Monday 11 October - Social networking


11.11pm, In Santa Maria with friends new and old. I'd been to the cinema to watch The Social Network (the film about Facebook) with my friend Bea (who I met in the queue for chicken at the park back in August: see here to remind yourself of the story!). About 20 of her work friends joined too, so it was fab to meet them and go for a beer afterwards.

The film was actually awesome... Not at all what I was expecting, but good all the same. Full of really funny, quick wit and some pretty hilarious acting from JT. The group was pretty split down the middle about whether they liked it or not, so go and see it and make your mind up for yourself. Then write about it on Facebook. Then write a status update about it. Then 'Like' it. Then go outside and meet your actual, real-life friends and talk about it.

  1. I've very curious to see this, especially since the real life character wanted nothing to do with it and called it a work of fiction.

  2. Really?! I guess I'm not that surprised, as he wasn't exactly portrayed in the best light! It was actually a really interesting tale of friendships, lost love and adolescent life as well as the story of what happened (or did not happen?) with the making of Facebook. If you're in Berlin, we went to the English showing at Babylon cinema in Kreuzberg. Cool cinema and quite cheap too.
