"The Social Network"... and the story continues...

Seems $65m wasn't enough for them!

They are the victims of one of the biggest rip-offs in web history - or they are two greedy, over-privileged, young men trying for the second time to sponge off somebody else's genius.

there greedy fucks regardless. they have 65 million. thats enough to feed and house a city for a good long time. they need some goddamn humility.

[blind2d]

Agreed, yes... I'm sick of people talking about facebook... where's the twitter movie, that's what I want to know!

because it would be a single bipolar hipster yelling in a coffee bar about how, like, totally awesome that one sandwich at the place with the thing was.

[blind2d]

That would at least be entertaining! Reminds me of the Gonz from Wastell's intro in Krooked Kronichles (RIP, Van). Want me to quote it?! I don't care, here I go anyway!
"We got Stevie Wonder on the tunes... we got all these people here ready to take our order if we want a sandwich, coffee... I mean, this is the life! Van Wastell, does it get much better than this?" - Mark Gonzales
But yeah, screw Facebook.

Zuckerberg is one of the biggest douchebags on the planet. I hope (although it will never happen) they take everything away from him, not just $.

...and remember kids, Zuckerberg was the one that called his first few thousand users, and I quote, “dumb fucks” for trusting him with their data. And people thought this dude was trustworthy at one point? :rolleyes:

A movie I can't be bothered to see about a website I can't be bothered to join...

The film is actually very good (IMHO)!

I liked it... Jesse Eisnberg played his part very well, and knowing the ins and outs of the rise of FB was quite entertaining. They should make a class out it that teach students in regards to ETHICS

[bassman]

Sorta kinda but not really related....anyone pick this flick up on dvd or blu ray? Do the special features or the film itself make it worth a purchase or just rental?

Ummm.. exactly what "ethics" does this movie teach? Zuckerberg obviously has none.

Ah, ok, I misunderstood what you were trying to say. That, however, makes perfect sense. :D

Ole brain not firing on all 8 cylinders this morning? or is the German engineering not up to snuff? :elol:

My car is fine, my brain, however, is a whole other story my friend. :D :lol:

What brain? I thought you smoked that fucker out 5 years ago :lol: :fin:

Are the special features worth the purchase? Also, is blu ray really necessary for this particular release or will dvd suffice(I often like to listen to commentaries while at my computer at work)?

[DjfunkmasterG]

The Blu-Ray is loaded with stuff the DVD doesn't have, but the commentary is on both discs. The PQ is amazing on the disc, but is it needed on Blu? probably not, but since it was only $3.00 more than the DVD and had more features... tis why I bought it.

Ummmm, you're the one who insinuated I had a brain to begin with, Dj. :lol: :lol:

I still have a brain... I'll admit it's probably a piece of charcoal on a brainstem right about now, but I still have a brain!


*wanders off whistling "If I Only Had a Brain"*

Charcoal with a brainstem eh?

The imagery is... comedic :lol:

[bassman]

Aside from you two bitching like a married couple:p......I finally saw this flick last night...

So now the twins are wanting MORE money? WTF? They're already from a wealthy family, won 65 million for doing NOTHING, and now they want more?!? If the film is to be believed, those guys are nothing but grade-A greedy douchebags.

As for the film itself - I really enjoyed it, but best film of 2010? ehhh....not so sure about that. Granted, I haven't seen every film of the past year, but if this is the best then the pickings must have been slim. Black Swan would easily trump this as the best, imho. Not that Social Network is bad, I just didn't find it to be as incredible as some reviews would lead you to believe. Zodiac was a much better Fincher film.

Is Black Swan that impressive?

[bassman]

It's not mind-blowingly impressive, but I found it to be a bit more engaging and original than Social Network. It seems to me that Social Network is being voted best of the year because of a lack of options.

Again....it's wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything we haven't really seen before, you know?

Y'know, we're always up for a threesome, bassman.... :shifty:
