Social network

............the movie.

Or how the media once again running the capitalists, psuedo/wannabe pedophiles errand.

I will explain this on what I´m trying to tell you. But first things first.

Social network has been the talk of the big cinematic world for over 1/2 year now. Why is that? Have I seen the movie in the first place?
Haven´t seen it and will Not do so.

Why watch a movie that tells how a internet phenom (I´m willing to admit that anyway) was created; Facebook. Ain´t a user of it, have no friends - atleast to my knowledge, that uses it. It´s fair to say we have better things to do.

So the movie tells the story of a computer geek who started facebook and he also has a proantagonist (the enemy later on started Napster) and his day to day struggle..I guess.
I have wondered why this movie has been hyped so much, well when a big chance of collecting some more cash, ofcourse some people will promote it beyond insanity.

Why not make a big block buster movie on milk?
Ain´t talking about Harvey Milk (the homosexual politician in San Fransisco - the Sean Penn movie). I´m talking about milk, that comes directly from cows. Everyone in the western (modernised"?") world has tasted it, we use it in our everyday life more or less. But somehow it wouldn´t be interresting to make a movie about.

Other big hypes the last year in the cinema/DVD world?
And here is the pedophile part you sneaky b*sterds!

In a movie that has been praised as one of the last 10 years best movies, mostly from middleage male movie reviewers (actually I think I´m the only one who have the guts to hate it). In the movie a, at the time, 11 year old female shows her pussy. Sure the males gonna shout wild and hype the movie.
The title of the movie? Let the right one in.

Another big block buster hit was also a movie that starred a 11 year old girl, whom had a scene where she was dressed in a short skirt, long socks, white shirt, pigtails and had a confused look on her face. The ultimate lolita, the movie was ofcourse; Kick ass.

Now, it seems like the movie industry more willingly wanna portray young - and I Do mean Young - girls in speculative scenes. After all, the promo pictures of Kick ass was more or less all about hit girl posing in the outfit (as described above) with a big gun in her hand.

But it´s all entertainment someone says.
Sure I can buy that. Did I like the movies? No, do I think it´s ok that young girls are portrayed as this? Well Shirley Temple wasn´t exactly 20 when she had her breakthrough, neither was Elisabeth Taylor, nor Natalie Portman and the list goes on and on ... and yes I ain´t ashamed to tell the truth that Jessie Pham (also 11 - maby even 12 - at the time) was AMAZING in Martyrs. Or that Erica Scott also was phenomenal in Martyrs. Or that Sasisa Jindamanee was Amazing in Kerd ma lui, in Somtum aswell. Now that is the only young girl whom should been considered to have the nickname Kick (ass)girl.

So will social network become a monster hit and cash in even more billions? Sure why not. And meanwhile I´d be drinking some milk and writing a script about a 11 year girl named Anaïs, the title of the movie? Voyerisme.
And that ain´t about whatever you may fantasize about. It ain´t either a entertaining movie, you will understand when you see it.

*****************************************************************
Note.
Let the right one in Gets in a scale 1-10 a solid 1 1/2.
Kick ass gets 3 (out of 10).
Voyerisme, however will have a 10.
Remember that is entertainment.
