Kill Me Now....

...no. A million no's. He must be a sandwich short of a picnic

...it's not MySpace: The Movie, or Bebo: The Movie.

To me, Facebook always seems the social network of choice for the educated and less-chavvy members of Britian's population.

If we had MySpace: The Movie, it'd be full of adverts, dreadfully slow, and require a major design revamp. Imagine the interviews with real users (chavs)!

And Bebo: The Movie would be full of broken links and depressed members.

Anyone up for a Twitter movie?

Proof, were it needed, that Hollywood is Out Of Ideas.

Pass me the scissors, I'm cutting up my Cineworld Unlimited card...

Shouldn't "how" actually read "why" in this case.

Facebook - The Movie?

No.

Just NO!

“my grandmother has more internet savvy than I do”

I have heard this time and time again; a writer decides to write about a computer-related technical subject, and then takes pains to point out that he or she knows nothing about the technology. It’s an affectation, designed to distance the writer from the subject; in the writer’s mind, computer technology and the internet are trivial wastes of space for spotty autistic teenage masturbators and overweight middle-aged women of the kind who infest Icanhascheezburger with their over-perfumed stench. Useless over-made-up powder-puff blobs of grease who draw love hearts over the letter i.

John Peel was a great DJ because he loved the music; Sam Raimi is a great director because he loves great trash, and is not embarrassed by this; Tenacious D are more than just funny swearing because they are genuinely awed by the Power of Rock. This Sorkin chap does not love his audience, or his subject. Clearly this Facebook project will not be touched by greatness, it will be a short soap opera with only a tenuous connection to the website or indeed the internet in general. The thought of it makes me want to think of something else.

'Sorkin admits the page was actually created by his researcher "because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years", and further confesses: "I honestly don't know how this works."'

Is it Sony's internal mission statement to royally fk everything they touch or do they just do it by accident?

Paris, because she seems to share Sony's desire to fk everything she touches

Warning: Low Flying Fire & Brimstone.

Mr. Sorkin, I have a question; "You're crazy."

How can one think it is a good idea to make a movie about something you know nothing? There are words for that sort of behaviour.

...could something that futile be given any credibility whatsoever!

Paris blatantly because it was originally her idea!

if they're seriously thinking of making this!!!

Surely you mean: Kill Me Now ... bitch.

On the one hand, it's got to be better than the Doom/Mortal Kombat style movies, but on the other I find it hard to see how much worse it could be.

... Shit makes money out of crap.

i'll shoot you, you shoot me. better yet, lets just shoot the moron at Sony who had this brightspark idea

Paris, because even she is'nt this dumb

I'm surprised, El Reg...

I was expecting "They're writing a movie about me... bitch"

Things must be really bad in hollywood land if they are thinking about this crap...

I couldn't imagine anything more frackin' boring. Are these people really that hard up for material?

Maybe we'll get "SCO: the series" - will jump the shark during the pilot but go on for another 5 years, constantly changing scriptwriters and the rights to it being sold on to other studios after each season.

Or "Blair Witch III: The Cult of Wikipedia"? Actually, come to think of it that would have made a good X-Files episode...

Personally I'm waiting for "ICanHasCheezburger - the Rise and Fall of Ceiling Cat" starring Danny John-Jules, but that's just me. And it's not even Friday yet.

Mine's the coat lurking at the bottom of the TV script barrel.

I really really hope this catches on. I can't wait for 'MyFirstSexTeacher - the movie'.

FYI - http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Whoops!.aspx

Yeah I know. Mine's the one with the overpriced popcorn and fizzy drinks in the pocket.

"by way of research he's waded straight in with a group page down at the social networking website."

My first thought? Don't let a social networking site spoil your movie.

...to see the truly vomit inducing trailer that will precede the movie's release. Complete with voice over work from that guy who always does these things and sounds like he smokes five packs of B&H silver a day, with the rapper left on.

With a D20 and small grid made in Excel I will do what Hollywood cannot:

1. Flying Zombies attack a Giant Space Station with A tonsillitis Epidemic.

2. Justified Space Mutants Quell a loving Door Mouse without a hope.

3. A Heroic knight Survives with Semi intelligent Algi in a world gone madde.

I would rather watch/direct all of the above than this.

the best answer for this would be:

BOFH - The Movie (18)

Any suggestions for lead and for the PFY...

Lady, (sir? We never know after the Ashlee era)

you are full of win.

Paris...

because her movies also generally go straight-to-dvd.

show hollywood's lack of hummus.

The new orange one showing in cinemas? Rob Lowe pitching a film that's not only a remake.. but a remake of a film from 30 years ago. The actors in it aren't even dead yet!

Is it unwitting satire? A sad testimony?

Oh and how is someone unfamiliar with something meant to write up a story about it?

Some guy does stuff with ajax, gets paid too much money for it, adds bitch on to sentences and realises he can't make money back from it. The end.

Dull!

Make Hackers 3

[BOFH - the movie]

"Any suggestions for lead and for the PFY..."

Al Pacino as the BOFH, with Richard Ayoade (Moss from 'The IT Crowd') as the PFY.

"Say hello to my little friend ..." <KZEEEERT!> :-)

Even as a Yankee, I'd pick: Simon Pegg (surely no introduction needed) and possibly Mackenzie Crook (The Office).

As an aside: Imagine, for the moment: Scotty with phaser set to <KZEEEEEEERT!>

For "BOFH: the Movie", cast Samuel L. Jackson as BOFH, Jack Black as the PFY, Danny DeVito as the PHB, and Helen Mirren as PFY's mum.

Mine's got the gaffers tape in the pocket.

Straight to DVD.

I doubt this grace the silver screen for long enough for anyone to stumble upon it.

I am looking forward to the broadway production of "Facebook the musical"

All you people reacting in horror/disbelief, this'll be great if (bear with me here)...

If it's a MUSICAL! (Put down that noose and listen!)

Look back over the past Hollywood train wrecks that became cult classics Either they were were musicals, and/or touched by direction so misguided, or delved into subject matter so insipid/ banal, it became divine!

Here we already have two out of the three prerequisites for cult trash magic, so making it a musical will be the trifecta that will make this movie the most loved/hated cult treasure of all time!

Now pardon me while I execute Plan Nine and dance the time warp. while Mars forges my destiny!

(Props to those that name the three treasures referenced.)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaa...argh!

Don't bother killing me I am already DEAD!
