The Social Network

Went to see it today and was much, much better than I thought it would be. So good it has had me Googling all night to see how much of it is real. Turns out the book was really dramatised so the film most definitely was, but the core things are true: the people involved, the lawsuits, etc.

Andrew Garfield (the next Spiderman) stole the show for me, being so superb in the supporting role, though I do think all the supporting actors and the characters they play are really good. Armie Hammer is a good laugh as the Winklevoss twins and even Justin Timberlake is good in it. In fact if I was to rank the best performances in this film, Jesse Eisenberg would be below the ones mentioned - though he was excellent as Zuckerberg.

Definitely one to go see if you haven't yet.

Jesse Eisenberg & Justin Timberlake really ran away with their roles I thought, just excellent work on their part - in whole however, I really enjoyed the movie and all of the "this is true & this isn't true" that surrounds it. Vanity Fair right now has a really interesting piece on the real Sean Parker that I read up on, and I've taken great strides to remind myself that Zuckerberg was a harder worker and less of a party animal then the movie let on.

I don't the movie ev er let on that Zuckerberg was a party animal to be honest

Yeah, I'm not sure where you got Zuckerberg being a party animal from, ApSham. If anything it was portrayed like all these parties were going on around him and even after Facebook started getting big he couldn't really fully integrate himself into them.
