Armageddon..it was on tv last night and I remembered how terrible it was...
When a movie is overtly political how can one offer any critique without using one's political views?Quote:

I'm thinking of something really strange. Whenever in my long existance I went to a cinema to see a movie I had the patience to watch it till the end even if I didn't like it. And mind you, I've been even to syrian, turkish, egyptian, indian, etc. movies ( I admit of seeing even north korean movies of the Kim Ir Sen era but only on TV :laugh:).
This year for the first time in my life I felt the urge to stand up and leave the cinema but unfortunately I was trapped in the middle of a row and I was embarassed to disturb the rest of the audience ( for the first time in years the theatre was full and I could hardly find a seat ).
The movie wasn't bad - even had loads of Oscar nominees- but I found it dead boring as I couldn't relate to the plot. I had 2 options: to fall asleep or to concentrate only on the lead actor who was one of my favs when he was younger. I opted for the latter cos it was a matinee and too early for a nap....
I think it's a certain sign of getting old....
