Who's watching the Academy Awards tonight? My prediction: Social Network sweeps awards, but doesn't win best actor (That will go to Colin Firth; I think Eisenburg should win, but that won't happen).
I don't care because the world in general has horrible taste in movies and The Social Network pretty much proves my point. "hurr movie about my god faecbook must watch 10/10"
...but, again, it's not about Facebook. The film is popular because of its well-written script, excellent acting, and superb cinematography (Not to mention its glorious soundtrack). There's a thread I want you to read through; imagine, in this thread, that you're Phobos-Romulus. Read through the entire thing.
I'm posting this here because everything I could say in response to you has already been said, and far better. In short, you're missing out on a movie that you could potentially enjoy for either no reason at all or faulty reasons ("It's a facebook movie").
It doesn't really matter how good it is. The ONLY thing I've ever heard about it from anyone was "yay facebook", it's popular for the same reason Twilight is popular. Retards love that shit so matter how good or bad it is. But if you say it's genuinely good then I won't say you're lying.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say they like the movie because "lol it's facebook I relate to it." I don't think those people are smart enough to actually like the movie. I have heard countless people praise it for being a beautiful drama about friendship and betrayal, though (Which is a far more accurate description than "Facebook: The Movie").
Also, Shadoo, seeing as the film is fictionalized enough as it is, they could've just replaced the name of the website in the film with "FriendSite," or something, and it still would've been the same film (Yet it would be lacking the sole element you're not interested in it for).
The Social Network was more about anti-social college kid starts a billion dollar company. Although it would not have been as successful if it wasn't sort of based on a true story.
It was very good, but I don't think it gets best picture. I would reserve best picture for movies that do something really different and/or have a strong emotional impact on it's viewers.
It's either going to be King's Speech or Social Network. One group of film buffs is going to go in to extreme nerdrage no matter who wins. Because Oscars are sports.
Calling it now.

Shadoo confirmed for idiot/troll.
