The LHC at CERN officially turns on in T minus 5 hours.
This is one of the most exciting things to possibly happen to physics in decades. Scientists are hoping to answer questions about how the universe began, since the effect of the two particles colliding will produce energy levels theoretically not seen since the Big Bang.
Physicists are also hoping that the LHC will produce the Higgs boson, a currently-theoretical particle that, if observed, will confirm predictions and missing links in the Standard Model of Physics (such as how particles acquire mass). This is an important step towards a Grand Unification Theory (a theory unifying 3 of the 4 known fundamental forces in the universe), which is currently the Holy Grail of physics.

Also, she had a boob-double for this amazingly gratuitious sex-scene and you could totally tell it wasn't her. It's just really a very unintentionally hysterical movie.
Maybe you can Netflix it? Because it's totally worth seeing.

See, I'm always on the lookout for really bad movies. My friends and I have this habit of really enjoying watching them. :D
