I don’t speak fluent Geek, but I speak it enough to know that if David Fincher is directing it and Aaron Sorkin is writing it, you’re going to be over the moon about it. ¬†But they can play coy, if that’s how they keep their geek cred. ¬†¬†This Mashable Post points us to an answer given by Moskovitz on Quora, which¬†which is described by Mashable as a former Facebook employees page – but really, they’re more than just former FB employees – these are the people who will soon rule the world).
Moskovitz:
It is interesting to see my past rewritten in a way that emphasizes things that didn’t matter (like the Winklevosses, who I’ve still never even met and had no part in the work we did to create the site over the past 6 years) and leaves out things that really did (like the many other people in our lives at the time, who supported us in innumerable ways). Other than that, it’s just cool to see a dramatization of history. A lot of exciting things happened in 2004, but mostly we just worked a lot and stressed out about things; the version in the trailer seems a lot more exciting, so I’m just going to choose to remember that we drank ourselves silly and had a lot of sex with coeds.
I’m very curious to see how Mark turns out in the end – the plot of the book/script unabashedly attack him, but I actually felt like a lot of his positive qualities come out truthfully in the trailer (soundtrack aside). At the end of the day, they cannot help but portray him as the driven, forward-thinking genius that he is. And the Ad Board *does* owe him some recognition, dammit.
That Quora site is interesting. ¬†It also has a link to a post revealing who owns what and how much of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg is the clear winner, owning 24%, or 5.3 billion. ¬†Oh and if you want to feel really old and out of touch, or else just plain stupid, check out Quora’s team. Is it too late to go back to college?
