"I was watching The Social Network and realized the events of the film (the founding of Facebook) occurred 20 years ago. Even though obviously things were different, the general atmosphere, vernacular, cultural vibes, etc didn't seem hugely different from today."

"I honestly felt like I was watching a cross between The Social Network and Billions with characters in Bicorne hats."

"Most ambitious people have seen "The Social Network" by this point in 2012. "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A BILLION!", replied Justin Timberlake turned Sean Parker. The movie made every mid level executive try to become the next Mark Zuckerberg."

"As hideous as that vision seems in hindsight, it was earnest and optimistic—they believed that with enough effort, a great future was both achievable and worth striving for. The Social Network, The Avengers, Parks and Rec, Harry Potter."
