I am debating actually watching this movie. There is nothing I despise more online than facebook, or people that are constantly posting their day to day activities that no one should give a shit about on facebook. "So tired"...who cares..."What a long day" its the same amount of hours everyday..."wish i could go on a vacation" we all do. It annoys me to no end how self absorbed people are on there.

But i would doubt the movie has much to do with the stuff that annoys me...anyway, is it worth watching?

watch the movie and determine it yourself

i heard it's actually a decent movie...

i of course thought it was gonna be a shitty one...

i think the movie is more less about creating it and how it came about.

I'm on Facebook to keep up with old friends, so guess that makes me self-absorbed. As for the movie, I refused to watch it b/c thought it was going to be gay. Finally watched it with the old lady and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't great, but was pretty interesting learning a little more about it.

yes, watch it. It's two hours of your life. It's not like you have to put in a lot of time to watch it.

It's pretty edgy actually, I liked it.

The score is fantastic too, thanks to Trent Reznor.

thanks for the enlightenment, there is only a million threads on this movie section of covers talking about specific movies and their quality. kind of like a heads up if the movie is overrated or not. i guess me asking makes me like the same sex. well said d unit.
