Tonight's major motion picture was Armageddon (1998), in which a big rock causes a lot of trouble for Bruce Willis and his associates. Been many years since I saw this one, and I reckon it's a lot better than Deep Impact (1998), which came out the same year and had the same premise. But I haven't seen the latter in a while, so maybe I should watch that too before passing judgment. Anyway, the former is great entertainment, if maybe not such good science 
And after that, another one I haven't seen in a while: Last Night (1998), a Canadian film in which the world is going to end, for unspecified reasons, at midnight - though the fact that it remains light and burns to white at midnight in Toronto suggests it may be for similar reasons as the two films above. Anyway, it follows the lives of a number of people, many of which prove to have some kind of interconnection, during those last six hours as they do what they've chosen to do with that last bit of time. I first saw this on (I think) Channel Four a good few years back and got the DVD maybe nine years ago, and I've always liked it a lot; it's a bit like On The Beach compressed into a short period, and in the modern world. Well worth a watch if you can find it
Goodnight all
