David Fincher's The Social Network

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Strong film.

Not exactly "...the Network of our generation..." but definitely a piece of incredible film that has a significant social impact. It really hit on a lot of things. I mean, its crazy that facebook has been an institution in our society and culture for a little over SIX YEARS now...mypsace and a few other social network sites even longer. Hell, I remember hearing about facebook within the first week or so I enrolled at UM...I was one of the first like 70 people to sign up for facebook on the UM network (facebook had been around for not even a year yet)...I can't believe how it has evolved into what it is (was better when it was just for college kids, but whatever)...but its definitely an institution in our society.

Yeah Larry, I was just telling my moms how I signed up early 2003, and only people in college could join...now, anyone can join, never would have thought it would have grew this big.

Gonna check it out tomorrow hopefully. Heard lots of good stuff about it.

really good story and told even better. i dont use facebook so i was more interested in what the story was about. i thought it was very interesting and and it kept me entertained and glued to my screen throughout.

for anyone who could not give a shit about facebook, u shoudl still watch this film because its a great story regardless of being a fan of the site. Its like the howard stern movie private parts. people wouldnt see it cause they were not a fan of his. But its an excellent story even if u hate the guy

the only reason its a story worth telling is because they know at least half of those 500 million friends will go see it. So they know they can make money off of it.

people who dont use facebook will have no interest in seeing this movie. People who do use it will see it because its like seeing their favorite band in concert or something

I'm watching that turd of a movie right now. "The Expendables" that is.

People saying how great of a story facebook is must not realize that the way it's told in this movie is almost entirely bullshitted/made up. Makes for a better movie though.

Of course it isn't 100% factual, it's a hollywood film.

Is this your first time viewing a motion picture?

 

[Palooza]

I hope this movie rapes the Oscars. I still have to see 127 Hours, though.

if u actually read what u took the time to bold you might understand the difference. My interest in seeing the movie doesnt reflect the masses who dont use facebook. But i am flattered that you recognize my influence

I thought the soundtrack to the film (done by Trent Reznor and one of his buddies) was incredible so I found a d/l link to the soundtrack album if anyone else is interested. Definitely worth a listen.

Loved it, too. Good lookin' out.

Trent Reznor will also be doing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for Fincher, btw.

Would you care to share what really happened? I think the story is interesting so I would like to know what actually happened.

Its not entirely bullshit. Some points are inferred, some are totally falsified, the film does make Zuckerburger appear like an asshole...whether he is or isn't, who the fuck knows.

The general gist of the story IMO is that there are smart fuckers who can build such a thing out of ideas and the entire world relies on it.

i thought it didn't make him look like an asshole, imo it made him look aloof, none caring, detached from reality and if anything did a great job of making him smarter and cooler than he probably is in real life.

any interview i've ever watched of him all i can think is "this dude is a huge fucking dork"

it made programmers look like the life of the party

I liked this movie a lot and it would definitely be somewhere in my top 3 of this year, but I'm thinking the reason it won last night (and will win again in Feb.) is because award committees like to feel important. It's not a better movie than 127 Hours*, but it is really well done, and the "generation defining" label will push it over the top. The timely subject matter gives the award committee license to put their own tiny stamp on history.



*- Still have to see Black Swan, but 127 Hours is in my top spot for now.
