Hip Shot: ‘Dust of Babylon’
An unconscionably bad reporter interviews a scientist who’s created a Large Hadron Collider that will soon bring about the end of the world as we know it (and yes, they do quote R.E.M.). For reasons unknown to the characters or the audience, this Prometheus fellow enters, spewing pompous drivel that induces his companions to scream and do push-ups and run circles around him backwards. Finally, the universe comes to a merciful end, and we’re treated to an inexplicable dance number.
