I know almost everybody my age loves the movie "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Now, I'm not saying I don't like it, in fact I think its a good movie. I don't think it's the greatest production of cinema to every be made, though. I don't "Fight Club" t-shirts, quote the movie all the time, say that it is an 'amazing movie' or 'awesome movie' whenever it even barely comes up in conversation. I don't try to live my life according to themes or action in the movie, I don't try and start my own fight clubs, and I don't own the DVD Directors Special addition of the movie which includes an actual bar of soap. I just like the movie.
However, there is one thing that I think would make it a much better film. Instead of trying to blowup credit card buildings and destroy the current financial network, I think they should have tried to blowup Facebook. Now there's a mission I can get behind. I hate how people don't have to interact personally anymore. Sometimes I think a person is awesome on Facebook but they suck in person, and vice versa. I hate thinking all I need to really know I can find by looking at a person's profile. But, you have to have a Facebook because if you don't, then you're really screwed because you're really out of the loop. Like for example, when people bitch about Facebook around you, you won't even know what they're talking about if you don't have your own Facebook, and then they'll hate you! I think I'm going to make a movie like 'Fight Club' but have it be with Facebook instead of Credit Card companies. I'll call it 'Type Club'! It will star Charlie Sheen instead of Edward Norton and Emilio Estevez instead of Brad Pitt. Martin Sheen will somehow have a small part as the infamous yet secretive Facebook emperor. Christopher Walken is his righthand man and his son and heir who he constantly abuses is William H. Macy. There is also a cameo by James Taylor. I don't know why.
Also, I hate how some people check their facebook every 20 seconds and other check it every 20 days. And forsome reason on Facebook it's not rude to not respond to people's messages or wall posts. If I had called you and spoken to you I garunteed you would have responded to me. Unless you are a mute. Facebook is the steroids of communication; it makes things easier for the user and only jerks who can't function properly in civilized society (and Cameron) use it.
Note: I have the same opinion about DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online), but who plays that anymore? A bunch of losers! Am I right? All they do is play a crappier version of WOW so they can act like they're not as pathetic as them, when in reality they are much more pathetic.

the stuff about not responding really pisses me off. Especially if it's something that actively requires a response.
Like, lately, I've been trying to organize an event in a group. So I started out just posting a discussion on "who's interested in doing this?" Like 8 out of the 24 in the group responded and said they would, and a few others told me in person. I also assume that most people don't check the group that often, so this level of interest seemed reasonable.
I then sent out a message to the group (so I know everyone, including the people that already told me they were interested, go it) and said "ok, enough people are interested to plan on this. Check out the discussion in the group and tell me if this date works for you."
Since then (two days ago) ONE person has returned to the discussion to comment on the date (and she was saying she, and a few other people, had to do something on that date so couldn't make it.) So I said "how about this date"? And not even that girl responded again.
What the hell? Why would you state you're interested and then never go back? Or, if you got that message, why would you not go say something about the date?
If someone starts a thread on trying to do something, and invites me, I post a response immediately about whether I'm interested/can make it, and then I go back regularly to see what people are saying about it because, you know, I thought we were TRYING TO FUCKING PLAN SOMETHING.
If I came up to someone in real life and said "hey, I was thinking about going bowling at like five, want to come?" And they just walked away, I would never ask that asshole to do anything again. And yet, it's common on Facebook. Just more proof that the internet is contributing to the dick-ifying of society.
Also, I've never liked Fight Club.
