See this film: Armageddon @fter midnight at the Coolidge

As we arrive at the Mayan deadline for the end of the world, one of our last regrets is that the Coolidge chose Michael Bay's Armageddon (1998) as its @fterMidnite send off. Or maybe not; the gleeful absurdity of the premise (bunch of space jockeys try to detonate deadly asteroid), the explosive special effects, and Ben Affleck's Animal Crackers scene, make this a dumb but entertaining way to spend the end. Also screens Saturday - if there is one.
