The Social Network: First Look at Facebook Movie

[DM0407]

F*ck Facebook, in the face.

Oh my God... Why?
After calling all his customers "dumb" he expects us to pay to watch something that probably isn't all that exciting that puts more money in his pocket?

What? No member of the Facebook staff has anything to do with this movie, nor do they want to, from what I can tell.

It's based on a book called The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal. The name of the author escapes me, but he was advised by one of the founders of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin, who was there at the beginning but split off to do his own thing about a year later.

Seeing as how Zuckerberg supposedly stole the idea from his classmates (at least, a $65 million settlement would suggest he's guilty), it sounds like quite a dirty story. And considering the production company isn't even using Facebook to market/advertise the movie (I'm assuming because it doesn't exactly reflect well on the site's founders), I doubt Mark Zuckerberg 'expects' us to pay to watch it. In fact, I'd wager he hopes no one watches it. But if we do, it's not his pockets we'll be lining.

First intelligent comment out of over 20 comments. I hate when people lack common sense and clearly don't know what they're talking about, which is the norm for the comment section.

Best geek movie since "pirates of silicon valley" and "hackers"?

I honestly don't really care. Facebook got old a few years ago.
