Armageddon (1998)

Why didn't it work?
Buscemi goes crazy AND
Jerry Bruckheimer!

It's the Big One: Armageddon. Orignally we were going to do this over two classes due to its length, but it will probably be less painful to take it all at once. This is a definitive disaster film: All-star cast, an end of the world scenario, a love story, and an Aerosmith soundtrack. Well, that last one isn't really a criterion but it helps set the tone of the film.

Ooo, and here's some interesting links:

Intuitor's Physics Review of Armageddon. Good thing we aren't in a coastal area.

Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy The first thing the film got right: Asteroids do exist.

Are we in danger? Chicken Little may have been right...


See you all Thursday!
