I unironically love Armageddon and The Core. Yes, they're both stupid and unrealistic movies, but that works in their favor about as often as against. Something about the way they play with the core concepts makes me love them.

I'm just here for Core support.

The most unbelievable thing about these movies is the competent government that makes the plot happen. In real life the astroid would kill the planet before they admit it exists. That's actually why these are comfort movies for my spouse and I, it's nice to believe in a world where people aren't stupid.

Don't Look Up is the real Armageddon lmao

+1 for The Core, seeing Rat’s antics in that movie sparked my passion for computers that blossomed into a tech career

I remember the audio commentary on The Core, where the director acted like the movie was very serious. I loved that.

Heh. Core concepts. That one hits deep.
