facebook junkies, listen up!
the social network hits theaters october 1st and is promising a tongue-in-cheek look at the making of the world’s biggest networking website. based on the true story – emphasis on BASED – the social network follows founder mark zuckerberg and other key players through the beginning stages of facebook.
the trailer touts a story of intrigue, betrayal, violence, sex and even drugs. it also makes no mistake in portraying zuckerberg as a devious, arrogant punk. so, is it all really true? probably NOT. according to zuckerberg himself and those who know him, this is a classic case of movie magic.
writer aaron sorkin insists its not an attack on zuckerberg… but is sure appears to be. zuckerberg is now bracing for the backlash he’ll receive from viewers of the flick, saying, “it’s what a lot of people will think i am like, because it’s a movie and that has impact on their perceptions.”
honestly, i feel bad for him. he’s right, movies certainly have the unique ability to permeate our perceptions of real-life… and this will probably be no exception.
Hey Kim, I can’t wait to see the movie. Should be a good one. Maybe we can see it together?
