Hollywood Bullshit: Armageddon

Pin It

Hollywood and Science haven't always been on the best of terms, so the Alamo Drafthouse will give a special platform to astronomers and astrophysicists to open up their own can of whoop-ass on the Michael Bay-directed blockbuster Armageddon. Since the movie pretty much slaps science, reason and logic in the face, it's only fair that a team of astrophysicists in town for the American Astronomical Society Meeting will get their chance to nuke this movie as if it were a Texas-sized asteroid.
