The Facebook Movie

All of you Facebook fans out there should set a date to see the film The Social Network, which opened two days ago. The story is about Mark Zuckerberg and his best friend Eduardo Severin who partner together to create a new website after a rather insulting breakup that Mark experiences with his girlfriend. Mark rushes back to his dorm to trash his ex-GF on his blog, and while becoming more intoxicated, he creates a new website that pretty much trashes all the female students in the northeastern colleges.
Zuckerberg, a Harvard underclassman and computer programming genious with no social skills, becomes involved with other Harvard students who provide the seed for the eventual Facebook site. Within a very short time, Zuckerberg is involved in skirmishes with Harvard, with the dashing Winklevoss twins, and eventually his own best friend Eduardo. His introduction to Sean Parker, the young man who made and lost a fortune with his own Napster website, contributes to the decadence that leads to the multi-million dollar lawsuits. The college parties portrayed in the film resemble nothing close to any of the drinking parties I attended in my youth, and only reinforce my relief that I never had a daughter to send away to any campus.

Its absolutely amazing to see how Mark Zuckerberg has become the youngest billionaire in history. Its pathetic to watch Zuckenberg's inability to show any truely human emotion or humanity on any scale. Will this movie affect Facebook on any grand scale? Hell no.  Take care of your farms and Mafia wars, Facebook will live on for decades.
