The Social Network (2010)


I finally got around to watching this on DVD. I particularly enjoyed the scene that introduced Sean Parker: quoting quotes at IMDB

Amy: You don't know my name, do you?
Sean Parker: Is it Stanford?
Amy: [playfully] I should just kick your ass! How do you go to a party and you meet somebody...
Sean: [Cutting her off] Amelia Ritter, but you prefer Amy. You're from Orinda. Your father's in commercial real estate, and your mother's ten years sober.

Imdb leaves out the bit where Amy, the French major, asks the self-described "entrepreneur" what he "preneurs". It also leaves out that Sean was reading "Stanford" off the ass of her underwear when he answers that first question. Does Stanford really sell asswriting panties?

Final thought: has no regrets over not using livejournal or facebook after watching that
