Just watched The Social Network...ask me anything.

At first I was put off because it was about Facebook.
Then I saw Aaron Sorkin had written it.
So took the plunge..
it was good!!!
The actor playing Zuckenberg has a familiar face and plays an asshole nicely,
traits he seems to have learned from the guy who started Napster.

I did not care at all for Zuckenberg as a person, and had put off see the movie for some time.
But the writing and directing made up for the subject matter.

I think Clooney needs to hire Sorkin to write his movies.
Clooney has good ideas, but his movies are a bit incoherent at times.
Then again, he is nice eye candy.

But I was one of the in-flight movies. I though it was pretty good. Boy was Zuckenberg portrayed as an asshole or what!?
