I wish I was joking when I said that I saw this movie in theaters four times. And this was PRE AMC A-LIST! I paid for FOUR FULL-PRICED MOVIE TIX to see this one film. And you know what? I'd do it again.

In case you forgot, Andrew Garfield played Eduardo Savrin, former best friend of Mark Zuckerberg and cofounder of Facebook:

Eduardo telling Mark that he's going to sue him for ownership of Facebook

And Dakota Johnson played Amelia, a college co-ed who hooked up with Sean Parker of Napster (played by Justin Timberlake) and informed him about "The Facebook":

"And Jesse didn't acknowledge me," Dakota continued.

Before you write off Jesse for being rude to Dakota, they had an explanation!

Dakota said "He was [probably] staying in character" and Andrew responded by saying "He

Both...are possible.

Andrew later recalled the next time they met and chatted at length at an industry party, which Dakota said she couldn't remember, and Andrew only responded with, "I was sober."

Who'dda thought that after over a decade, these two humans would have formed a beautiful friendship? NOT ME!
