Awesome Wikipedia visualizer, but I didn’t feel all that much besides thunderous bass 😵‍💫 

I just couldn’t sympathize with the guy. I mean, come on, he’s the ‘40s version of the San Francisco tech bro. Sure, you could argue “you’re not supposed to like him” or whatever, but man… this could’ve and should’ve been an adaptation of Cat’s Cradle (which funnily enough has a lot more to say about the father of the atom bomb than this biopic about him) instead. A midget named Newt to root for would have gone a loooong way I tell ya.

I’ll give it this though — NOT BORING! I’d say the security hearing went on a little longer than it needed to, but it was technically impressive enough and carried by such great performances that I was engaged the whole time. Just wasn’t my jam overall. Fuck tech guys! And politicians!

If only the Earth’s atmosphere had ignited during the Trinity test, that would have wrapped things up nice and quick 🔥
