"The Social Network"

This is the smartest movie I have seen in a while--and not just because it was about a bunch of genius'. Aaron Sorkin deserved his Golden Globe for best screenplay, and I expect him to continue to show throughout the awards season.
Kudos also go to David Fincher for impeccable direction, and of course to the cast. It was a tight ensemble piece that kept me engaged from beginning to end. I do not buy as many movies as I used to, but this one is on my list.
Most of the techno-speak went over my head, but I was never made to feel less-than for it, and I am grateful for that.
Can't wait to see it AGAIN!
More than anything else, it put a human face on Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of the facebook gang. There were no villains, just young men on a mission. (Except for the twins I call the "Winklesnots"--they can just bite me, the privileged brats!)
