Why Is This Going To Be A Movie?

I know I fart out that same question about half of the shit shows Hollywood puts out, but I really really mean it with this one. Variety (via Coming Soon) reports that a movie about the creation of Facebook is going to exist. My status is currently: BANGING MY HEAD INTO MY IKEA TABLE. My next status will be: FIXING IKEA TABLE BECAUSE THE CHEAP SHIT BROKE.

Okay, I shouldn't be so dramatic. David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin are involved in this shit, so maybe it's not going to be a complete butt nugget. BUT the movie isn't going to be about Facebook itself, it's going to be about the two Harvard geeks who created it. This is the problem. A movie about Facebook could be kind of hot. It would be 2 hours of zombies planting flowers and vampire hunters taking quizzes on "Which The Hills character are you?". That is entertainment.

You know what else sounds better than a movie about the Facebook dudes? The MySpace movie! It would be 90 straight minutes of Tom's default picture and that's it. Speaking of, is it just me or does Tom move sometimes when you stare at his picture long enough? Or maybe I need to step away from the bong......

Mike ~ Wilhem Dafoe is a great actor. Did you see Platoon?? He keeps the shit in line.

Or, how about Sam Elliot?

So, you're wholeheartedly up for this then, Khensu Hetep!

Facebook can go fuck itself with its millions of spammy applications you're only going to use once (if that).

And fuck people posting your photos without permission. If I say "I don't want this picture of me posted on the internet because I look like death warmed over", I don't fucking want it there...especially not without my consent to it being posted.

I don't need to know what my friends are doing every second of the day or who "loves" who. I couldn't care less to find out just how wild and crazy that party was from last night. I'm not amused by the 50something photos of you at McDonald's being "drunk" and/or "random" with your best friends at 4:00 in the morning. You have friends, I get it.

For a lot of college and high school kids, Facebook is an outlet for kids to feel popular and "with it" or a receptacle for ZOMG DRAMA...which is actually why I stopped using Facebook account a long time ago.

As for the movie...it's really saddening that this is the most creative it gets outside of remakes and straight-to-DVD sequels. No-one has the imagination to formulate any plot whatsoever?

I bet you that Seth Rogen is going to get a role in this movie, since he's the second coming of Christ for typical high school kids, who are (let's be honest here) the only people who are going to watch this pile of junk when it comes to theatres.

I'm convinced that all the teenie-boppers will watch anything if you name-drop a load of pop culture references in there.

Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby or a woman to have sugar daddy??

It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services came out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship.

such as ^-^ http://SugarDaddyChat.com/ ^-^

it's the biggest sugar dating site for beautiful woman and rich man!

How about a movie about MakeOutClub.com or Livejournal? That's where they got the ideas from. They better at least give some credit to them.

M.E., ITA!! Sorry to all my friends & familia but after working in so many fucking inbound customer service call centers I hate the damn phone. I'm a texter now and if I could have a plan that was text only I'd hop on that shit. I have both Myspace & FB. I don't know if one's better than the other.

No wonder Hollywood keeps remaking classics, 'cause whenever they want to do something new and original they invariably do some shit about people or things no one wants to see a movie about.

Facebook & MySpace are for loosers that have NO lifes.

St. Angie loons in fact...
***********************************

Hey that ain't true! I do some cool networking on MySpace...long range - cuz I'd like to start traveling soon, I've found it really helpful.FB is ok...it's not bad...it's just super easy to overwhelm myself with socializing over there...reminiscing with the old friends and current peeps and not so old friends and stuff...too much, man - I can't keep EVERY single person close that I've ever touched base with, man!

I tried with the games and such but it really becomes like a whole 'nother job. I already have this job! ;p and my real one, sometimes... so yeah - it gets to be too much...

But MySpace really is my space, achally. It's feels like my little clubhouse over there...it's also cuz I can play with it more creatively...FB is very office-y...if you're into that kinda thing, I guess...

*****

Let me correct myself...

Facebook & MySpace are for loosers that have NO lifes. (Expect Angel, because she rocks)

St. Angie loons in fact...

;0)

I've tried MySpace and Facebook before (outta boredorm) and they both just annoy the hell out of me.

Whenever i try and picture someone who uses MySpace/facebook, I just see and overweight nerd. (Or if I try really hard - a naked Willow from Buffy - but lets not go there, lol)

I knew a girl nicknamed doorknob once.

Was she bright?

************************************************

Hahahaha! Not especially, no. Her nickname wasn't from being stupid though. It is kinda a gross story.

Is her story somehow like the stories involving copious amounts of alcohol and a gearshift?

Skype is a free program basically for the same thing the other IMs do. But the audio is almost cristal clear. No bugs. You can also just type and use a webcam. You can even use it on phones, but i believe they'll charge you for that. Skype for the computer is free.

Agreed. No My(WasteOf)Space or Farcebook for me, thanks. There is a reason I ceased communication with former acquaintences and plan to keep my level of interaction with them to nil.

I found my 'first'. Still single, still hot. And he was pleasantly surprised to hear from me.

I also found some family I hadn't spoken to in over 20 but that's not nearly as fun.

Facebook: I don't accept any of the stupid quizzes or "gifts" or cocktails from people. Or little green patches, whatever those are. I don't join the stupid groups, either. I HATE that stuff. Some people are probably pissed that I didn't accept their cosmo, but they can stuff it.

All that shit is just a way to gather marketing info from the sheeple anyway.
