The virtual experience was amazing there was audience coughing and people walking into the screen and your view was shifted unexpectedly as though your eyes were a shaky hand, needless to say I felt illegal and deleted this as soon as I finished watching it but didn't feel too bad because the whole film takes a 'stuff copyright' sort of angle through that whole "I'm Shawn Fanning I totally ruined corporate music I'm the man" thing and Mark Zuckerberg being all "don't care about money yo, ironically super rich". Everything is accessible and we're all contributing to the war innit.
So I hate Law & Order just because my dad watches it all the time and back in the day it would stand between me and my marathons of Jonas / Wizards Of Waverly Place so kinda was all "don't get u tv show please stop existing". The whole movie was basically the same deal except without the misconception and due to the wry humour of Zucky / subject matter of faceworld / college experience / mad intense music, I found it super compelling. Something for everyone or whatever. Made me consider being a lawyer for the first time ever. Made me wanna write influential blogs and get better at coding.
The music actually is an aspect that I feel should be noted via this music blog review. It makes the movie, really. Super fast paced, incredibly experimental in some parts, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, big fan of your work keep it real. If you watched this movie already and weren't aware of how the music affected your heart rate the entire way through you should rewatch it. If you have yet to see it, and come on movie of the year you're all going to see it so when you see it, consider this and be amazed.
The whole time I kept being like man this is based on real people 6 years ago, wonder what that background bro majored in, wonder if the president of Harvard's actually awesome, wonder if Erica Albright's digging this movie being dedicated to some billionaire geek being in love with her, I really want to know if Zuckerman said in the legal battle with Eduardo, "oh just doing the maths, yeah 1,000 plus 16,000 cool yep I got 17,000 too" or if in real life he was walking out of that meeting and was like "oh man if I said that it would have been really funny. If they make a movie about my life I will get them to add it in". If someone made a movie about my life I have a pocketful of those. Little observation, isn't facebook awesome because where this missed opportunity used to take place in the old days, you can now think up witty retorts and just pretend you were making a sandwich and not brainstorming a good reply. Everyone's funnier now.
The other thing about the movie was that if it wasn't based on truth I would think the entire story was a manufactured impossibility, all the crazy drama and results and stuff. Was exclusivity THE ONLY THING that made facebook better than myspace? Why was 'relationship status' so revolutionary? Like I still don't understand why facebook was the social network that really took off. More confused than ever, now, in fact. Do you reckon there will be a movie about some guy who did the same thing in South Africa and everyone thought it was gonna be awesome but then they all left the network for facebook just by chance? Do you reckon Die Antwoord would make a cameo? And the developer is really racist then at the end gets eaten by a wild dog? Is that more far-fetched than Mark Zuckerberg's life or would you seriously believe it?
Here are some idioms about Mark that are awful but there was a lot of wine left at my party so I thought I'd do a drunken blog a la the start of this movie and so this seems like something you would all love to read we can laugh about it later. They are all about things that Mark can buy now that he is a billionaire and obviously has a dry sense of humour.
If Mark Zuckerberg bought an animal he would buy a zuckerbird.
If Mark Zuckerberg went into a sport store he would buy a zockerball.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't eat lollipops he eats zuckers.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't buy vivids he buys Markers. Muckers. Markergs. Markerbergs. There's something in there.
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't need luck, he's got zuck.
Mark Zuckerberg calls frozen water 'zucker'. Because you replace the ice in iceberg. I dunno. That one was really bad.
If Mark Zuckerberg got the munchies at 3am he would have to buy a Mak Zuckerburger.
If Mark Zuckerberg's first name started with an f and he was dyslexic he would probably swear unintentionally a lot.
If someone asks Mark Zuckerberg for money they say "hey can I borrow five zucks"
If Mark Zuckerberg was a character in an American Sitcom it would be Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place. He would be Berg. This one is only good because the reference is obscure.
People who don't like my idioms are zuckers.
And your bra size is ACTUALLY B not C you just have a pretty face.
CAN I GO TO SLEEP NOW
This Mark deserves some respect.
