you don't sell over 100,000 copies of a new adult romance novel without making a few enemies.

I'm still surprised how much I liked this stupid movie. 🤣

[nudrive]

ikr lmfao. not me recommending it to everyone like 'it's just a cute little movie!'

also sorry i did not realise those gifs were THAT huge...

[picturemegone]

Same. I'm shocked but pleasantly surprised. It has its flaws of course but it was adorable idc

[lovelylaura23]

The Social Network is so overrated... but it should've won best picture that year. Fuck the Academy and fuck Tom Hooper.

This gif is still the only thing of worth he's done.

[fernandocolunga]

Omg my geriatric ass remembers this gif making rounds ahahah

[nudrive]

Anyway I've never watched the social network so I have nothing else to add byee

[who_love]

lmaooo bye sis
watch it sometime though it's good I swear!

[lovelylaura23]

You didn't miss much, tbh.

(It's overrated)

(still should've won the oscars)

I watched it recently and I liked it a lot but it’s obviously very fictionalized lol

Like they never mention that Mark Zuckerberg had a serious girlfriend the entire time the movie takes place lol (who is now his wife).
But it’s good, I recommend it!

Just here to say that I hate RPF with the fire of a thousand suns. Even movies that are about real people who are currently alive can be weird to me sometimes, although I did enjoy The Social Network.

[ionadelfina]

I agree. I don't know how people don't feel like creeps writing fanfic about real, living, breathing people.

[meow_tan]

What makes rpf different morally from a movie like the social network though…

[ginainabottle]

TSN is based on actual facts? Sure they changed a fair amount of things, if memory serves me right, but it's not Jeanine's wet dream about two real people she wants to see fucking, it's shit that went down with a Hollywood touch.

[who_love]

I agree with her saying it's not based on an Andrew/Jesse royal AU but just by the same author.
I've been going through my TSN tumblr tag while watching and god I was so depressed at the time but it obviously gave me such joy lol I literally lived for the award shows and community I found on there :')

[eisenberries]

this movie made me care about awards season lol
