Deep Impact >>> Armacrapon.

Yes because Morgan Freeman was in it!
At least there was an effect unlike most of the "heroic" style endings.
With current technology if there is a really large rock coming it's over.

A little change in topics...

In The Day The Earth Stood Still (the new one) did anyone find it ironic that a helicopter carrying all the top minds was flying over the Hudson River to watch this supposedly extinction level event in front row fashion? :D

I can't believe I just used helicopter and Hudson River in the same sentence. :eek:

I LOVE the first half of this movie. However, I hate all the crying boohoo stuff on the asteroid.

I lump this movie into a set of movies from the mid-late 90s that I never get tired of watching. It's the "this-acting-is-horrid-and-the-direction-could-be-better-but-HELLYEAHGETMEABEERANDSOMEPOPCORN" category. Also including (in no particular order):

-The Rock
-Face/Off
-Con Air
-Broken Arrow
-Bad Boys
-SPEED
-Dante's Peak
-Twister


I guess I just love bad 90s action flicks.

I was offshore a few years back and after watching that film one of the roughnecks wrote a letter to NASA stating that if they ever did need to send a drill crew to space, they would be the guys for the job. :)

I don't understand the comparison. Clearly Liv Tyler is superior in hotness to whoever the first pic is of.

My granddad cried during Cool Runnings. We later found out he was gay. RIP my old queen granddad.
