Hmm...alright first off, I think I need apologize...I was in a very very very bad/spiteful mood last night, reasons for which include alot of things but among them a 30 minute argument with a facebook prophet bringing the light of civilization the heathens of the world. (I'm talking about their view on the movie, I do have a facebook, I don't need to be sold on it).
Secondly...now that I'm in a cooler head.
@Dorkman:
I did/do know that Mark Zuckerberg/facebook had nothing to do with the movie, I think that's one of the driving factors that make me not want to see this movie. It just seems like a particularly good example of the way hollywood seems intent on screwing with everything.
This idea of making a film about something that only came into existence not even 10 years ago and then to try and sell it as the "true" story of the conception of it (I'm not saying it is, I'm saying that every single marketing element I saw, was trying to convince me that this is a movie about the true way facebook got started) without even having the ACTUAL people involved in the making of it, but more than that seeing the actual people speak out against the portrayal of the events.
Everything about this movie seems wrong and disgusting.
So Dorkman that's where this movie differs from those you listed. The fact that it's advertising that it's a true depiction of events that happened a very very short time ago comparatively, when everything else I know about the movie screams that that can't be true.
PS. My reference to the pop culture machine was misused. What I meant was this fad of movies being made solely about pop culture icons in an attempt to make as much money of it while they can without even a thought to whether or not it's an idea worth making a movie about.
And yes I fully understand that that has always been a thing in hollywood and always will be, so I guess I'm just using TSN as my milk carton to stand on and preach my message of the evils of hollywood to the crowds once again. I'll freely admit that.
