Armageddon alert

Let's not get carried away, Ross.

Baldwin's been in some real shit. The only movie I ever walked out of was "The Marrying Man," which is also the movie that began his romance with Kim Basinger. Lord did that movie redefine the suck. I left b/c all my friends were kicked out of the theatre, but I wasn't unhappy to do so.

 

One of my guilty pleasures is really bad films. Last film I left was The Avengers, the minute I saw Sean Connery in the big teddy bear suit I was gone.

 

I thought this was a thread about Oregon State being a game away from the Rose Bowl.
But yes, Armageddon was on TNT last week, one of those movies you can't look away from because it is so cheesy. Sadly, I learned J.J. Abrams was a co-screenwriter on the movie.
Supposedly, NASA has a management training program where one of the requirements is to list at least 60 things scientifically wrong about the movie. I notice at least one more stupid thing about it every time I watch it.

 

How about the fact that everyone shows up at the exact same time, despite coming from all over the nation?

Wait, you said scientific ...

 

I was going to include the day lost because of the international dateline, Affleck's character setting up his own oil drilling business within a day and the fact that there is no noise in space.

 

I hate how it's supposed to be daytime all around the world when they announce the crew failed.

 

So I've got a question. If the actual Armageddon event does begin and someone here posts a thread about it, is it a D_B because this one was made first?

 

I once had a girlfriend who tried to make Armageddon "our" movie because I suffered through it with her in the theater. I'm not exaggerating when I say that decision by her was the beginning of the end of that relationship.

 

One of the most fatheaded movies of all time. Ben Affleck pledgin' his love to Bruce Willis is one of the greatest Hell-no-we-ain't-gay pieces of sublimation in movie history.
And Tyler not only sings a creepy love song to his daughter. He sings a really godawfully lousy creepy love song to his daughter.

 

Worst. Movie. Ever.

 

1.) "Harry! I looooooove yooouuuuuu!" Makes me laugh every time.
2.) Tyler already trudged creepiness territory by putting his daughter in what amounts to a Aerosmith soft-porn music videos by that point. Sure, it was hot. But, creepy when you took in the big picture.
3.) I woke up in the middle of the night (well, 3am this morning) and the TV was on the local independent. "Armageddon" was on. I stayed up and watched the last 45 minutes. Oh, the shame.

 

I fell asleep when they were getting ready to take off and woke up when the commander cheesily asked to shake Liv Tyler's hand. I don't think I missed too much.

As for the scientific inaccuracy, I haven't seen it, but I heard The Core takes the cake.
