I love how Sean Parker is noted as "Justin Timberlake's character in the movie"
- corin_ 16y agoI thought the exact opposite, read it as appealing to the lowest common denominator rather than being tongue in cheek.
- msbarnett 16y agoI think it is more "this is the most remarkable thing you can say about Sean Parker" to answer the question "wait, who is Sean Parker?"
- Swizec 16y agoI think Napster was more remarkable. But who remembers Napster anymore ... it's like that "What are the A: and B: drives for" story yesterday.
- msbarnett 16y agoNapster is more associated with the other Shawn in people's minds, I think. The few people who remember Napster, anyways.
- nostrademons 16y agoYeah, I remember seeing the FaceBook moving and thinking "Did they fictionalize Shawn Fanning's name or something?"
- prawn 16y agoSame. I knew of Fanning but didn't recall Parker and initially assumed that Fanning had somehow legally prevented the film-makers from using his name.
- notahacker 16y agothere was something deliciously ironic about the way every in the audience is thinking "Sean who?" in the Social Network scene where the college girl is excited about "the Sean Parker"
- patio11 16y agoSo that is Justin Timberlake. He's always been in my "I know I should know that name but can't quite place him" box.
- scorpion032 16y agoHe is Brittney's ex. Also remember the 'Cry me a river' song.
- xiaoma 16y agoHe's an extremely successful singer, first as part of 'N Sync and later on his own. Up through now he's won 6 Grammy and 2 Emmy awards. He's been in a handful of movies before, but I think the Social Network was the first I recognized him in.
- FluidDjango 16y ago[another pop-culture disconnectee here]: I wouldn't know the name if he had not instigated an infamous "wardrobe malfunction" at a superbowl (not that I actually watched the game/halftime).
