This is an internet myth.

Someone once mentioned showing a clip from Armageddon at the beginning of a class and jokingly asking what was wrong with it, as an icebreaker, and that comment became part of an internet telephone game.

Screening a full film, like Armageddon, requires obtaining clearance from the studio and sometimes the studio charges a fee. It isn't worth the hassle and we don't have the budget.

It's also old, old news. I give a tour of our simulator facility to kids from the Kansas Cosmosphere. I used to make a joke that the only thing Armageddon got correct was the chairs we use at our consoles. I don't make that joke anymore because more of the kids were not even born when that movie came out and very few have seen the film.
