Armageddon

Armageddon is the freakin' end of the world, man! At least according to the Book of Revelations. In accordance with prophecy, at the "End Times", the armies of Earth will gather together for one final big blow-out, after which, we all die and wait to be judged. Rather drab. The concept of Armageddon has probably been interpreted and re-interpreted more often than Mulholland Drive and no two people can ever seem to agree as exactly what it entails or when it will take place. Crazies get all hopped up over the concept of Armageddon and you can usually found these unbathed whack-a-loons stumbling down sidewalks shouting gibberish wearing a sandwich board that reads, "The End is Nigh!", or some variation thereof.

Armagedddon is also the title to a 1998 sci-fi/action movie directed by Michael Bay. The premise of the film involves a big-ass asteroid speeding its way to Earth, but it is too big for the government to just nuke the hell out of it, so they have little choice but to seek assistance from the world's best deep core oil drillers who they fly up into space to crack the thing apart with their trusty drilling tools.
