Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel - Page 78

Was Social Network billed as a "True Story" or a documentary (meant as an 'either' question, not an 'or')? It would appear to be much closer to reality than say, anything Michael Moore has ever put out.

I like this line from mousepod

There are 2 sides to every story and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Information out of the lawsuits is certainly going to be more damning then information filtered through Zuckerberg and his talking heads.

I think the truth is somewhere between the movie and the article. But I won't be calling the move completely made up or complete truth when I wasn't privy to the actual discussions/happenings at that time.

I need to see The Social Network because my friend Kelly Thompson's art is on the walls.

BarTopDancer · 01-25-2011, 11:21 PM

But was her art on the specific walls in real life?

No, but it is on mine. Does that count?

My wife is going to give a very different review, but 300 accidentally ended up at the top of our Netflix queue and that has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Perhaps I'm a victim of self fulfilling prophecy as I watched it reluctantly, expecting to not like it, but it was worse than I expected. Seriously not a redeeming thing to say about it from my view.

I've been meaning to see 300 since it was in the theaters. Seeing it now, I just wish I had insisted on seeing it when it first came out on DVD, as it has lost a lot of oomph what with the billions of spoofs since then. Even so, I enjoyed it thoroughly. My only issue was that they said "Sparta" a billion times.

Major Husband Bonus Points for putting up with it. It's not often I ask him to sit through something we both know he will actively dislike. I'm not into RomComs or Costume Dramas or Sex in the City...but once in a while I need to see some popcorn-flick action.

Were your walls with that art on it in the movies or did any one of the main characters have an event portrayed in the movies in your home showing the art?

Only events that happened in real life should be portrayed in a quasi-fictional movie setting.

On JW Bear's recommendation of a few weeks ago, I watched 2008's 10,000 B.C. last night - purely to enjoy the yumminess of Steven Straight, who ironically brings out this Steven's gay like nobody's business.

It was kinda meh, but not really objectionable. Actionist, likable characters, yummy leading man - and I have to admit: Herds of Wooley Mammoths enslaved to help build the Pyramids was Bitchin' Cool.

I wouldn't actually say I recommended it.
