Facebook was originally a way to connect with your grad class etc. Was there another reason?

    No Zuckerberg made it to browse through all of the hot women at his school with other men more efficiently.

    Facebook was conceived as a way to browse a web store of "female objects" easier.

    Google the history of Facebook. It's on the wiki. It's in the film.

    The film is called The Social Network.

    The soundtrack is by Nine Inch Nails.

    It was a good movie. Didn't pull any punches. (Though it could have punched harder)

    I saw it in theatre when it cost $4.25 Canadian.

    Get off my lawn.

    Everyone ever involved with facebook is an absolute cunt.

    Yeah I was going to recommend the film too, of course it is narrativized in many ways in the way big budget movies like this are, but I also think it does a better job than The Wolf Of Wallstreet at NOT making the villains unironically look cool at the end even though the takeaway is supposed to be that the villains are bad.

    This is also a decent list of stuff to check out.
