Isn't "bad Bruce Willis movie" redundant?

That was no meteor shower, that was the start of the grand return of Kullervo, Son of Evil!

That was my first thought, but then I remembered The Fifth Element & Twelve Monkeys

Armageddon is not a bad movie. It may be a little over-the-top, but it's well shot, engaging and fun.

I swear I just saw that plant move!

There has been a lot of meteor activity lately...
 
2004-07-13 10:35:50 PM
I agree, there's a lot of activity right now. I work outside at night. It's not the most I've ever seen, but I did see one slow-moving blue/green monster streak horizonatally accross the morning sky a few weeks ago. It left a trail of smoke in the air for 10-15 minutes. It was farking awesome.

Three Rooms, anyone?
The Sixth Sense?

Hey, not all bad.

Armageddon still ranks as the only movie I've ever walked out of the theater during. I realize it is summer cheese, but it was wayyyy over-the-top. Michael Bay's slap-you-in-the-face-with-everything directing style kills me: here's a hot girl, here's her suave boyfriend, here's a funny nerdy guy, here's a wacky foreign dude, etc. Now let's put them in an impossible situation and see how many things can possibly go wrong, and while we're at it, we'll randomly blow up millions of people while taking little regards to whether any of it could scientifically/logically happen.

--yeah, I need to work on my willing suspension of disbelief
 
2004-07-13 10:56:10 PM
The only movie I ever walked out on was Crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Seriously.
 
2004-07-13 11:05:47 PM
Armageddon wasn't a bad movie, smart people just have impossible standards. Sure, you could make a movie intelligent, witty, and not painful, but why? Scripts cost money which could be better used for special effects or training a camera man to shoot the entire thing in slow motion.
 
2004-07-13 11:54:17 PM
Armageddon is nowhere near as bad as The Day After Tomorrow. Ever notice that disaster movies suck? Yet at least every other summer we get one. Obligatory, I guess, but to what, no-one knows. Do you know anyone whose favorite genre is disaster movies? I didn't think so.
 
2004-07-14 12:16:19 AM
I do love the Finnish...well one in particular off the mainland of Turku.

*gets goosebumps* :-p.

/Armageddon was ok to watch one time

How many times this month have people seen something like this.

I'm worried.
 
2004-07-14 01:55:17 AM
Here's your 37 pieces of flare!



/pun, not tpyo
 
2004-07-14 02:34:53 AM
Cool, I live very close to where they came down...

They almost killed me! They didn't. Rock.
 
2004-07-14 03:59:47 AM
Someone alert Aussie Bloke!
 
2004-07-14 07:33:07 AM
Live very close??? HELLsinki is quite far away from Vaasa, anyways who cares what happens after Keha III

It was Lavos! He's come to take over 1999!

yay, Chrono Trigger!
 
2004-07-14 09:09:34 AM
The dude that sits beside me at work said the meteor shower was in the Gulf of Finland, not in the Baltic (near Vaasa...?)

But then again, maybe I shoud RTFA...

But still, it sounds much more exciting to say that you've evaded death!

BTW: Is there something beyond Keha III? Huh... learn something new every day :o)
