Comment:	Ok I bet you feel real smart making fun of Bruce Willis and the movie Armageddon but I really like Bruce Willis as an actor and I also like the rest of the cast especially the girl pilot man I forget her name but she is real sexy and I like those stripers man they were also sexy. Oh and your so called 'art' its crap. Ok?

Comment:	'The gravity on the asteroid 'the size of Texas' would be negligible, not earthlike, as the film seemed to portray most of the time.' It wasn't earthlike at all actually. On earth they wouldn't have had to use thrusters to stay grounded. 'I paced out into the night sporting that vague deflated feeling one gets when one has seen an unscary horror film.' It's a comedy you douche. If you're going to criticize films the least you could do is get the genre right. I found you're review dull and uneducated. Try harder next time.

Comment:	Umm, Janie, how was Armageddon in any way a comedy? I hope that was sarcasm. The review had valid points, but I think overall, it was a pretty good movie. No need for the whole rant about the space station though. Went on way too long with that. As far as the whole gravity thing goes, I don't remember exactly what they said in the movie, but the equation for the gravitational force of two objects on each other is F = GMm/R². Since it's dependent on mass, the force is greater with a larger mass. Since the mass of the asteroid was only the size of Texas, there would've been very little gravitational force from the asteroid acting on the astronauts. So he's correct there. Although they tried to depict a weak gravitational force by using thrusters, I believe it would've been much weaker. They portrayed a moon-like gravity, but it wouldn't have been close to the moon's gravitational pull.
