The Social Network: Movie Review
Oct. 3rd, 2010 07:01 pmTwo background facts that should probably be known:
(1) I have been looking forward to this movie for an absurdly long time. I miss having Aaron Sorkin writing me new things, okay? If I won the lottery, I might use some of my winnings to make Aaron Sorkin write me stuff every so often. I don't go see many movies, so the fact that I was going to this one was a MAJOR EVENT. I couldn't wait, I was so excited. And then, as it got closer, and as I started reading reviews comparing it to "Citizen Kane," I started to get worried that it was being too built-up in my head and I was going to be inevitably disappointed.
(2) I did not have such a great day the day I went to see this movie. I'd gotten disappointing news about something that forced me to completely re-evaluate life plans and life choices and, you know, lightweight, unimportant things like that. And then work was being annoying, and it was raining, and there was a disabled subway train, and it was all a bit stressful.
So. With those two background facts in mind:
( In Which I Generally Babble Like a Lunatic )
