"You're going to be successful, and rich. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a geek. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole."  "You’re not an ...

Oh my god did i really just write that?    Think back to the internet in 2003. Youtube doesn't exist yet, so if you want to see idiots hurt themselves you have to visit your relatives. You had to do actual research if you wanted to learn something because someone ...

  Mark Zuckerberg. Rocky Balboa. Social Network is a great movie. The writing, performances, filmography, and score all come together to form a modern parable of human interaction. That is all well and good, but the film also follows a rather strange structure. Its beats oddly conform to 1970s and ...

 It seems that once every year a film comes out during ‘Oscar season’ that is labeled as immensely topical, a true testament to our time that perfectly captures a specific mentality that defines our world now, perhaps even defines a generation as a whole. Most of the time these films ...

 It's not actually my favorite movie of 2010, but The Social Network represents, possibly by far, the best coming together of writing, directing, and acting that I've seen from last year. There's just immense skill on display through the entire thing.  Aaron Sorkin's screenplay is so great that you could ...

"You are going to get left behind." --- This is our time. Forget that Facebook is open in the second tab over, next to whatever. Forget that Facebook exists. Imagine the story of a man of wants to be recognized; whether it's love or hate, his name is out there. ...

  I think the precedent for hyperbole has been set, so let's have at it: It’s everything they said it would be. It’s Citizen Kane by way of David Mamet, All the President’s Men by way of John Hughes. It doesn’t slow down, it doesn’t linger on anything. It’s constantly shifting ...

The thing with The Social Network is that it transcends what most people originally think as a superficial, melodramatic film adaptation on the founding of a website. After viewing David Fincher’s film, one can easily discern the difference between a true cinema devotee and a shallow filmgoer who still views it as ...

  Right, so there is really only one thing to be said. The Social Network is an excellent movie and you should really go see it if you haven’t already. In all fields it seems to go above and beyond competence. But despite this there is a certain lack of ...

 I can't speak to the legitimacy or how much of the Social Network is indeed fact. Then I ask dose that really matter? In the end Aaron Sorkin and Fincher have made a excellent character drama that moved beyond the absurd premise of the founding of FACEBOOK.     Everyone in ...

  Film: The Social Network Director: David Fincher Written By: Aaron Sorkin (Screenplay) Distributor: Columbia Pictures Run Time: 2 hours 1 minute Starring: Jessie Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Rooney Mara, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella You know that feeling that you got when you walked out at the ...

David Fincher’s The Social Network is not what you think it is: a whimsical tale of a young entrepreneur who forges a new means of social interaction.  The Social Network is an expertly crafted story of a young man understanding true friendship and what powers it can hold.Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is a selfish ...

  So award season is upon us, and as someone who has a degree in film I feel like it is my responsibility to care somewhat about what is going on with that whole process. I’m not really going out of my way to try to see even all of ...

Remember when "The Social Network" was simply known as "that facebook movie that has Justin Timberlake in it"...cause I certainly do.  Well David Fincher's "The Social Network" is a fine film about one of this generations most defining creations: Facebook. Fincher's no stranger to making great movies.  With a stellar ...

"The Social Network" is the sum of so many good parts manifested in its incredibly talented director, writer and cast.  The film is based on Ben Mezrich's book "Accidental Billionaires," which Facebook founder, CEO and lead character of the film Mark Zuckerberg openly opposes as an untrue retelling of the ...

 Social Network has a lot of quality things packed into it, it’s just not always that compelling.  I have been curious about Social Network for some time now, it has always seemed like an interesting biopic about one of the biggest social changes in recent times.  In a lot of ...

I think it's very important to realize that much of this film is fictionalized, since some people seem to be confusing the events of the movie with reality. The character Mark Zuckerberg is quite different from real life Zuckerberg, and the details of his life as he goes from Harvard ...

The Social Network Quote :" The internet's not written in pencil, Mark. It's written in ink." Erica Albright. A movie completely different to David Fincher's style but somehow it's his best film yet. Jesse Eisenberg is outstanding in the movie. Best screenplay and score of the year.If you haven't watched ...

 perfect acting, great plot, and the mood of the film was perfectly established. i would buy this on the first day of blu-ray release if i could. definetely a great movie. - Michael Finnie on Flixster.    

 The Social Network - I finally saw it. Here are my thoughts. O.K., first the disclosures -1) I am a David Fincher fan. If I had known he had directed it I probably would have seen it a long time ago.2) Trent Reznor does the soundtrack - also sort of ...

 The Social Network is one of those films that ends up defining the generation it is aimed towards.  In this case, it's aimed towards our generation who are constantly wired in.  What better way to showcase our generation then by highlighting the creation of one of the most innovative products ...

Masterfully shot, written and acted. The Social Network is a collaboration between Fincher, Sorkin and Eisenberg who have crafted something special out of an ordinary story. The film is less about "Facebook" itself and more about Mark Zuckerberg and his relationship with the people that made his project come to ...

(This is gonna be short, due to the fact that I've gotta leave for The King's Speech in 10 minutes)  The moment I left the theater, I went straight home and searched for an interview with Mark Zuckerberg. As I watched, I thought him to be a pretty normal person, but ...

The Social Network is my favourite movie of 2010. It may well go on to be one of my favourite movies of all time. But more than this it is an incredibly important movie. It has changed my perspective on the way films can be written, the way they can ...

     Considering this movie got 9 Oscar nods, I really was confused by it's plodding, sanitary, sleep walk to the end.  The movie was about how one man who was completely socially inept, but a computer genius.  Helped to create the way that many people today connect socially. This ...

 Sadly, The Social Network will go down in most people's minds as "That Facebook Movie". Say what you will about Facebook, say what you will about Zuckerburg, but this is an extremely good character study... which by the way, sort of happened. I say sort of, because this movie is ...

As I sat down in the theater, I half-expected to see people on their phones checking Facebook before the room went dark. This, in itself, is exactly what David Fincher is trying to point out with his latest masterpiece The Social Network, and I suddenly realized why he accepted such ...

Well I am a little late to the Social Network party but I finally saw the film last night. When I first heard there was going to be a facebook movie I thought , are there really no more original ideas, do we need another romantic comedy with the twist ...

My johnny-comes-lately review of Social Network is right along the lines of everyone who has seen the movie. It's apparently impossible not to like it. Interesting, considering the "protagonist" is a giant prick, and the people he screwed over are sympathetic mainly because they are slightly less cold and vicious.  ...

This isn't a documentary, of course, what's true and what's not out in the real world shouldn't be up for discussion here. What is true is that Aaron Sorkin created a brilliant story out of the real events leading to the creation of the new Internet. David Fincher's direction is ...
