End of the world

I went about my usual daily business scarcely aware that this potentially devastating device (Hadron Collider- Will post the link later. Looks like the entire world is searching for it so it wont load) will be unleased on the world today. Imagine the irony - the experiment CERN is conducting to study the Big Bang - the birth of the universe can cause the the end of the world. All the radio stations are inviting callers to discuss their "in a blaze of glory" exit from this world. A lady wants to take her husband to all his ex's so they can give him a last goodbye kiss? Huh? Another guy wants to propose (sic) to Sania Mirza.
Anyway, what about my blaze of glory? I want to discuss a movie. A movie called Dark Storm that I watched quite recently on TV (was that a sign from up above?). This obscure movie (took me tons of googling to get to its name - had forgotten it) talks about exactly the world faces today. Scientists in some super secret military lab discover "dark matter" and the mandatory evil and greedy one amongst them wants to un leash that on the planet for his own excitement (or to sell it or whatever). You see, its very hard to understand what the movie tries to convey. But if you ask me, this was the warning god gave to us long back (movie released in 2006). What's the fun if you dont use your grey matter to figure out the deep implications of the movie?? So here we have Mr. Rebonded hair scientist (turns out he has a web site for his "fans" but again I get an error. Is it just me?) who has swallowed dark matter (the evil guy puts it in him in true Guinea pig fashion). He can now control it. He's got this flashy presence on screen (literally) and can throw electricity bolts at people amongst other things. A boring 2 hours and tons of close ups on the hero's hair style later, Mr hero guy goes to this "lab" to stop the dark matter from creating a black hole in order save the planet. I'll leave the ending for you to figure. Come on you've got to use your grey matter too - to figure out how to tackle today.

As for me - I've now told the whole world how to save planet earth. Watch Dark Cloud.
