Are you suggesting that websites are capable of feeling attraction to other websites, and/or that websites themselves have a specific gender? Fascinating.
Someone should make a thread to discuss which websites would date which other websites. Like NHL.com dating Victoriassecret.com, or NASCAR.com dating Monstertrucks.net for instance.

That explains your last tweet. Next time, check the fine print on the orgy invitation.

LA Times (with video):
Quote:
If that sounds like a hell of a premise, you don't know the half of it. Smartly written by Aaron Sorkin, directed to within an inch of its life by David Fincher and anchored by a perfectly pitched performance by Jesse Eisenberg, "The Social Network" is a barn-burner of a tale that unfolds at a splendid clip.
Yet, while nothing is more au courant than the Facebook phenomenon, "Social Network" succeeds because its story is the stuff of archetypal movie drama. It marries the tradition of present-at-the-creation epics like "Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet," "Madame Curie" and "Edison, the Man" with the familiar story of the corrupting power of ambition and success that allows audiences to feel, and not for the first time, that their ordinary lives have more meaning than those of the rich and famous.

Access Hollywood:

As excited as I get about great movies, I simply cannot remember the last time I loved a movie so much (and on so many levels) that it made my head spin.
It all adds up to an exhilarating and ultimately tragic character study that shares a variety of themes with “Citizen Kane.” Like that film’s Charles Foster Kane, Mark Zuckerberg is depicted as an ambitious genius whose quest for power led to the corruption of his soul. And where Kane presided over one medium that provided information (newspapers), Zuckerberg presides over another (the Internet).
The actors have plenty to work with, since Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay is so smart and well written. And though director David Fincher has amassed an incredible body of work, “The Social Network” is his best film yet, and it’s a true Oscar-contender in every sense of the word – regardless of whether its subject matter is here to stay or is just a fleeting moment in pop culture.

Just got back from seeing this film and I have to say that it was fantastic. Great acting, dialogue, score, etc. Highly recommend it to anyone that may have been on the fence about seeing it. What are everyone else's thoughts?

I saw it on Wednesday and I thought it was a great movie. I am not a heavy Facebook user by any means, and I don't think you need to know much about Facebook to enjoy the movie. It's not a movie about Facebook, it's a movie about how Facebook started. That's a key difference, because it doesn't matter if you use Facebook or not you should be able to enjoy the story that the movie tells.
However it is not perfect. It is clearly a dramatization of the Facebook story. I highly doubt this is an accurate representation of the actual events. I wouldn`t base the whole story on this dramatic retelling. It had some great acting, great writing, and great directing.
8.5/10

This movie has had excellent ratings by the reviewers. The Edmonton Journal gave it five stars out of five. Globe and Mail gave it three out of five, I believe. It's running 8/10 at imdb. I'm looking forward to seeing this one for myself, and may see it tonight. The plot interests me. May also see The Twon and do a double feature.

I look forward to seeing this (probably Monday).
I don't have facebook as my life is simply not interesting enough for it.
But if I ever get my etsy and/or website off the ground, or do well with my writing, then yeah, I'd go on facebook and promote the hell out of those things.
As for me personally, I'm just too dull. "Hi, I delivered a letter to Mr Smith today! This is Mrs Jones's dog! I talked to a pedophile on the phone sex line..."
Woohoooo!
And I admire Zuckerberg. What the heck.

After seeing it, I feel safe calling it the best movie of the year so far (in my humble P.O.V)

Some people are questioning the whole "movie of the year" thing, which is perfectly fine, but I think it begs the obvious question.

Inception and The Town were both better for me personally. All 3 were very entertaining though and I can't remember another time when I saw consecutive great movies over such a short period.

based on what I have seen so far, and I know most awards type movies come out in the fall, but I would be surprised if this wasn't nominated in Best Picture, director, screenplay
