As a result of this news, The Masked Vigilante will be joining Facebook soon and befriending the great Aaron Sorkin. I'll see you out there.Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the Tom Hanks movie Charlie Wilson's War, has even opened an account on the site to aid his research.
Sorkin writes on his web page, "I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them as best I can. If anyone has any comments, I'm glad to listen."
The 47-year-old admits he doesn't understand Facebook, or "how I'm going to write the movie", so is relying on fans to help him.
He adds, "I have a fairly specific idea of what the first 15 pages of the screenplay will be and no idea what will happen on pages 16 through 130. I have very strong feelings about the internet and its effect on our national culture, but frankly those feelings are being countered by the sophistication, kindness, curiosity and wit of the posts in this site."
Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 and has more than 100 million users worldwide.

That's what they call Darren McFadden of the...the Raiders I think.
Drops the ball all the time.
And I thought you hated sports metaphors?
Shit. Good point. I do hate sports metaphors.
%^&#!!!!
I've never tried Facebook or Myspace or any of those. Not really interested in collecting a lot of "friends." It's great for people who like social networking, but I'm not all that social.
New topic.
Also, "The Dark Knight" has now reached a staggering $874.7 million worldwide, placing it at #13 in the all time money makers.
The top ten is littered with Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course sitting high above them all, is the piece of shit "Titanic".

I've enjoyed Myspace because you can find most of the bands and actors you like and some of them are very personable. They'll put demos out there that they just recorded, announce upcoming projects, etc.
The girl who plays Pam on "The Office" blogs on Myspace ON SET while she's sitting at her receptionist's desk.
Plus it's good networking for my site, yes.
I can totally understand the uses, and like I said, it's great for things like you describe. For me, not so much. It's all I can do to keep updated on the blogs!
...and of course sitting high above them all, is the piece of shit "Titanic".
It did suck. But the set decoration was outstanding. I mean come on! That's a nice set!
Set decoration??? ARGHHHHHHHHH! (as told by shakesville residents)

Well fuck, after scout and tempus who can blame you!
Poor tempus. I still feel bad about him. Hope he's all right. scout can go fuck himself!
But the set decoration was outstanding. I mean come on! That's a nice set!
Here I only thought it was about "deck chairs".

That is an admirable set. But then, show me a Kate Winslet movie where you DON'T see her sweater puppies (at least).
I love her. She's fearless and she had a legendary cameo on "Extras".
Yeah, I wonder about tempus myself... I hope he didn't off himself.
SoS, me too.
MV, yeah, I love Winslet, too. She's a classic English beauty.
Sorry. All the politico type crap's got me a bit bored. Obama planting one on Biden's woman (just for you and the girls at Shakes ;) ) got me in a bit of a giddy mood. Imagine if Joe woulda slugged Obama right on stage! Pandamonium on the convention floor. Bill and Hillary seize the opportunity and organize a revolt! Cops! Tear gas! Woohoo!
Now that would be fun.
(just for you and the girls at Shakes ;) )
Gawd, if they ever find out I'm holding court over here, I'm a dead man.
Protect me?
I'd pay to see that one! And what a great video. I missed it last night, but wowwwwie!
I'd lay down my life for you, MV! It has been unreadable over there lately, too. I'm beginning to really dislike Melissa...

Two words. Hate. Group. 8)
Yeah, I know. They're now picking fights with other feminist groups. That's what you get when you're thinking you're hot shit. And her use of british expressions gets on my nerves more and more. Yeah, she's married to a scot, but fuck, you're not Madonna, ya know.
They're now picking fights with other feminist groups.
Oh Uncle Jonathan's Corn Cob Pipe!! What, did they run out of men to cuss at?
Maybe I should stop by with a case of beer and my fly open.

Has it gotten any bigger?
The beer or the fly?
Hey, we should go to TLC and start chattering in a thread, and when petey moves in, move to another thread!
Gak, I hate that smarmy fuck.
Has it gotten any bigger?
Not since I had to file the restraining order against Scarlett.
Jeebus, have some dignity, woman!
I'm going over to Shakesville with my favorite opening line:
"Any fine-lookin' bitches in the house?"
Heehee. I dare ya! Tell me which thread!
Check this out:
DAYTON — Tickets are still available for Sen. John McCain's Friday, Aug. 29, rally at Wright State University's Nutter Center in Fairborn.
McCain and his wife Cindy will appear at the event, dubbed the "Road to the Convention Rally." Doors open at 9 a.m. and the event begins at 11 a.m.
Tickets are being given away at county GOP offices in southwest Ohio and in Indiana and Kentucky.
Gak, I hate that smarmy fuck.
Yet, oddly, you can't seem to stop talking about him. Hmmmmm????
There is love there, I think. (puffs on pipe)
"Any fine-lookin' bitches in the house?"
That's how I picked up my wife!
There is love there, I think. (puffs on pipe)
God, I know that line from somewhere. Now it's gonna drive me nuts.
And yes, for me, hate is much stronger than love.
Free tickets to the Nutter!! Woohoo!!
I'm gonna swagger into Shakesville with my "dress like a ho gonna GET it like a ho" rap, and then when things get really violent, I'll "accidentally" link to the Fook blog.
Let's go to war with the feministas!
God, I know that line from somewhere. Now it's gonna drive me nuts.
I think it's Judd Hirsch in "Independence Day", but I'm not sure.
Let me know, so I can get a nice, tasteful photo up top. Jessica Alba, perhaps?
That's it!
Julius Levinson: All you need is love. John Lennon, smart man, shot in the back, very sad.
I was thinking Yentl?
Or A Fish Called Wanda? All the good quotes come from A Fish Called Wanda.
It's twoo, it's twoo!
That's how I picked up my wife!
Cuz it's a money line! For me it was, "Hey, this cock's not gonna suck itself. Let's go."
I was thinking Yentl?
As often as I quote "Yentl" you'd think so, but no.
Gosh, why are all the good men taken?
VIVA LAS FEMINISTAS!!!
I'm goin' home.
Later, dude!
Thursday evening Happy Hour!
Now I'm even more happy!
Go Obimi wan Kinobi!
May the Schwartz be with you!
Ha!
As often as I quote "Yentl" you'd think so, but no
I missed this earlier. Double Ha!
For me it was, "Hey, this cock's not gonna suck itself. Let's go."
I used to use that one but all the barfly's were getting used to the same ole' line.
