Armageddon

I now finally have a Criterion Collection copy of Armageddon, although it is only a DVD burnt copy and not an official copy. A real copy sells for about $78(Cdn) brand new which I would have been happy to pay if I ever found it to buy at a store. I've searched for 4 years. My oldest brother bought a new copy back in 99 for about this price. Then my second oldest found a copy (by dumb luck) at a used shop for $10. Which really pissed me off b/c I ended going to the same place only an hour later. I did sort of get sweet revenge on him about a month later when I found The Criterion version of the Rock for $10, which he really wanted as well ( brand new it would have been $80(Cdn)). My youngest brother has a friend who can perfectly burn identical discs so we got a few copies of Rock and Armageddon burnt.

So I finally watched the film again and I really enjoyed it even though I've already seen it a bunch of times. Suprisingly, the ending actually made me choke up a little bit. I don't even think this happened when I saw the film when it came out. It got me thinking how just one event was able to bring an entire planet together. I couldn't help but think of the line from Mars Attack "Why can't we all just get along?"

And its been awhile since I've heard the Aerosmith song I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, damn this is such a great sappy movie love song.
