Facebook: The Movie.

[R3dF41c0n]

That trailer reminds me of "Pirates of Silicon Valley" (Great movie, go see it because it's about Gates and Jobs). I'll see it just because I loved PoSV.

I can't say much about the movie, but the trailer's cover of Radiohead's 'Creep' is fucking chillinly beautiful.

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.

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.

Radiohead's own radio edit of the song replaces "fucking" with "very". The full version of this cover says "fucking" - they simply recorded the radio version for use in the trailer.

Well fuck the radio edit.I have radio edits.They usually screw songs over for me.
And thank you for sharing the PROPER cover.

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.

Thank you.

I hate Facebook but this movie looks interesting to me. I wish more people would understand this.

"Lets make a movie about dinosaurs" "no wait instead of that silly dinosaurs idea lets do one about facebook and make the main character be the guy who created it but not let the actual guy star in it"
STICK WITH THE DINOSAURS PLEASE! P.S PLEASE TAKE YOUR SANDWICH OUT OF THE CD PLAYER!!

seriously most kids wanna see dinosaurs not a facebook movie which seems pointless because it isn't even about facebook it's about some guy getting a lawsuit for having the same idea as some guy who had the same idea as pretty much most social picture sites

The actual story behind FaceBook is really interesting if Rolling Stone is to be believed. I want to see this movie... not because I care about FaceBook, it's because the real story is pretty crazy and seeing a movie version of it would be pretty awesome. I don't understand why everyone is so against this movie. It's not like it's just going to be 2 hours of some programmer sitting at his computer...

Oh c'mon guys, it's freaking Micheal Cera. Isn't he great?

Yeah... that's not Michael Cera...

Facebook is as redundant as those crappy NEON/LED lights some douchebags install under their cars.

I don't think that word means what you think it means...

Fantastic reporting Mr. Quickbender.

You could make a movie about Skype too, and it would actually be potentially really cool for the same reasons.

What about Chatroulette ?

Depends how big it gets.

It doesn't matter what you think of Facebook. What matters is how the story is told.

Oh and did you notice that the guy doing this film did Seven and Fight Club?

 

[nicholaxxx]

Am I the only one who finds this interesting?

I'm with you. It looks interesting enough to at least warrant the cost of a movie ticket.

 

[wolf92]

WHAT?!?! Next thing you know there gonna make a movie about a cheese sandwich! Or the DS sitting on my desk right now! But a FACEBOOK MOVIE?!?

HEY don't compare cheese sandwiches to facebook
At least cheese sandwiches provide nutritional value

 

[lacktheknack]

Meh... I like the idea of The Sims movie better.

 

[BonsaiK]

Considering the current economic crisis, I don't think the audience will appreciate a "corporate struggle" movie.

Why not? More millionaires were created during the Great Depression than at any other time in human history. Why? People had great ideas, saw an idle workforce, and put thought into action. Every big corporation started small, as an idea in the mind of one person or a small group of people. The real message in a "corporate struggle" film is "despite hardship, you can achieve your goals", which should be very inspiring to anybody going through hard times.

The way he said "Yes." then "Which part?" was a little amusing. What's next, a movie about Twitter? YouTube?

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Wow... Kay I have one thing to say about this...

I honestly can't believe people are getting all pissy and childish about this.

I know, pathetic isn't it.

What blows me away most of all is few people are even noticing that it's the Fight Club director's new film. Jesus, FIGHT CLUB for chrissake! This could be the film of the decade if done right. No, instead everyone just goes "I hate facebook so baaaaaaaw", which is a bit like saying "I think fighting is stupid so Fight Club must suck".

Maybe the entire narrative will be conveyed solely through status updates?

Or maybe it won't. Probably not.

Edit: Also, since noone has posted it yet:

I never use a word unless I know what it means. Facebook is redundant = Facebook is excessive. So is installing NEON/LED lights under your car.

In what way is it excessive?

 

[BonsaiK]

Facebook is redundant = Facebook is excessive

Actually the main reason why Facebook predominated over MySpace as the major social network is because Facebook kept their interface lean, system-conservative and relatively minimal, as opposed to allowing their users to run rampant with massive ugly customisations, bells and whistles which chewed up bandwidth and resources.
