 Re: The Social Network Gunslinger wrote: Eduardo, at least as written by Sorkin, made foolish moves as well. Freezing the account is the big one, but there's also a general impetuous, naive quality to him. Zuckerberg, Parker, and the rest in California weren't wrong to question his role in the company and his abilities as a businessman as it went from the dorm to the entire world.
I agree. I personally don't feel much for him in the movie. Not saying he deserves to be screwed, but he certainly didn't deserve to keep 30% of the share after Facebook's expansion into the billion dollar business. He is more of the Wall Street type of guy and also didn't devote himself as fully into the adventure as others. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: The Social Network He's talking about BEFORE they reduced his shares. He had 30% to start.
I thought you were better than this, Bradley.

Argos +1 intelligence Bradley -1 intelligence I would have posted my own witty remark, but Amadeus is the perfect example of how absolutely foolish it is to assume movies about non-fictional events should be treated as accurate documents. _________________

Re: The Social Network I have seen it four times by now (each time with different people). I really like it. We are at nine points at the moment.

Re: The Social Network If... Quote: Fanboy is a term used to describe a male who is highly devoted and biased in opinion towards a single subject or hobby within a given field, then I am not a fanboy.

Re: The Social Network Then your understanding of fanboyism is not the same as everyone else's. Please define the term.

Re: The Social Network THE SOCIAL NETWORK - 9/10 (A-)
Impressive. Very well-made and surprisingly entertaining. Andrew Garfield is really fantastic here. Rooney Mara managed to leave quite an impression in her limited screen time. It's almost enough to make me forgive her wretched turn in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake. Also very good was Armie Hammer.
Despite all of the kudos this received I wasn't expecting to love it, but I was wrong. Great movie!

Re: The Social Network I am deeply disappointed. A sullen movie with a way overrated performance by Jesse Eisenberg. Every character in the movie is unlikeable, which I absolutely hate. The story is interesting but wasted. It's a decent movie if you don't know the story, but I can't understand the way this is running away with the awards. 2010 has been a very weak year for movies. C+

Re: The Social Network So, it was pretty much the best movie from last year, at least it has left me thinking about it the most and not cringing the least.

Re: The Social Network I agree Eisenberg is overrated. He came off as a slightly angrier version of his Zombie and Adventureland characters
I actually thought Jonah Hill in Cyrus was better than him, among 'young chic nerd actors playing a serious role'
