"I'm not an antimatter expert—but I play one in the movies!"

Tom Hanks, promoting a new movie in which evildoers steal an antimatter bomb from CERN, agrees to throw the switch when the Large Hadron Collider restarts.

(I would enjoy this news more if Angels and Demons weren't such a dreadful book.)

Yes, it certainly is dreadful - and can the movie actually make it worse?

Digital Fortress (?) was pretty grim too, as was the one taking a poke at NASA.

Doesn't seem to stop the author making shed-loads of money, however.

Meanwhile, am I the only person who's annoyed by TV series Eleventh Hour? Last week's episode had an evil female scientist clone babies for the purpose of organ transplant, and in which we are warned about playing God. (This makes me even more eager to have Eureka return, silly as its science is.)

Thank you for reinforcing my decision. I am ever so much more glad that I decided not to read Angels & Demons after slogging my way through the disappointing DaVinci Code.
