Online personas - a film about it!!!

[Duende]

For those that haven't seen it, there are no spoilers, but this film (about having an online persona that is very different to a real life one), was very, very good and highly recommended! It basically shows how people hide behind who they can be on the internet. It is intriguing, funny and also quite sad too.

 

The film follows the relationship a young man has with a young girl who is a painter. The friendship develops and they write and send gifts to one another, it isn't long before the girl's mother also befriends the young man and things develop...nothing nasty happens, but it does make you think of various internet people and think "hmmm this is uncanny" LOL

It's kind of like the guitar forums, some of us have become great Rock Stars in our online lives.

Dom,

 

slightly off topic but have you seen this episode of TBBT when Sheldon imitates Admiral Ackbar?

Can't say I've seen much of The Big Bang Theory! Not that I wouldn't enjoy it, I have enjoyed the ones I've seen... Just always slips my mind (I have the memory of a goldfish, put me in a bowl and I'll see a new castle every time I swim around)
