I really cant bring myself to care about this movie. The subject just isnt that interesting.(imo of course)

-I don't care what the next expansion is about, as long as the story is dark and rich so I can refer to it as Chocolate WoW.
the way the story was told, each step up the climatic ladder, and the overall conflict was just really enjoyable to me
I was really skeptical about this movie, but I have to admit it was really well done.
I think the deeper message of the movie was friendship and not really Facebook as a whole, although the movie does give a good background on the website.
Superb script, cast and overall execution.
I never understood why facebook became so popular. Its just a copy of myspace. With myspace being a copy of something else. The thing is though if myspace hadn't become popular then facebook probably would have failed. Businesses that use FB annoy the fuck out of me though. I see on commercials sometime saying go to facebook.com/whatever the product is and I just always sit there saying to myself, why the fuck would I go to facebook if I want to find out about a product? I would just go to the website of whatever the product is.
I'm honestly going to laugh when facebook loses popularity and fades into oblivion like myspace has. So many people will feel like they have wasted their lives then. Not to mention all the stupid companies telling us to go to facebook instead of their own website. I mean really? The whole point of telling people to go to your website is to make money from the ad revenue. Thats why the 'win a free coke' and other such games from bottle caps has been dead for years now. Its all 'go enter this 20 digit long code on our website to see if you won'.
Facebook is popular because of the relationship status. It was, as explained in the trailer, a way to see the relationships of people in college without looking awkward and walking up to someone or someone else asking if they're single or have a boyfriend/girlfriend.
As for the movie, this movie was great, and by far my favorite movie of the year. The acting was the best I've seen, the dialog was great. If you love movies, then see this movie. The movie itself is not about Facebook, it's about the ironic tale of how someone with no friends and no relationship created something to bring people together. It is also about how money and greed can make you loose the best and closet friends, the ones that helped you with the idea. Facebook and it's court cases was just a way to tell this story. Club scene btw, best club scene in movie history, they got the environment just right, almost started dancing in the theater...
Great movie if you dont get it then i dont know what to say its clear as day light its just those types of movies that are looked at from different angles, times and different steps at a time.
Awesome sig by Nifzilla!
That. I've met some of my best friends on WoW, people I plan to know for the rest of my life. I don't regret a moment of it. On topic, I really enjoyed the film. Probably not something I'd ever buy, or see a second time, but an enlightening and amusing look into the site's history, and most of the actors wee fantastic (even Timberlake. I was a bit hesitant about seeing him in this, but I just saw him as his character, not as himself. Pleasantly surprised).
Aaron Sorkin who wrote the screenplay doesn't know a thing about Facebook, and doesn't care about it. The film is about Mark Zuckerberg and the two lawsuits against him, not Facebook.
It's unfortunate that so many people are going to ignore this film because of what they think it's going to be about, just as so many stupid teenagers who are addicted to Facebook will probably see it and not understand a thing.
It's a really well made film, with great acting and a superb script.
All that immediately happened after what we saw was that he settled both cases out of court, nothing even Sorkin & Fincher could've made interesting to watch. From an artistic point of view, it ended exactly as it should, in a terrific juxtapose of the opening scene.
It looks like an overrated piece of crap based on an internet fad.
