The Social Network

Some movies are as good as books.  Some previews--the anticipation--are as good as waiting for the next Chabon, HP, or (for me and my periodic, requisite popcorn fix) Lincoln/Child-Pendergast.

With the possible exception (though only in certain aspects) of Panic Room, David Fincher hasn't made a bad movie.  Some of his movies are revelations, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of my all-time favorites.  How could I not be excited about his new one, The Social Network.

  1. Just as a fair warning, the movie is more Hollywood than truth. Mark Zuckerberg is not like how they portrayed him in that movie at all but I'm sure it will be a good movie all the same!

  2. Yeah, but with Fincher making it, seriously, I don't care how true it is. He's not a documentarian, just a freaking amazing movie maker.
