What is Zuckerberg deleted Facebook? How would we interact? The Social Network 2 looks into it.

It is not often that a movie is so offensively bad that it causes actual physical illness, yet this is the exact reaction one can expect from GregPike.ca. The central idea of the movie revolves around the current fad that is the internet (or ‘the web’ as it’s known to younger people).

The film follows the exploits of a young internet page-maker, Greg Pike, and the obstacles he faces in his attempt to build the city’s most expansive web site for the gifted procrastinator.

The worst part is this Greg Pike actually thinks people give a damn about his website.

The audience is meant to really get behind the protagonist but the actor does such a terrible job of playing Greg Pike that one can’t help but dislike the guy.

It’s clear the actor playing Greg Pike has no real sense of the role he’s playing. This is a role that would have been much better served by someone such as Topher Grace or Michael Cera (or that other kid that plays the roles Michael Cera isn’t able to fit in… Jessie something-or-other).

I can honestly say I would not be friends with this type of person in real life.

The rest of the cast does their best with what they are given, but one bright spot shines above the rest. The work of Mark Webber in this film is inspirational. Playing the cocky JT character, Webber really steals the movie. I’d really like to see this guy in some type of action or even buddy-cop film… perhaps with some form of facial hair?

I won’t go so far as to say GregPike.ca has destroyed my faith in movies but from now on, I’ll stick to the book version.

Yes. That’s how bad it is. I’m joining a book club.

I remember in Facebook’s early years, a friend of mine, Ian, told me about it and I signed up. He told me how huge social networking was going to become. I actively disagreed. I didn’t see the value.

Back then, I had 2 friends on Facebook for almost two years. No one was using it. And it wasn’t that interesting. I logged in every day and my news feed never changed. Facebook was like a failed Hi5 (which apparently still exists).

It didn’t have all the capabilities or applications it does today and Mark Zuckerberg barely had any “friends”, but then something happened. It exploded over night and within a very short period of time I found myself with hundreds of friends.

Then people who I knew who couldn’t tell the difference between a browser and CD-ROM were on Facebook, like my mother.

Here we are today. Facebook has become one of the largest, most popular websites on the internet rivaling even Google for daily visitation.

Now their making a movie about the creator’s story.
