on a personal note:
I don't have much to say about this endeavor, other than to say even I think it is relevant, and I'm usually always late on everything in this "now"-world of ours. I know virtually nothing of Facebook other than those three days I signed up for it, those eight minutes I spent tinkering with the settings, and those two minutes I spent stalking the country of Spain. Then, I deleted my account, and forgot, why, exactly, this web service turned some 20-nothing into the youngest billionair in history. I probably won't watch this film when it first hits theaters, but that's not to say I'm not interested to see what happens with it; so far, their marketing strategy in promoting this film has really impressed, with gradual trailers, and the first hint of the film came just two minutes after the project was greenlit, and the news broke on Facebook, where else, subsequently. Again, I know virtually nothing about why a gargantuan virtual nation of internetters find this service so revolutionary that it has come to this, but having the history compressed into two hours or so, failing to see such a compendium of it on MSNBC recently, I'll probably see this film sometime soon thereafter its premiere, and I don't do that very often at all (fed into the box-office machine of demand).
