It's a shame Armageddon came out the same year, was about a similar thing and sucked ass, cause Deep Impact was a really really good movie about being human and especially the relationships between parents and children that made me genuinely cry at least thrice.

#Watched them back to back with a friend #And I have to agree with Roger Ebert's description of Armageddon as #'an assault on the eyes; the ears; the brain; common sense and the human desire to be entertained'#It sucked ass in so many different ways #Like Ebert couldn't've known to describe it this way in 1998 #But Armageddon felt like the post-9/11 version of Deep Impact in terms of having way less heart and way more jingoism #But also I cannot be more clear about this: It sucked ass #Really unwatchable shitshow #For fucks sake they had Ben Affleck trying to be sexy while discussing and using Animal Crackers #Just upsetting on many levels really #HE STUCK AN ANIMAL CRACKER DOWN LIV TYLER'S UNDERWEAR #While Aerosmith's 'I don't wanna miss a thing' played in the background #And that's before all the ways that it annoys me personally as someone who knows a lot about space and NASA and the like #Which are more technical complaints that I could forgive if anything else was good about the movie
