I thought it was a very well made movie, and Fincher has a way with these kind of scripts that lack a traditional story arc that leaves them compelling anyway.

It is kinda funny that Sean Fanning's name in the movie is Sean Parker. Or was that character supposed to be someone else and to protect the identity they claimed he made "napster" instead of whatever he really made? Certainly Timberlake looks nothing like Fanning.

I think the movie is a bit kind to Zuckerberg, but then, it is pretty hard to make a movie focused on a single individual and not have it come out sympathetic. Unless that individual is, say, hitler or idi amin.

I hadn't heard of Parker until this movie. I thought it was all Fanning, too.

I still think Justin Frankel is the real badass programmer/hacker of the generation.

Yeah.. that struck to me too.. i thought Parker was his middle name or something?~

Sean Parker was President of Facebook.

That's really helpful.

In the movie when the girl says, "But Sean Parker founded Napster", in real life she would have said "Shawn Fanning".

Well, that explains that! Thanks.
