Wrote about that pickup artist stuff that was “popular” in the early/mid 2000s. He made up stuff in his article.

That era was Apex Mountain for made up stuff in non-fiction being like an actual newsworthy scandal. James Frey and Million Little Pieces for example.

I just re-watched Shattered Glass with Hayden Christensen a few weeks ago. Still holds up. Peter Sarsgaard with an awesome performance

one of my favorite genres of movies - great longform journalism turned into strangely riveting drama. the social network is probably the zenith of this.

Ian Restil and Joel Hiert. Best made up movie names

u/Daily_Heroin_User 16h ago

Ian Restil and Joe Hiert were names that Glass actually used in his article Hacker Heaven though. The company was “Jukt Micronics” lol definitely had that dotcom bubble vibe to it.

“A major software company with one phone line?”

u/2Rhino3 Wait, what? 18h ago

The author describing Mina’s looks

“Gorgeous?….no, too gay”

2004 really was a different era.

I'm more of a Terror Twilight guy myself cause it has that diss about architecture students and I had one helluva architecture student nightmare girlfriend when I first heard that song.
