SUPER DUPER UNRELATED POST TIME!

So, last Sunday my english class and I saw the "The Social Network" a.k.a the facebook movie. Jesse Eisenberg broke out of his usual awkward character in " Adventureland" and  "Zombieland" and became angsty socially awkward character, Mark Zuckerberg. I found Marks character to be one of the most compelling because of his cockiness (is that a word?) and lack of concern during the court scenes (doodling on his papers). I felt bad for Eduardo (Edwardo?) and absolutely hated Sean Parker (though very well played by Justin Timberlake... what can't that guy do?). I had no clue the napster guy was involved with Facebook. Someone brought up to me how the movie's sexist. How those two girls found out Eduardo and Mark made Facebook and brought them into the bathroom for "business time." Basically most of the girls aside from Erica (Mark's ex-girlfriend) were portrayed as complete sluts. I'm not going into feminist mode, but I found that interesting. Did you guys know the Winklevoss twins were played by two different people? You had the one normal actor who looked like a twin and another completely different looking guy they put a face a winklevos twin face on with special effects. Apparently the director couldn't find real twins that looked enough like the actual Winklevos twins. Someone in class mentioned that the movie inspired them to make something big and the movie inspired me as well. Too bad I'm not a computer engineer but hey I'll think of something, right? Long story short: See "The Social Network"because there's a lot of drama, based on a true story (though fabricated), and great acting.

  1. Jess, I thought Mark in the movie was great!! I hated JT's acting and his character in the movie! It was a great movie though, really. I definitely thought to myself, "why can't I think of something like facebook". Mark Zuckerberg makes it seems so easy..
