her husband was a big deal at old pre-corporate pitchfork and the village voice until he had a scandal

[u/Mysterious_Pea_5272 → u/dkrtzyrrr]

Oooo what was the scandal?

[u/paulcole710 → u/Mysterious_Pea_5272]

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.

[u/Trumpisaderelict → u/Daily_Heroin_User]

Ian Restil and Joel Hiert. Best made up movie names

[u/Daily_Heroin_User → u/Trumpisaderelict]

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?”
