I don't think that astronauts go through courses that teach them how to drill, they don't know shit about it. So these guys were the best pick, they were born to drill!

I also knew about that and ended I up watchin Back to the Future 2 again to see if it was really him. I didn't even like Elijah as Frodo! He wasn't frodo-y enough for me, his creepy eyes kept distracting me throughout the movie! The only points of Armageddon that I remember were the lame catchy Aerosmith song (with the videoclip to match) and Liv Tyler... the only reason for me to see it again and again hehehe And what's wrong with Deep Impact?! Cinema 101 : you do NOT kill your main character! I guess someone say "Hey let's kill the audience surrogate!" and that was it! LOL @ Nickolai Wow, that’s some movie knowledge… I also knew about that and ended I up watchin Back to the Future 2 again to see if it was really him.

And let's not forget his big break, as the Gunsmoke-playing kid in Back to the Future 2.

Part of his problem in most movies is that he's an odd little bastard. Which kind of worked for his role in Sin City. Although I still didn't love him for the role. @Nathan Another good point.
