He's a writing diety!
Oh lord by terry1978	Aug 27th, 2008 09:25:16 PM
This actually upsets me, considering what Facebook has become.
I might see it... by jrb	Aug 27th, 2008 09:31:31 PM
As long as it shows how that douche bag "founder" stole the idea for Facebook from another group of guys who hired him to write the code for their social networking site.

Wow a movie about facebook... by crazybubba	Aug 27th, 2008 09:41:12 PM
I heard Scorsee gonna in talks to do a movie about Spamming and DiCaprio's gonna put on 100lbs to play the very first douchebag sitting in his momma's basement who e-mailed someone an ad about erectile dysfunction.
He is perfect for this... by DanielKurland	Aug 27th, 2008 09:51:44 PM
I think he could make this really interesting. Just get him back to TV.
ummmmm. by DigitalBeachWar	Aug 27th, 2008 09:54:51 PM

this is gross. Anyone involved in this project should be ashamed as I feel right now for posting about it.

wtf? I wanted a movie about fucking Google. What the hell is this?
This'll end up next to the Friendster and MySpace movies. by JediRob	Aug 27th, 2008 10:16:54 PM
They have both been in various stages of development, only to be shelved due to the next big thing. Hollywood moves too damn slow to keep up with technology before it becomes passe.
~~~coming soon... "MYSPACE BEGINS"!~~~ by The Marquis de Side 3	Aug 27th, 2008 10:29:24 PM
this will be the biggest blockbuster since "PARTY LINE: THE MOVIE", more popular than "iPHONE AND THE CRYSTAL SKULL" and sexier than "I'M-A-FUCKING-YUPPIE-WITH-TRA SHY-SLUTS-AND-COKE-HEAD-DOUCHE BAGS-IN-A-MORALLY-AMBIGUOUS-GO DLESS-WORLD-AND-I'M-INDIFFEREN T-TO-STARVING-CHILDREN-AND-HOM ELESS-BUT-I-WILL-SHAKE-YOUR-HA ND-AND-YES-LET'S-SWAP-PROFILES -ON-OUR-FRIENDS-AND-BLOG-GOSSI P".

AARON SORKIN by justanothermoviefan	Aug 28th, 2008 12:16:29 AM
Amazing! Just an absolutely gifted writer. But this project seems kinda dumb
HACK! by jimmy_009	Aug 28th, 2008 12:24:14 AM
Aaron Sorkin is a hack of the most annoying variety.
Strangest In-Development Story In A While by psychedelic	Aug 28th, 2008 01:17:51 AM
It seems like such an odd random choice, especially for a gifted talent like Sorkin. I agree with D.Vader; a movie about Napster would be far more interesting.

is Facebook supposed to be bigger than Myspace? by TheSeeker7	Aug 28th, 2008 02:48:58 AM
I'm not really big on either one, actually, but now having used both, I find myspace INFINITELY more user-friendly. The first time I saw someone's full profile page on Facebook, it looked like a spambot threw up all over a blank page. I didn't even understand what half the shit was supposed to be. At least with myspace, though some pages can still be overcrowded, pretty much all of the aspects of it are fairly self-explanatory. I find this lawsuit kind of interesting though. I mean, let's be honest, how is this a revolutionary idea? I could easily see different groups of people having this idea in different variations at different times, all completely independent of each other. Creating a site where people can create a profile to interact with others, hello that's basically what places like Match.com already are, Facebook just isn't a site that's strictly about dating. It's a pretty universal idea.
Too Soon by Pop_aristocrat	Aug 28th, 2008 03:39:09 AM
I'm just not feelin' it. Facebook: The Movie doesn't belong with those other movie credits.
How we came up with this amazing idea... by pokadoo	Aug 28th, 2008 03:41:46 AM
We saw how well Myspace was doing, copied that and added lots of annoying applications. That's it. End of movie.
Sorkin's great but why's he bothering with this? by newc0253	Aug 28th, 2008 03:51:53 AM
Yes, he had something on broadway recently about some inventor guy but aren't there bigger, more worthy topics in the world than the creation of site devoted to poking your friends and erstwhile aquaintances?
Its Aaron Sorkin by Fortunesfool	Aug 28th, 2008 03:53:53 AM
This is the guy who made politics funny.
Google: The Movie by Stalin vs Predator	Aug 28th, 2008 04:18:49 AM
Ninety minutes of showing how to use Google, interspersed with talking heads starting at "We were just two poor students" and ending at "Enjoy Google". That's gold, Jerry! Right?

How about twitter? by MattInTheHat	Aug 28th, 2008 05:37:34 AM
A movie where every five seconds the star has to tell everyone what he's up to ("I just had a coffee", "I just took a dump")... until noone cares at all... and the server crashes. And the dude who designed the system leaves and bags it totally. And the server crashes again.
Or for that matter... by HercsShowerRadio	Aug 28th, 2008 05:37:56 AM
USB: USB Harder?
I've really wanted to make a movie about tetris by ironic_name	Aug 28th, 2008 07:26:11 AM

Great... by TopHat	Aug 28th, 2008 07:32:59 AM
...yet another movie about spoiled Ivy League brats getting props ...for being spoiled Ivy League brats. "Wow, kids who had been given every opportunity available to them SOMEHOW got into Harvard and then used their expensive Ivy League education to make a website where EVERYONE ELSE does all the work!!" These guys deserve to be on the same mantle as the douchebags who "thought up" Youtube.

'cause then we'd all KNOW who's responsible for all the brainless, arrogant little punk-asses cluttering up the internet with their mindless ramblings and pictures of their drunk-ass friends vacantly smiling whilst holding plastic cups of watered-down drinks and pushing their heads together to fit in the frame of some moron's camera phone.

The entire movie (not just the clip we're all familiar with) shown in reverse. In HD. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
What! by PaulW	Aug 28th, 2008 09:36:59 AM
If they really want to pack butts into theater seats they need to do Amazon.com - The Movie (Harry Knowles to provide financing).
FAIL: THE MOVIE by 69DUDE	Aug 28th, 2008 09:55:10 AM
Which will definitely fail, along with a Facebook movie.
Who the Fuck Cares... by Uridium	Aug 28th, 2008 10:11:26 AM
Really, a movie about Facebook??? Another great Hollywood idea... I am almost wishing now that they would just stick to making crap remakes of great films. WHats the finale going to be?? Hasbro/Mattel tell them to remove Scrabelicious.... there is a huge car chase and gunfight.... then the Facebook guys say "Ok"... The End?
So will the Facebook movie only take up 1/3 of the screen? by SpyGuy	Aug 28th, 2008 10:43:27 AM
And, of course, the video functionality will be complete shit, but you'll be able to put tags on everyone who appears in the movie.
404: The Movie... by Kid Z	Aug 28th, 2008 10:43:32 AM
...2 1/2 hours of a blank white screen with the error message in a non-descript, Helvetica font... hell, it's at least be better than Babylon AD. l33t: The Story of Leet... 90 minutes of nerd gibberish. Harry Knowles Actually Gets Married!... a Judd Apatow, R-rated romcom... the film unfortunately bombs abysmally as audiences all over America flood theatre floors with projectile vomit upon seeing the fat guy from Lost (playing Harry) semi-naked. MySpace Cadets® (hey, I'm copyrighting this one... you Hollywood suits actually want to produce something like this... ya gotta pay me!)... CGI animated feature about 3 addlebrained divas who spend all their time inanely blogging, posting stupid photos of themselves and emailing idiotic surveys to everyone they know... and accidentally involving themselves in international intrigue. It's for the kids, but adults can enjoy it too on a whole other level.
Mysapce for Snobs? by CaptainTripsUK	Aug 28th, 2008 11:08:31 AM
I have devised a great social networking exercise, what you do is go out and actually meet people.. Then when you poke them they bitchslap you upside the jaw for being so fucking socially repressed.
IAMJack's... by Kid Z	Aug 28th, 2008 11:42:26 AM
...Seriously dude, you've swallowed the brainwash like a $10 crackho swallows spooge. Do you really consider the random airheads, crappy bands and other assorted douches you "connect" with on Facebook or MySpace to be actual friends? You need to get out more... at least you'd get some fresh air and sunshine and have a real life instead of a half-assed simulation of one. Let the trolling begin....Now! Neva... as long as I get a cut.
Aaron Sorkin by SolidCPlus	Aug 28th, 2008 11:54:46 AM
I would watch a movie about Aaron Sorkin doing laundry, just put something on the screen as good as West Wing and Sports Night.

I love Aaron's work, he's easily one of the most talented writers in television, but this new idea sounds like a bore-fest! Come on Aaron, please do something else a bit more exciting.

Who was it who said.... by Darth Macchio	Aug 28th, 2008 01:33:45 PM
...one day, Johnny Depp will play Captain Crunch in a movie about a fucking cereal? I mean fuck! I heard Parker Bros. are doing movies for all of their most famous board games. "Monopoly, the Movie!"??!?! Fucking stab me in the heart with a tapered honey glazed pine cone. This is getting ridiculous...maybe there's a story there with these facebook clowns, maybe not (at least with MIT it would be geeks and not business nerds)...so maybe there is a story there, I don't know obviously but I can't imagine its gripping drama or "holy shit!!" drama like 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' (which was quite good actually) but a facebook movie? Shit, that napster douchebag has got to have a more interesting story right? Courtroom drama and Metallica's asshat drummer loosing his fucking mind in front of everybody in court? No, Facebook. Now that's drama! The home of nothing whatsoever. Now that I think about it, I'm not surprised. I wonder who will play Snap, Crackle, and Pop when the Rice Krispies movie comes out? I'm thinking the creepy pastor kid from 'There will be Blood' for Snap as he always seemed like an asshole (Snap, not the creepy preacher kid, he's just an actor). Maybe a girl can play Crackle so why not one of those country music has-beens progeny? Ciley/miley whatsherface? And of course...Shia LaBouwhemith for Pop. Morgan Freeman as the Cream of Wheat guy, Gandolfini for Chef Boy-ar-dee, Bill Nighy as the Quaker Oats guy? Nah..Nighy's aweseome-ness is supreme and untouchable...maybe William Hurt? Hugo Weaving as the Burger King. We know he can emote from behind a mask as 'V'...make it so!

that's who they should be making a fucking film about. whoever it was to take this new technology and fill it with porn. think about it - if just 5% of everyone who has had a good wank over some porn they have found online said "yeah, i will pay $$$ to go see a film about those who had the vision to make available images to inspire masturbation", Titanic's BO record would be fucked.

seeing as how Lars is a giant ass cake and most people hate on Shia fierce. Maybe Tom Cruise? There both "little people" who scream and freak out a lot. I still can't believe that redhead hottie from Devil's Advocate married that asscheese mnaster Lars Ulrich (the douchebag who had to record 'Fight Fire with Fire' at half speed cause he couldn't play it fast enough under the songs actual bpm! asshole!)

Seriously..look at the topic recently posted..Guitar Hero has a director..Disaster Movie actually got made..and then THIS..Sorkin must be back on coke and lacing it with PCP and meth.
