    I think the movie is impressive in how it took the life of a very interesting man and turned it into something boring. Like, I didn’t even think that was possible beforehand.

      Well they do tend to have to tone down American heroes because most are super flawed.

      Thru can’t even cover some because it would be difficult to explain the huge gaps where freaky shit happened. Like the founder of jpl Jack Parsons, how would you explain the time he hung out on a boat with Hubbard until Hubbard fucked his gf/fiancee and kicked him off the boat. He doesn’t like the next three months “practicing magic” which was mostly writing wishes on slips of paper and masturbating onto them.
