Review:

In another review, I talked about how lame it was to grow a pet or garden in your profile. This boils down to the fact that it means you spend enough time on
Facebook that you need some sort of additional entertainment or interaction in YOUR OWN profile to keep busy. The Never-Ending Movie Quiz (part of the Movies application) is in
the same category as this in that you basically sit in your own profile and accrue points by clicking through questions about movie trivia endlessly. Notice the last word,
“endlessly.” Let's contemplate for a moment the thinking that goes into installing this application into your profile:

“Damn, I'm a Level 28 Zombie Warlord, I have 15 stuffed frogs, and a pet salamander named Reginald, whose now starting a
family of his own. I really don't know what to do with myself anymore when I'm on Facebook…. Wait, maybe that cute chick from my bio class posted some racy pics from the
weekend.… Oh shit, what's this? A movie trivia quiz, and what's that? It's never-ending?! Holy shit, I've finally found something I can do on Facebook from now until I die
and never ever be finished! Thank you Mark Zuckenberger! From your fertile loins has sprung the ultimate way in which to idle my meaningless life away!”

Grade: F

The very concept of this shit, a NEVER-ENDING movie quiz, in and of itself encapsulates the zealotry with which people are subscribed to their
Facebook.
