Game Change SARAH PALIN Palin played it cool, saying she wasn't concerned about a movie based on a false narrative, but her publicist gave away the game when she said looking at the trailers alone gets my blood boiling.
The Social Network MARK ZUCKERBERG HALVART CRACKED.COM In retrospect, this film humanized a monster, but at the time, it was a cute little backstory about the Farmville website.
