The Social Network.

I was going to do an October post, and I will, but instead of spending the evening at home, I went to the midnight showing of The Social Network. Should it have surprised me that the theatre* was sparsely filled with hipsters? Probably not. I enjoyed this movie. I actually like Jesse Eisenberg (the poor man's Michael Cera), but I really disliked Mark Zuckerburg. He was condescending & pretentious. You know within five minutes of the movie he's a jerk, but you get the full effect within fifteen because he's updating his LIVE JOURNAL and his username is "ZUCKONIT". WHAT? Is this real life? Also, he insulted his ex-girlfriend [that broke up with him because he was a total d bag to her within 3 minutes of the movie starting] via his live journal and you wonder why you only had a few friends, Mark. My Mark Zuckerburg dislike/rant aside, Jesse Eisenberg did an awesome job and I adore Andrew Garfield (Eduardo in the film; also in Doctor Parnassus). I just thought the movie weaved in and out of the past and present well and it was paced perfectly. My only regret is that Mark Zuckerburg is probably making money off of this movie and he doesn't deserve it because it's only making his ego bigger. I forgot, but the reason I may have been all about this movie is because prior to the start of the movie, everyone CLAPPED with the theme song and that is my favorite thing EVER because often times I go and no one claps, but this time EVERYONE CLAPPED. This doesn't make sense if you don't go to a MJR theatre.*1 pretentious point for spelling it "theatre" instead of "theater".
