I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It’s such a wonderful movie I really hope they do the sequel

Seems like a bad idea, mostly because they couldn’t take as many liberties with the story now. Zuck is so much more a known quantity, they’d either have to completely disregard reality or make a much more boring story…

Unless they focus less on Zuck and more on the other corporate leaders, coders, and maybe a few key users. Like a sprawling Traffic-like approach.
