The Social Network (social reality at its best)


Saw this movie Saturday night. Fell in love with it after the first scene. I don’t know Mark Zuckerberg from Adam and Eve, but after watching that film, I feel closer to him than some of the people I hang out with. The movie was A+ for me guys. It had expertly drawn characters, witty dialogue, and a plot that you had no choice but to pay attention to. Jesse Eisenberg displayed wonderful acting ability as the famed Mark Zuckerberg. I couldn’t have asked for a better Saturday date night Movie. I’m recommending it to all of my friends and anybody who happens to read this blog. Below, is my fav quote from the movie (or one of because there were so many!).
Facebook Lawyer: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
Facebook Lawyer: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at the lawyer] What?
Facebook Lawyer: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don’t want to purjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Facebook Lawyer: Okay - no. You don’t think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there’s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
[pauses]
Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
