Martha Plimpton does NOT like Facebook...
I launched a Facebook page a few months ago and really enjoy the connection to people - old friends, new friends etc. But the wonderful actress Martha Plimpton, who I loved in "Running on Empty" and "Last Summer in the Hamptons," hates it. She gives the most hilarious quote about the social networking site in the new issue of "The Advocate" which interviewed her for its "Big Gay Following" feature.
Plimpton: "I went to Facebook for literally two days and it nearly ruined my life. MySpace doesn’t announce to the entire (expletive) universe every goddamned move I make. MySpace doesn’t send e-mails to people without asking my permission. Facebook is horrible. People can write how they know you -- or how they think they know you, which I hate. It’s a constant barrage of fucking pointless noise. It made me so stressed out for two days that I honestly felt like, If I don’t get off of this thing, I might end up in an institution.
That just cracks me up. It's the most passionate she is during the entire Q&A which she seems sort of bored with until Facebook is brought up. Then she just blows a fuse!
Here is a link to the whole thing. Trust me, this is the best answer she gives.
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
