Facebook-phobic

I don’t own a cellphone.  This is partially because I don’t see the need to be reachable by anyone, virtually any time.  I have a landline, so if you’re                           calling me because your house is on fire, don’t! Hang up and call the Fire Department because they’re much better equipped to help you than I am.

Then there’s the people who walk around with an earbud, seemingly talking to themselves like crazy persons; crazy persons that sometimes speak so loudly that you find yourself being dragged into their conversation, which doesn’t appear interesting enough to engage two people, never mind three.

I also don’t have a Facebook account (‘Screenphiles’ does, though that wasn’t created by me, so I am still cherry) because I don’t trust it.  Then there’s “The Social Network,” where Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) seems to make millions primarily from being a bit of a douche.

That’s not surprising, but to see someone apparently become so successful by (seemingly) screwing over his friends doesn’t inspire confidence because if that’s the way he treats people he knows…

What does that have to do with anything?  Well, Marvel is having an early screening of “The Avengers” for Facebook fans, which implies to me that somehow having a Facebook account makes them somehow more worthy.

Now, keep in mind that I would feel a bit differently if I trusted Facebook enough to get an account, but there you go.
