WTF?!: Facebook movie

I'm finding more and more things to write about in the pseudo-column of mine. Which is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that this becomes a more regular column. The bad thing is that Hollywood is going down the shitter more every day.

College kids and high schoolers alike love Facebook. It lets us network with classmates, but mostly stalk those that we find attractive. So what better to do then make a movie about it?! Aaron Sorkin, responsible for the hit television series The West Wing and the screenplay for A Few Good Men, has decided to use his literary talents to write a screenplay about the creation of Facebook through it's inventors. It's like the American dream. Guy eats a bunch of Dorito's and creates one of the biggest social networking websites around. Hell, even Tom on MySpace went to film school! Maybe he can make a movie about MySpace if the Facebook venture goes well. Sorkin has created a Facebook page to let it's users help in the process, so that he can better understand the website. There are articles detailing this all over the internet, but I found The Onion's coverage to be the most accurate and entertaining.

WTF world, why must you make me lose faith in this industry....

A facebook movie is a bad idea.
