Screen Grab

摘要

Gentlemen: My Google Reader informs me that you two are teaming up to write and direct a making-of-Facebook story (working title: The Social Network). While I'm arntad offended I wasn't notified through more formal channels-I am, after all, a member of Facebook and therefore entitled to give notes-I offer my heartiest congratulations. Aaron, I have no idea how you pulled off that script: Mark Zuckerberg isn't exactly known for rapid badinage, and Facebook, as concept, resists the bricks-and-mortar convention of hallway "walk-and-talks." (Wish you'd landed the Doom movie, A-Sorks-nothing but hallways in that one! VeryrnWest Wing.) On the other hand, a movie about Ivy League twerps putting their yearbook online, suing each other over boilerplate code, and ultimately dispatching a hapless foe (MySpace) sounds like a good flick for you to helm, Finchy. Lemme guess the twist: Those Nordic twins with the runaway pituitaries still litigating for a share of Facebucks? They're not real, right? They're Zuckerberg's Doublemint version of Tyler Dur-den-chips off the ol' id.
