I seriously thought this was a college humor video until I found out it was real. I only wish the trailer was more interesting because it doesn't make me want to see it.

An epic quest where you travel the internet, trying to collect more 'friends' than everyone else, and avoiding enemies like 'lawsuits' and 'lonely brown cows'. Mini-games include - untagging yourself from drunken photos before your interview the next day, agonising over whether to accept your grandmother's friend request, and poke wars (which I haven't seen in a long time. Does the poke button still exist?).Mukil said:
I'm not sure why so many people are not liking the idea of this. It's the story of the creation of one of the most popular sites in the world revolving around a law suit with billions of dollars at stake. It's hardly the worst concept I've ever heard for a movie.
One thing I will say is it's probably way too soon. It's widely known that this case is still on going. Unless that want to stray from fact and create their own outcome it looks like at this point they're making a movie without and ending.

I don't see any reason to complain about this. It's a rather interesting story, as I've come to understand it, and I saw the trailer in theaters yesterday. At its very worst, it'll just be boring.
The reason I don't want to go see it is because they are playing it out to be soooo epic. Like this was a war of some sorts. It was interesting but Facebook was made out of a dorm to make the creator more popular, Tom got pissed and wanted to go to court. There. Thats it.SomeBritishDude said:
But they kinda destroyed it by saying "So very special" instead of "So fucking special".The "Fucking" put a much greater emphasis on the chorus.Matt_LRR said:
OT:Might check it out.If I have some spare time from school,gaming,watching animé and watching generally good movies.As well as some So bad they're Good ones.
Of coarse it looks epic. It's a trailer. They're made to try to draw in as many as possible. You'll have a hard time finding a trailer saying without words "This is a slow thoughtful movie that won't have your heart racing."enzilewulf said:
Anyway your argument is just a little flawed. In the Shawshank Redemption a man goes to prison, is stuck there for several decades, then he escapes. That's it. (Don't get me wrong, I seriously doubt this will be anywhere near the same league as Shawshank, but you get the idea.)

I hope everyone who's jumped on this movie now feels like a fool. Thanks for this info. I'm definitely going to see this.
Forget the movie, I fucking love the cover that Belgian Choir did. I'm too lazy to go luck up the name.
EDIT: OT: I might get it if it comes out on Red Box--the dollars is all I'm willing to spend on this movie.

The thing is, you could absolutely make a movie about it. The story of toilet paper in the western world is an untold one so far in cinematic history. It would involve patents, large corporations vying for power, deal-making, possibly a bit of skullduggery and blackmail... it's as fertile a ground (pardon the pun) for scriptwriting as anything else. Everyone chiming in with Facebook-hate is missing the entire point of making such a film. The "corporate struggle" movie is a genre that is well-known and it doesn't really matter what the corporation is, or what your opinion of the corporation is, although an unpopular or controversial one certainly does make for more drama. It could be Facebook, Kleenex, Hersheys, Starbucks, Budweiser, Fischer-Price, Toys R Us... doesn't matter.Insane_Foxx said:
