infantry truck made me mad.

reply

I was hoping BOTH the brats would become alien food. Hideous, hideous children.

reply

Yes, Dakota's character was incredibly irritating. Her voice was hideous and her screaming made my dad *beep* on the cat.

They should have had Ray knock Robbie nearly senseless after the running-up-the-hill thing: give him a right cross to the chops, knock him 85% into dreamland, then grab him by the shirt collar, drag him away and say, "IDGAF whether you like it or not, STFU and you are coming with me."

But of course in today's movie environment you can never show a parent hitting a child, ever, for any reason.

reply

haha, yeah I agree

reply

Uh, yeah. After a while I found him to be really aggravating. His need to get himself killed was just wishful thinking on my part I guess because he didn't die.

reply

I wonder how he survived that hill battle. He hi-jacked the alien robot I guess.

I totally agree with a couple of you on here. When I had first watched this movie, all those years ago, I was hoping for some explanation how Robby disappears over the hill, then as Ray grabs his little girl turns around to try and possibly find Robby again only to see a military jeep completely on fire coming towards them. Meanwhile, most of the top of the hill is incinerated by a sheet of fire with an alien ship going thru it, basically very close to ground level. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked to see Robby alive at the end of the movie. After witnessing all that, at the top of the hill that is, he probably came to his senses and told himself, "Am I retarded? Peace out suckas!!!", and bails.


I know how to get lost in lust, not because you should but because you must.

reply

I'm watching this right now and god, I hate that kid.

reply

Gee...I can't stand movies where the kids run over their parents, back talk, cuss their parents, threaten their parents, generally are just plain disrepectful.
Of course parents are somewhat to blame... trying to be their friends instead of giving them a much needed beat down.
Yeah, I couldn't stand "Robbie" from scene One.

We need to sign a petition for making an alternative ending. hahaha

THANK YOU!! I'm so tired of these "new" P.C. parents. Trying to be friends, and negotiate deals with their children in order to get them to do something. LMAO!

It's all about ORDER. Children take orders from parents...PERIOD! That's why their family is "out of order".

reply

Ah, the Trump voters explained. Thank you.

reply

You should be extremely embarrassed saying that now, since Biden has managed to completely destroy this country in the short amount of time he's been in charge. Trump might have a bug mouth, but at least he put his citizens first!

At the time Robbie is yelling about what they should do "if they had any balls," HE has only seen what the aliens can do in the rear view mirror of the van (although that was pretty horrifying in itself).

Ray has seen what the aliens do RIGHT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, he was in the middle of a stampede of thousands of people who mostly got incinerated to ashes by the aliens, he got covered in a thick layer of incinerated human flesh ashes all over his body, so Ray knows damn well what the f$#$#ers can do.

So when Wobby Boyeee starts yelling "if we had any balls," Ray should grab him HARD by the shirt collar, yank his face up to within two inches of his own face, then let him have it with a "Full Metal Jacket" style bitch-out: "Oh so you and your BALLS are going to go give the aliens a real piece of your mind, eh? Well, I have news for you, Mr. Big BALLS, the Mother F$#$$#ing Aliens are going to take your BALLS, incinerate them into little bitty pieces of charcoal ashes, then feed your BALLS right down your throat and laugh their alien asses off as you choke on the ashes. These F%$#$$#ers do not F$#$#k around and they will charcoal broil your BALLS, and the rest of you too, in about 1/1000th of a second flat. Now you got any other brilliant ideas about what you and your BALLS are going to do about this besides go and get incinerated like a blowtorch-blasted bag of marshmallows? You and your BALLS have any bright ideas about that??"

Hahaha...jaystarstar gosh damn you're so damn right!!

reply

well that was the problem. Ray didn't tell him Anything. Anything at all.

I Was more pissed at Ray for not telling the kid anything, The kid wanted to go and kick some alien's butt, but he had no idea bout the shields.
And Ray NEVER told him once about the shields. Wtf?

So yeah, maybe he kid was kind of annoying, but Ray didn't help at all.

reply

By the middle of the movie I was hoping both kids would die. I didn't care if it was by one of those energy\laser beams or by getting pulled up into one of those tripods and being sucked into one of those vaginas and having their blood sucked out. I just wanted them to go away.

reply

Agree, when the car gets swamped by people and she's screaming out stupid questions like "why is he doing that?" when the guy's trying to bash the windows in, "can't we give him a ride?"

She was young, but not that young. At that age I'm sure we would all realise exactly what was going on and scream at Dad to plant the foot!

reply

Oh god yha. I was thinking how I would have pushed her ass out of the car at that moment.

reply

I think everyone disliked Rays som, perhaps someone should start a thread asking if anyone liked Rays son.

reply

Reading some of these comments really made me laugh. Came on here to see if anyone else found him just as annoying as me, glad I'm not the only one! lol

reply

(Insane guy starts to smash windshield)

RACHEL: Can't we give him a ride?

RAY: Yeah, we can give him a ride at about 60 mph plastered to our front bumper as we bulldoze our way through these MFkers until we get our ass across the river.

(Insane guy continues to smash windshield)

RACHEL: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(RAY pulls out gun and blasts guy off windshield)

RAY: See? Now he doesn't need a ride any more.

yeah. spot on.

Why should he care about anyone/anything?
