The Social Network

The Social Network, a movie about how facebook is bad for you and how Mark Zuckerberg is a jerk. Especially to his friend, Spiderman. it is also about irony, because Mark made this social network only to have no friends. Weird, huh?
So when the movie first starts out, you see Mark with his girlfriend, soon to be ex girlfriend. he is talking about how he is smarter then her and how the only reason why they got into the bar that they were in was because she slept with the gourd outside. Already you dislike him, and it hasn’t even been 3 seconds yet. Perhaps this scene was a little over done, mostly because you never got a chance to like Mark, and the question you ask yourself is, why on earth did this nice, sweet, woman EVER date this guy????
No one knows. But they don’t remain dating for long.
But anyway, then Mark shows his EVEN jerkier side by blogging about his ex girlfriend’s bra size. Now if there are any guys out there, the one why to make you look like a total @$$hole his to say something about a woman’s breast, weather it be her bra size or whatever. Take it from me, please, never, NEVER ever EVER say stuff like that EVER EVER EVER, because you will be hated by everyone (I actually think there is one, just one, exception to this rule, think Pam and Jim from the Office when Jan came in with her new boob job in season 3 or 4, back when the Office was cool, that's maybe okay. maybe.). So I cannot stand this guy now, because he broke the number 1 rule of me liking a person. But enough about breasts, on to the whole point of the movie.
Then you introduce the guys who are the hot rowers who also like computers. They go to Mark to get him to sign on to there Pre-facebook facebook idea thing. Mark says yes, and then starts working on his own thing, The Facebook.
The movie is constantly switching back and forth from the law suit to the time that it actually happened, and I got to admit, I liked that aspect of it.
So the two brothers get mad, and they sue him.
And then Mark starts acting like a total jerk to Spiderman, and I’m like, dude, back off. Then Spiderman sues him, and so you are seeing two lawsuits at once happening. Pretty exciting!
I liked the movie, although it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. It was a bit more dramatized and artistic then I was thinking, but I was still was a good movie. I know why it was nominated for best picture, but who could beat the Kings Speech? And Colin Firth? Who can beat him? I’ll answer that for you, no one. No one at all. Oh! I think I know who I’ll write about next!
My grade: 91
Rating: PG-13, but they do drop the f bomb, twice, but one time you can’t hear that well. There is also some pot smoking and sex, but you don’t see anything.
