So, did anyone watch it?
I did, and well I wont spoil it, I just want to say that what is portrayed as Mark Zuckerberg looks more like Bill Gates to me, especially in the mannerisms, etc.
I am thinking of watching it as it seems nice. How about we organize a lebgeeks movie watching event and watch this movie?
My friend watched it. Honestly, I bet half of it is Hollywood. You know, to make sales.
I watched it too, its really good. But as the filmmakers said its sort of a dramatization of Zuckerberg's story.
It's a dramatisation of the real story, but it is being praised among geeks for accurately depicting computer usage. No beeping computers with ridiculous interfaces and obscure "hacking" references. You see real code, and real coding.

I think I'll skip the theatre and catch it on dvd later. Unless I go with a group.

I loved the movie ,

BUT :

The real Mark Zuckerberg said :

Speaking to an audience at Stanford University in California, Zuckerberg poured scorn on the suggestion that he was motivated mainly by opportunities for social climbing. In real life, he had been with current girlfriend Priscilla Chan since before the advent of Facebook, while in the film he is rejected by an invented character called Erica Albright, he said.

"The whole framing of the movie is I'm with this girl (who doesn't exist in real life) ... who dumps me ... which has happened in real life, a lot," he said to laughter from the audience. "And basically the framing is that the whole reason for making Facebook is because I wanted to get girls, or wanted to get into clubs.

Yep, for example, when Zuckerberg (I keep saying Zuchenberg... maybe because it sounds like Douchenberg... lol) "steals" photos from college websites, all the terminology he uses in his monologue is correct (wget, perl script...). I didn't really write down what he said to see if it's doable, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. What you said is true.

Finally a multimillion dollar movie where they bother doing that!
