The epitome of our generation is social networking, and at the epitome of social networking is a pretty well know site called Facebook. If you have a twitter account, you have Facebook account. If you want to be famous, you have a Facebook. Facebook is the ultimate social site. Since we live in a world where social influence governs us whether it is recycling because Bono said to, or you masturbating less because Dr. Oz says it will shorten penis (not true) everything is done because it is social, and that's why a movie about Facebook and the social world makes for just an amazing movie.

The Social Network is a movie about the conception and creation of Facebook, the world's largest social networking site for those who don't know. Odds are you logged into it before you when to this awesomely sick-fucking -tastic blog.

From the 3 minute open dialouge wear your brain is racing to keep up with the multiple conversations, to the actual race of Harvard row boats this movie kept me interested. The movie was interesting I didn't find myself thinking "How much longer" or " It is going to be over soon" or "GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS MOVIE"

The acting in this movie was very, very well done. The biggest surprise in this movie was Justin Timberlake who did a great job, and took the role very seriously, although he did come off as a little bit of a metrosexual douche bag it was quite impressive for a pop artist. Jesse Eisenberg did an amazing job playing the world's youngest billionaire.

For those out there that seek the universe through solidarity or believe in mass anarchy than this is not a movie for you, even though there is probably a " Anarchist United" group on Facebook. This movie is for everyone who wants to learn about social networking, which is anyone reading this blog.

What really made this movie amazing was the writing, so a big shout of goes to or favorite presidential reformed drug addict Aaron Sorkin, who has done an amazing job of recounting the steps to the creation of the second most used website on the internet (google is first)

This was one movie I didn't want to end, In fact when the credits started rolling I was a little angry. Nevertheless I was happy I went, and I would advise you to do the same, In fact go with your friends, make plans, through, text, tweets, wall post, inbox messages, who cares we are social creatures, now go out and see how a 21 year old Jewish billionaire changed the world.

Overall Rating:
