I'd like to point to everyone baffled by the existence of a movie about Facebook that this exists:

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3398066/

lovely faith cinema for the family channel isn't quite the same as a big-budget box office film that was nominated for eight Academy Awards.

I also watched a movie about how a black mom losing her husband turned to the power of prayer while cleaning out her shoe closet and it made a dinner date her husband was on turn super awkward and he didn't sleep with the other woman. (I was on a treadmill in a gym cinema room, don't judge me). There is a dumb movie no one has seen about everything. None of them excuse making a movie about facebook or it's dumb, bad founder.

It's about both. Let's not pretend it's not about Facebook. It absolutely uses it's origin story as it's foundation.

Anyway why would people pretend a movie about Facebook, one of the most prolific sites on the web that ushered in a new way we fundamentally communicate, is some flippant thing?

Facebook, whether you like it or not, is a Huge Goddamned Deal® to the world. It more than "deserves" a movie whatever that means.

Yeah, fair enough.

The best part is the end of that movie, with the Zuckerberg character looking at his friend request with some girl he did some pretty loving nasty poo poo to at the beginning of the movie.

As if the viewer is supposed to feel sorry for the little shithead.

I don't even think we're supposed to feel sorry for him. Him helplessly hitting F5 just like any other shithead ex-boyfriend drives home how fundamentally broken that entire world is. We live in a world in which the NSA built a Star Trek bridge replica, in which most of the staff, at some point, used their privileges to spy on their exes.

It also got Trent Reznor a loving Oscar. And despite being an overall good movie, it's still a movie about Facebook. I actually think is a good movie for its subject matter, because I'm a firm believer of the "You can make a good movie/book/series out of anything".

Not brutal enough. Sinclair media is going to make Fox News' damage look trivial because a lot of people trust local news far more than network news channels. I'd rather see them destroyed than Fox News if I had the choice.

I kind of wish Zuck would drop the pretense of running and just put as much money as he possibly can behind real politicians who support his most leftist causes.

Zuckerberg wants to flood the tech sector with cheap labor and sell every detail of people's lives (except his own) for profit while replacing public education with charter schools. He supports a basic income as much as Trump supports a robust healthcare system that serves everyone. Anyone who believes Zuckerberg is leftist in any way is deluding themselves.

Trump brags (???) that he has never seen Melania use the bathroom or leave to go use the bathroom in his presence.

Certainly, Trump is squeamish about bodily functions. He once bragged to Howard Stern that Melania seemed impervious to bathroom needs and he weirdly found it “disgusting” that Hillary took a bathroom break during a debate.

Amazon Prime seems to think my watching American Gods means I'm interested in Christian family movies, because it's not the best or most intuitive streaming service. All of them look mind- bogglingly awful, and there are so many of them. I wonder if being in faith movies is the equivalent of being in porn, where people move to Hollywood thinking they'll be movie stars, do one to pay the bills when they can't get other work, then get stuck

I no joke just looked up the imdb for "War Room" and the cast list doesn't even have character bios. In a world where the Boba Fett character's wiki page is longer than the WWII and Harry Potter has it's own Wiki, it's easy to arrive at the conclusion that nobody cares about this poo poo. I'm certain being in faith movies is only cred for being in more faith movies.

Pirates of Silicon Valley is actually a super good movie, you're assuming it's lovely because it's Made-for-TV and has Anthony Michael Hall and Noah Wyle? Perhaps you should actually view the film, or look at critical reception because it's both very well received but also likely an impetus for the creation of The Social Network. Either way, it's definitely the Microsoft movie you so desperately think we're lacking.

Either way, you're way too worked up about the existence of a film that in no way conflicts with your views of Facebook and Zuckerberg.
