Rachel and Yoon are safely here, despite being on I-5 for six years months hours. Rachel blames her lack of time sense on the car trip. I think I will blame it on the cows populating I-5.

I have successfully sicced So You Think You Can Dance on Yoon and Rachel, and this week's had a beautiful classical pas de deux; the quickstep aka the kiss of death; a Twilight-inspired vampire dance, which I thought was there specifically as a welcome to Yoon and Rachel; and a tinfoil alien/dinosaur with spikes on her head abduction mpreg dance, which made me change my mind about the prior welcome to Yoon and Rachel, since this must be the REAL welcome!

And now, we are about to watch Armageddon, which Rachel has introduced as having a spontaneously combusting priest in the first five minutes.

The back cover copy is [bracketed comments by me]:
The world's 10 most influential scientists are being mysteriously killed one by one [as one does. Pause. Burst into laughter for a minute straight] (via spontaneous combustion, lethal microwaves and other strange causes).

[Me: I guess by lethal microwaves they mean ray-gun-like things, but I keep picturing scientists bashing each other over the head with microwaves!

[Rachel: I thought it was a giant microwave that you stuffed people in!

[Me: Maybe they shove microwaves off tall buildings onto innocent scientist bystanders...]

One of the scientists, software prodigy Dr. Ken (Andy Lau [aka the reason Rachel Netflixed this), searches for clues to these bizarre deaths, only to see his fiancee apparently return from the dead. All indications point to the end of the world [as spontaneous combustion and returning from the dead so often does], and Dr. Ken may be the only one who can save humanity [from lethal microwaves. Via software].

Oh, it took me a while to realize you meant a different Armageddon movie, and it made me curious about the Affleck one until I realized my mistake.

I think Andy Lau and exploding scientist would no doubt have improved the Ben Affleck movie too!

You girls need to stop fattening my already-bloated Netflix queue. Mmm, Andy Lau.
