Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play

With so much hype about “Social Network” and its Best Picture nomination,
I decided to rent the “other” Facebook movie from Netflix. And just watched it.

It is a documentary film that was a big hit at the Sundance Film Festival.
You might remember that I already have some “issues” with Facebook and the whole
social-networking thing. How people share information, reveal themselves & how so
much information can be found on the Internet with just a few clicks. Still not a fan.

I had only heard small snippets about this documentary film. It is definitely a film
you should go into not knowing anything about. So I won’t tell you either.
But I will tell you it deals with relationships on Facebook, the people you “friend”
and where it can go from there. Enough said.

Two thumbs up… you’ll be part of their adventure faster than you’d think.
The main character is very endearing and you want to see where this takes him.
With his brother & friend as his camera crew, you follow his journey very personally.
And I guarantee it will not be where you expect… a documentary with a twist!!!
And I would definitely suggest it for anyone who has teenage kids on Facebook
who might be sharing too much, posting too many pictures and “friending” too
many people without knowing them!
