Run for your lives.

We’re all gonna die.

George Bush’s fault.

News at 11.

[Steely Tom]

I wonder if they discussed a “peacetime strategy” vs. a “wartime strategy.”

[PROCON]

Women, children and minorities hardest hit.

[Pollard]

Hide in their superbunkers and say screw the rest of us

[Talisker]

That's no asteroid...

[Venkman]

What a colossal waste of time and money. Who are they trying to kid? Their first and only priority would be to get themselves and the “elites” into a secure underground shelter somewhere far away from the impact.

[PAR35]

Interesting scenario. I wonder whether a land hit or an offshore hit would cause more harm.

[Vaquero]

[rktman]

Full reverse on the thrusters. STAT!

[laplata]

That was a stupid movie.

[dsrtsage]

Maybe they can alter its path just enough to nail Mecca

[BenLurkin]

Sea probably. The tsunamis would be global.

[Vaquero]

Better than whiny deep impact.

Hilarious from hitting golf balls at greenpeace to the road runner coyote joke to Buscemi shooting the Gatling gun and getting tied up.

A hilariously stupid movie. Good science? Hell no. Good buddy action comedy movie? One of the best.

[BenLurkin]

Mucho whiny, and featured the RBF queen of the silver screen...

[editor-surveyor]

>> “RBF queen” <<

Root Beer Float queen?

Alright!
.

[Overtaxed]

[BenLurkin]

A root beer float sweetened with two ounces of 100 proof vodka...and then hope she turns cuddly instead of snarly.

[Excellence]

El Segundo? Seriously?
