The Social Network: The Making of a Billionaire

FaceBook: The Social Network

The Social Network is now on my official list of ten all-time best business films. While compiling the original list years ago, I discovered that it was daunting task. Good business movies are as rare as hen's teeth.

I just came across the best review of The Social Network to date and I have read scores of them.

It's an Indian site located in Delphi.

Speaking of The Social Network, my two favorite scenes in a film loaded with them are the following:

Just before Mark Zuckerberg begins to build Facemash, he cracks his knuckles and wiggles his fingers to loosen them up while uttering the unforgettable line, "Let the hacking begin!"

The other scene is where he sets a lawyer straight, "The Winklevii aren't suing me for IP theft. They are suing me because for the first time in their lives things didn't work out the way they were supposed to for them."

My only complaint is that we didn't get to see the scene where Mark meets a group of venture capitalists while dressed in pajamas and a bathrobe to deliver a personal message from Sean Parker.

I wonder if they shot that scene? It might be available as a deleted scene on the DVD?

The line I loved was his GF's. "Dating you is like dating a stairmaster."

I think Sean Parker or one of those Seans is starting up "Path". Similar to Facebook but smaller.
