Seriously, why would anyone want to go see a movie about Facebook? Although bigger duds have come out of Hollywood before…

Ha ha. I admit that the free popcorn may sway me too but it’ll have to be a large!

When will Hollywood learn? They are probably going to spice the movie up with some hot bodies and typical college behaviour. Well according to Hollywood that is. Hormones! Hormones! Hormones! That is the only reason I would go watch it. Oh…and if they throw in free popcorn.

I agree, Karl. I think it’s a bad basis for a movie. People want alien robots and explosions when they go to the cinema, not ‘Facebook’. They go on the internet for that. Having said that, from what I’ve seen at the cinema recently, it seems Hollywood really needs to clamp down on quality control. I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie that was really well thought out. Anyway, I digress…

This is another case of Hollywood trying to capitalise on a popular Internet phenomenon. “You Got Mail” was the first attempt that I can recall, and look how poorly that turned out.
