face the face

Reading the coverage of “The Social Network” has made two things apparent to me:

1. No amount of effusively positive reviews - hell, not even an effectively infinite number of them - is enough to make me even slightly interested in watching a movie about Mark Zuckerberg’s journey from douchebag Harvard student to douchebag baby billionaire.

Then again, there's Jonmon.

Right. So obviously we need a http://thisisindexed.com/ graph with the X axis being money and the Y axis being morals/propriety, with three points:

1) lower right - Mark Zuckerberg (low morals, high money)
2) upper middle - Jesse Vincent (high morals, medium $$)
3) lower left - Jonmon (low morals, low money)

As for the original post, the lesson is "money isn't everything". If I had to turn into one of Jesse or Mark, I'd pick Jesse.

Then again I live (and work with others) by the motto "Don't be a douche".

They're the children of people who thought it made sense to play computer golf games. The apple don't fall far from the tree, now does it?

I want to see the movie, but only because I peripherally know Jesse Eisenberg (he's a friend of a friend, and we've met and talked a few times) and it's blowing my mind to see his face plastered all over the Universe. I've enjoyed his other movies, so I want to support him in this one too.

Once again you've manged to say what I haven't quite been able to put into words.
