Socially Watching The Social Network

Well, that was fun.

It's a shame Michael Zuckerberg disputed the accuracy of his portrayal in "The Social Network". I'd have killed to be viewed as such a genius.

That being said, it sort of watered down the experience to learn that so much of the movie was only loosely based on actual events. It was a killer story.

I did hear a great piece of perspective from Zuckerberg himself regarding the motivation for "the facebook." He said that Hollywood can't help but dramatize a story because it can imagine so many things, but not what drives an imaginative person.

"Hollywood doesn't understand that sometimes, people just like building things," Zuckerberg said of his creation.

Hollywood, more specifically Aaron Sorkin, needed to make the genesis of Facebook about getting chicks, so to speak.

In any case, it was an interesting, if not documentary style, re-envisioning of Facebook's creation.
