The Stops

Musical musings, mostly.

22 October 2010

We just saw The Social Network.

As you've heard from everyone else who saw it already, the acting is great and the script is fantastic.   I love Aaron Sorkin's words and I'll probably go home tonight and watch Sports Night for the umpteenth time so I can hear more of them.  

The movie also reinforced some of the reasons I've never joined Facebook.  Then again, Sorkin summed up a smidgen of that on Colbert last month when he said, "Socializing on the Internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality."  (I'm not up for a discussion of Facebook's merits and evils right now.  Maybe I'll be down for that another time.)

But on an unexpected side note, within 10 minutes of leaving the theater, after discussing our impressions of the movie, we started chatting and out of that, had the framework for our idea for a website.  And then we sat out in a bar courtyard and sketched it out for an hour.  It's really too bad neither of us has a lot of time to make this happen (or is a programmer) 'cause we really like our idea.  We'll see where that goes, if anywhere.  It would be funny to launch a successful site and then share that the impetus for it was born after seeing that particular movie.
