"The Social Network" -the movie

Anyone heard of  the movie "The Social network"?

Maybe you have already heard about this, but i just found out about it. Apparently they have made a movie about Mark Zuckerberg and how he created Facebook. It is set to be released at Australian theaters in November of this year.

Take a look at the trailer.



I don't know about you, but i think that it's a pretty lame idea for a movie. I know that Facebook is the most popular social networking site with millions of user worldwide, and lets face it, we all love Facebook. But how many of us really care how it started? How many of us would be interested in watching a full movie about Mark Zukerberg?

I for one will not be going to see this movie, Will you?

    But even better, have you seen this spoof trailer for the Twitter Movie?

  3. Wags - I realised after i posted this blog entry that this is probably aimed at the wrong audience, seeing most people in Emarketing may actually be interested in seeing the movie. Dont get me wrong, i find emarketing fascinating, just not a movie on how facebook was created lol. Also that twitter trailer was hilarious.

    Spyke - Thanks for the comment. I agree, i couldnt possibly sit through a movie length film on how Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, let alone pay money to watch it.

  4. I think the movie is based on a create concept but i highly doubt it's going to be captivating/thrilling. Personally I prefer my movies to take me on a journey and I too share some skepticism that the movie is going to take me on a worthwhile journey. I think the story of how facebook was created is fascinating - it isn't unique - anyone remember napster? I like a lot of the eralier websites that Zuckerberg created as well. Having said all this, I will be watching it - just not at the movies. It's definately a dvd or download movie.
