Okay, this is not really a full movie review--I just decided that I want to use my blog to talk ramble about something a little bit longer than a status message update.
Yahoo! had a movie night last night, so we got to watch The Social Network at URL's Cafe in Sunnyvale.
My impression? It was REALLY good.
Some thoughts:
- The computer science parts were actually real and believable. VERY NICE
- WOW! It won 4 Golden Globe awards, including Best Picture.
- Also WOW! The screenplay is downloadable online, for free (for now...)
- Theatrically (or story-wise?), it was similar to "Pursuit of Happyness" and "Boiler Room," and since those were really good movies, I'm not surprised that this movie did so well.
- If that movie even partially portrayed Mark Zuckerberg accurately--well then, making an internet fortune isn't for everyone (it's not just luck and haphazard effort). Mark is genius and seriously wicked computer programmer.
- Haha, I want to try to implement something similar to Face Mash using an ELO ranking algorithm--something fun and entertaining, but less offensive.
- Also, I want to build a startup website now... something, anything that I'm passionate about...
