   My daughter and I watched the movie Christmas night.   
      
   It's not so much about the comet as it is a commentary on how people   
   would rather believe social media, lying politicians and billionaire   
   businessmen who support their pre-conceived notions than listen to   
   scientists telling them that there's a great danger they need to do   
   something about.   
      
   I liked the movie.  Good dark comedy, kind of reminded me of something   
   Stanley Kubrick might make if he was still around.
