Ha! I Just Facebooked Your Mom! Burn!

It’s that time of year again, folks, where we can start to look past the rest of the summer releases (except for Inception, yo!) and into the fall when the good movies start to arrive, although given how lackluster the summer has been, I’m not expecting miracles during Oscar season, either.

In any respect, here’s the teaser trailer for David Fincher’s The Social Network, aka, The Facebook Movie. I do think the movie, which was scripted by Aaron Sorkin and tracks the origins of Facebook back on Harvard’s campus way back in 2004, is going to be good, notwithstanding the dramatic emphasis the characters are voicing toward concepts herein that are only really dramatic to older people who don’t really know what Facebook is. “Thousand, twenty-two thousand” hits; or “We’ll sue him in federal court!”

What I’m saying is, don’t let the teaser trailer dissuade you from seeing it. Let the eventual real trailer dissuade you (if you must).

Frankly, I'm just curious to see Eisenberg play something other than a stammering nerdlinger.

I don't even have to see the teaser to be dissuaded.

No. Thanks.

Now... get the fuck off my lawn.

A billionaire nerdlinger?

Ignoring the merits of the production, the main problem is that the real world story isn't finished yet and anything covered here will date pretty quickly. A story of a dotcom- albeit a big one- that has been around for five or six years? In five more years FB may well be gathering dust a'la MySpace in the wake of the next networking fad. If it was about the broader subject of social networking it might get traction, but this just seems localized on someone and something I don't really care to invest 2 hours watching.

/aging argument and the damn thing hasn't even been released yet

except for Inception, yo!

I just really loved that.

Huh...so that's it for the big summer movies, is it? Toy Story 3 was the last big one?

That's pretty fucking pathetic for this summer.

What's with the trend of dropping "yo"s after statements? I do it all the time and I blame Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad.

I don't care about this movie. I care even less about Facebook itself. If I want to make friends with people, I do it in person. (Present company excluded, of course.)

Come on, you know you want to...

Lindsey Withan'e' on Facebook. Come on over!

I was actually very pleased with that. Maybe I'm ignoring some flaws or something subconsciously, because that makes me pretty excited to see the finished product.

Squirrelgripper, I think you're missing the point: It's not about the life of Facebook but about the shadiness that went down when it started and how Zuckerberg is sort of an evil maniacal genius, according to some people. The site itself is merely the catalyst for a massive legal and emotional drama.

Posted by: ChristianH at June 28, 2010 1:10 PM

Unfortunately I struggle to find either tale compelling. Hopefully I'm underestimating the level of skullduggery but whether the subject is the machinations of Zuckerberg & co or Facebook itself, it just sounds like a straight-to-dvd biopic. Sorkin and Fincher are going to have to be at the top of their game to make the squabbling of billion dollar brats even vaguely interesting.

Ok, I may have been one of the only people who saw it, but parts of the dialogue in this trailer, namely the "we don't know what it can be, we don't know what it will be" and "if you guys were the inventors of facebook, you'd have invented facebook"
both seem kind of similar to the dialogue from Sorkin's latest play, The Farnsworth Invention. Not that I mind much, just noticing that it's a pretty similar story.

I'm expecting something mildly enjoyable on a par with 'Pirates of Silicon Valley'...lots of scene chewy fun, broadly drawn character studies of people we'd love to see on the low side (us now having to arch our necks, we poorly scum) and a few bombastic calendar touchpoints. And, of course, the boobs in bikinis "we've made it!" scene.

The difference being - in our even lower attention span culture, you only have to wait five years...you too can be part of this one, whereas very few could claim to be handling punch cards in the time of home computer evolution.

Pirates of Silicon Valley 2, yo!!

it would seem Facebook has taken another step to interact it's audience in the trivial and banal. Half the time we do not even have to type? I worry that the end product of social media (that I really like) will in fact be a generation of super self-absorbed lazy people.

Hello there I found ones website whilst looking an associated community forum along with in all honesty I favor this, We'll returning yet again rapidly. Certainly along with your Point of view about this topic 100% ! And you've a good wonderful layout in addition.

Wow. I had not thought about this that way before. I'm book-marking this to check out your other posts later. I have a couple of other websites to read and discovered this while investigating some things for school.

I may have a few screws loose, but for the longest time I have been thinking that perhaps the biggest favor we could do for the poor populace in Africa would be to annilate all the dangerous animals. Africa is full of lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, black mambas and many other dangerous animals. All of these animals must force people away from enormous amounts of resources as well as making life extremely dangerous. How free can poor subsistence farmers become bigger when even moving around the country is hemmed in by an open zoo? I would also knock off every alligator on earth too (two legs good; four legs bad). They are a danger to children (probably not you) and pigs that the farmers might own. Think of how much more coin you could make if domesticated herds could use the same vast natural resources used by useless to poor people's wild herds and their natural predators. I am totally serious about this even if I might be nuts, ill informed, or both.

I'm extremely excited for the Tunisians after watching them break free from their old corrupt government! The people of Tunisia show their will to make a greater country, and also their bravery and strength through audacious protest. I wish for the security of the new government and the success of Tunisians in the future!

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Yes, I agree with the above poster although I suppose you need to put the matter into context of wht is actually being asked for here

I am just seriously amazed with your article writing capabilities and the website design on your web site. Simply how much is this theme or did u customise it on your own? No matter what it is, continue this great article writing, great material like these are really hard to find!! :D

Posted by: Jocuri Gratis at February 5, 2011 7:08 PM

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.

Not a bad article, did it take you a large number of your time to think about it?
