Deep Impact>>>Armageddon

Yeah, too me, it's a way better movie overall. Armageddon is splashier with more and bigger special effects....but Deep Impact has more real heart tugging scenes.

i prefer Deep Impact as well. President Morgan Freeman was awesome, the "take the baby" part made me tear up the first time I saw it, and the scene with Tea Leoni and her father on the beach together at the end, man good stuff.

don't get me wrong, Armageddon was entertaining too, but like you said, it's splashier.

Sounds like a good reason to plug my Hot Takes thread...
Hot Takes: The Thread

 

[Guts]

I watched the YMS video on The Fanatic. It definitely looks like one of those movies that takes itself serious but is so bad that it just ends up being a comedy.

I've seen the whole movie, it was an experience.

Zack Snyder posted this on his Vero account:

A 214 minute Snyder Cut! Give me!

At the risk of being off topic (sorry if I am), I’m really new to watching movies in a more dedicated way, so I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for where I should start.

One more movie to add to the that list .

Stalker (1979)

 

[Guts]

Also watch all of Neil Breen's filmography.

 

[flickchick85]

Fateful Findings ftw.

 

[Marvolo]

Se7en is another must watch.

Some asian films worth watching:

Hero
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Red Cliff (the 288 minute original international cut)

The american cut of Red Cliff is only 148 minutes and severely truncated the story and even changed names of the characters.

This is out the blue, but I'd like to see Ethan Hawke in the MCU somewhere. Just a very underrated talent, maybe as some villain or something.

 

[Iceman]

Green Lantern
Catwoman
Fant4stic

 

[Pink Ranger]

He's one of a few actors who I think can play The Sentry.

 

[Reek]

Call me weird... but I think I enjoy watching the cowboys lose as much as I enjoy watching the falcons win.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Watching the Yankees and Red Sox lose is a religious experience for me. It makes me feel more connected to an otherwise cold and remorseless universe.

 

[Reek]

well well well..... what's a nice little chicken like you doin' in a place like this?

 

[Perfect Cell]

I saw that episode when I was 11, and then had the day at school where the bookmobile parked outside. These two things should not happen in that order.

 

[Reek]

now imagine what happened on reading rainbow.
