Are you Ben Shapiro?

"you guys rag on a ton of people here but for some reason Fincher is somehow a God……please explain"

This is just not true. They trashed both ZODIAC and BENJAMIN BUTTON, and THE SOCIAL NETWORK script.

Considering we do everything online, and inform folks we haven't seen in nearly 20 years about a rough day at work, a concert we are attending or a recent break up through status updates, the subject matter is compelling.

And with Sorkin and Fincher behind it, I can't see how this wouldn't be an intriguing look at more than just a billion dollar business idea and a friendship ruined by $$$, but an in-depth look at its cultural ramifications.

What's more Film Comment is tied in with the Film Society of Lincoln Center which is tied into the NYFF. So, take the rave with a grain of salt. However, Fincher is a talented director so I'm sure it will be worthy to some degree.

Facebook is to "Social Network" what the Washington Post is to "All The Presidents Men."

Do you think film lovers gave Pakula a hard time about that? Do you think they asked him whether he was going to do a movie about The New York Times next?

What's with this talk of "journalistic integrity?"

Re the people who tirelessly insist on how uncool it is to be "the least bit interested in a movie about Facebook":

We get it. A movie about Facebook. What's next, a movie about [something similar]? Hilarious.

"it's about guys who made a multi-billion dollar company out of their fucking dorm rooms which became an utter phenonmenon and then fucked each other over."

hmmmm how many times has this been done(simliar basis)????

BUT NOW WITH FACEBOOK!!!!!!

sorry but Fincher is a very bland director

aside from Fight Club&Panic Room, all his movies are a (insert something witty) fest……

Alien 3….ugggghhhhh

se7en…..no joke but I saw that film at a young age and new who was going to be in the BAAAAWWWX……very early on in the film.

the game & zodiac: you lost the game.

you guys rag on a ton of people here but for some reason Fincher is somehow a God……please explain

It's about guys who made a multi-billion dollar company out of their fucking dorm rooms which became an utter phenonmenon and then fucked each other over.

How that is not a good story? Ahh, you're just gonna call it the "Facebook" movie and be obstintate about it. Whatever.

And this is someone who thought the script was piss-poor dull, but from all accounts, this is a strong film with great performances.

It's not like Ryan Reynolds stars as Myspace in guyliner. Get over it already.

What, because it's about the founding of Facebook and Facebook is "uncool"? It's not an advertisement for the site, you morons. It's made by Fincher and Sorkin, not some Hollywood sellouts.

Everyone who has seen the movie says it's incredible. You guys are gonna eat your words.
