the social network (2010)

OkaY starting out with this movie review i will have to admit i haven't seen it, and i only barely remember the trailer.

Before we jump into the review, i'd like to give a little info on the topic at hand: Facebook. Facebook can be found at www.facebook.com and you can post pictures of your new haircuts on it.

This movie stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Brenda Song (this name soundss made up, possibly someone too embarrassed to use their real name), and others. Who the heck are these people?

It's about the creation of social network giant face book and how they had to run around a lot and there are people constantly yelling and there's a lot of computer lingo. It's set up as a court drama and the judge has a gavel.

Napster guy (played by Timberland) wants to attatch his name to it since no one likes nampster anymore. Facebook guy refuses and thats why theyre in court. They both give good testimonies in a scene obviously inspired by "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".

I'm not sure why you would go see a movie about a website, unless it's a movie about this blog. For this reason i'm awarding this movie my lowest rating, two stars **
