I have a secret. It's pretty scandalous, and I hope it won't make you think less of me.
There's this movie, see. Sure, I hated it so freaking much that I could hardly speak when I saw it in the theatre, and was so outraged at the overblown ridiculous story that it made me feel ill and I was nauseated that I'd paid actual money to see it in a theatre. Still, I can't help but watch it every single time it comes on TV.
I'm watching it right now.
And I love it.
Love. It.
It's Armageddon, and I won't be ashamed.
I love everything about it.
I love Bruce Willis as the tough go-to guy. I love Billy Bob Thorton as the tough but caring NASA guy. I love Liv Tyler as the spunky daughter/love interest who's sending her dad and her boyfriend to save the world. Hell, I even love Ben Freakin' Affleck as the jackass who's in love with Liv Tyler and repeatedly gets himself in trouble because he's a bit of an ass.
And I LOVE the team of drillers. Steve Buscemi, Owen Wilson, Will Patton, Michael Clarke Duncan. They're a delight.
I love the preparation for going into space. Hilarious!
Sure, it all falls apart when they get into space. But I'm cool with that.
I still love it.
And, I won't be ashamed.

Hi Alice,
Yes, I like that movie too!
And if you like that you might like the Core, and Space Cowboys too. They are a little a like in that vastly different people who sometimes can't get along, are gathered together to take on a impossible project to save the world. And not everybody makes it.
Shh, this is my secret pleasure. I always get a rush when I see these movies, and maybe that's your adiction too?
Later Janice~
I refuse to believe anything with Bruce in it can be unwatchable. Horrifically bad, yes, but never unwatchable.
