Walter:

They also had "Meteor" on (1979), which predates all the disasteroid
movies that came out at the time of Shoemaker-Levy 9.

Not quite as bad a movie, but not the bast in the world given it cast:

Sean Connery (Bond, James Bond)
Karl Malden

those famous Russian actors
Natalie Wood and Brian Keith

many more famous actors

and a cast of thousands (at least hundreds) as it includes all those
people in "red shirts" that you know are going to die.

All of these gems for now quite so good science.

It has been a while since I have seen it, but now have nice copies of them
that I can bring to class.
