ok so , checked out The Social Network last night...word of advice right off the bat, dont go with anyone that would rather watch an hi-energy kinda movie. they're adhd will kick in pronto and you will soon be paying attention to their squirming rather than the movie.
anywho, there's a part in the movie where justin timberlake playing sean parker says along the lines of..."this is huge for our generation or the big thing for our generation, or somethign like that" but ya it was like it clicked in my head too. although i knew that facebook was a huge deal, i realized it's a HUGE motha f'in deal! for someone to think of this idea , all the little aspects to it and how far it goes in depth and THEN be able to create it on a computer using code....it's incredible.
yes the movie can be slow at times but just be prepared like i was that watching this movie is more like watchign a documentary, but with little quips of humor every now and then. it basically dumbs down in a nutshell all this crazy internet stuff that's been happening since napster came about incase you didnt quite understand it all.
so maybe not worth going and sitting in an uncomfortable theatre for 2 hours but it's a definate must watch at home being cozy.....
i feel like i re learnt everything i already knew but in a new way , found out sum new stuff and am as cheesy and geeky as it sounds, i'm pretty stoked to be apart of such a huge thing for our generation. again, yes i realize it's just a internet site and it's addicting and it's really kinda ridiculous but as the movie refers to, people crave on knowing what everyone else is doing and how their doing it, it makes people in the world go round. something as little as a "relationship status" was actually a huge idea.
also i read an article in the new Vanity Fair about Sean Parker, it tells you the the back history of him and the little differences between the real him and the movie him. worth a read if your pretty interested in this stuff like i became, you can also catch the Lindsey Lohan interview as well in the same mag. jus' sayin.
anyways shut up, watch the movie. dont judge me. goin' to check my facebook now.
just saw it. they are pure genius. i agree with what you said... all of it. haha
