The moment in 'The Circle' when Emma Watson has a horrifying, dangerous idea
We've all been young and full of ideas -- some of you may even be young and full of ideas -- and that's a very terrible, very dangerous thing. You people must be stopped.
Exhibit A: This clip from The Circle, exclusively shared with Mashable, in which Emma Watson's young and full-of-ideas character has a light bulb go on. A highly radioactive, shrapnel-filled doomsday bomb of a light bulb.
Seriously, just watch it (above) and tell us whether anyone who's young and optimistic enough to be like "Hey, we can still make it to Tijuana before midnight!" should also be trusted with geopolitically loaded tech innovations. Or cars. Or social media accounts.
So the next time you have an idea -- "Hey, what if we put tiny mobile computers in everyone's pocket?" -- just remember Emma Watson's stand-up moment in The Circle, which comes out in theaters April 28.
Just ... don't, OK? Please? Stay sitting down before you think of something worse, like, I don't know, remixing The Silence of the Lambs as a romantic comed -- oh COME ON.
