Mark Zuckerberg Takes Staff to See 'Social Network'

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 7th 2010 03:00PM

Mark Zuckerberg has said he didn't want to see 'The Social Network,' the hit movie about the creation of Facebook, but it seems he's had a change of heart.

Although David FIncher's movie is highly critical of Zuckerberg's beginnings, the Facebook CEO treated it like a celebration and took all of his staffers to go see it last Friday, and then drank apple martinis afterwards like Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg's characters do in their first meeting, UsMagazine.com confirmed.

"To celebrate a period of intense activity at Facebook, we decided to go to the movies," a Facebook rep told the magazine. "We thought this particular movie might be amusing."

In an interview in July, Diane Sawyer asked Zuckerberg if he was going to see the movie, and he wasn't as enthusiastic back then. However, Zuckerberg has spent the past couple of weeks generating positive headlines, like appearing on Oprah, The Simpsons and donating $100 million to the Newark educational system.

In a recent interview with CNN after the release of the movie, Zuckerberg was still dismissive.

"We build products that 500 million people see," Zuckerberg said. "If 5 million people see a movie, it doesn't really matter that much."

I think it's terrific. I saw the movie this weekend and gained a whole new respect for him. I might even sign back up for a Facebook account. ;)

Which part to you have more respect for? The stealing or just being a generally anti-social person?

oh great article Decriminalize possession. Our prisons are bursting with drug users and small time pushers. The war on drugs is a miserable and a total failure. Drugs are relatively cheap and readily available. This wouldn't change even had they thrown this psuedo celebrity in jail for twenty years.,My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c' oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it

So did "The Perfect Storm" when it first came out and it turned out to be almost half a movie. After the first half you couldn't see anythng much on the screen except for brief flashes of light with a lot of shouting, screaming, ocean wave noses, and occasional motor noises. I'm so glad I didn't spend money to see it but waited for it to show up on TV.

In social network it seems like zuckerberg may have some type of mental disorder- the way he speaks - is this a true portrait of how he speaks in reality and if so does anyone know if he has a form of autism?
