I almost spewed my coffee over my monitor reading this :) That movie
makes me cringe more than watching a season's worth of Star Trek.
They had the opportunity of working with NASA, had expert
consultants, and they botched it up so badly. I guess flash bang is
more marketable than a 2001: A Space Odyssey mileau. If Armegeddon
could only have included some Intelligent Design or Creationism in
it's plot points then instead of reversing half the scientific
understanding of the moviegoers it could have put the nails into the
coffin.

Did I mention I hate that movie more than Star Trek? Yeah, I guess I
did.
