On the one hand, this whole affair makes me cringe. On the other hand, Aaron Sorkin does good stuff. |
So basically it's an even stupider and worse version of that movie about the MIT poker kids. |

I guess. It's a pretty abstract movie. They tried to make the MIT poker one into some weird thing where the professor/adviser turned on them. I wonder who the villain of the Facebook movie is...just all the people that made Facebook?
I just don't see how this is a movie. There's this book called Moneyball which revolutionized/detailed the revolution of using advanced statistics for running a baseball franchise, and how to win without spending Red Sox/Yankees money. Somehow that was going to be a movie with Brad Pitt and directed by Steven Soderbergh, but the studio ended up pulling out a few days before filming started. How is that a movie? I don't get any of these three films. These should just be documentaries, not weird drama things. |

Myspace will be the villain.

Actually, that's exactly the movie I thought of when I read that article. So the answer is yes. Maybe they'll make Harvard the villain. |
