You better Lawyer up, Asshole.


How do you become the youngest billionaire in the world? You have to be Mark Zuckerberg.
Would I like to be Mark Zuckerberg? Quite frankly, no. I mean, I guess I envy him his brian - seriously, intelligence is definitely hot (I think that's coz it's such a rarity nowadays). But after watching 'The Social Network', I just realised that I can certainly do without the conniving, backstabbing, bitterness and avarice. There are just far more important things in life, than screwing up friendships over a few billion dollars - and yes, i do actually mean that, with every fiber of my being.
I thought it was done quite well, don't you? The dialogue was brimming with a barrage of contemptuous insights and caustic remarks; the casting was rather apt (ironic though, that Jesse Eisenberg who played Zuckerberg in this movie, also starred in 'Zombieland' where he jeered at Facebook status's in a somewhat humorously deadpan fashion) - but I think that Eisenberg nailed the part with his almost sociopathic performance (come on, you're telling me he didn't seem even the slightest bit mentally unstable? Like his neurons were transmitting faster than his brain could actually handle!) Do you think Zuckerberg is like that? Even if he wasn't, thumbs up and hats off to Jesse Eisenberg. Oh oh and for those of you who used to watch 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody' (or still do, like me on odd occasions), and remember Brenda Song (London Tipton)... you know, the spoilt rotten little rich girl who usually stands in one place and claps like a retarded seal while vibrating (yes vibrating) on the spot like a retarded penguin (in this context the word 'retard' is NOT to be associated with the completely awesome and otherwise unrecorded -except in the Retard Dictionary- version of the word), well anyway, (back on track), if you remember her from there, you'd be quite surprised (or not) to see her actually play a very smart Harvard Groupie who does indeed (yes indeed) deign to go down on her knees for Andrew Garfield (who plays Eduardo Saverin, the CFO of Facebook AND who, just btw, is rather unexpectedly aesthetically pleasing) in a really shady toilet, for really seedy reasons (check my pun!). I'm not sure how accurate the movie is, but Zuckerberg hasn't sued them or anything for character defamation, so I'm guessing that it just about makes the cut.
I have to hand it to Zuckerberg though: what he invented is legendary in every proportion. What I wouldn't give to have a mind as elastic as that. The movie hardly captured the creativity or genius of the concept, focusing mainly on the financial fusillade that erupted over its nascency.
So yes, I would recommend that you do hurry and watch it (if you already haven't) even if it's for the sole reason of watching Justin Timberlake play the role of a calculating little (he is quite little isn't he) poriferan - That, you will definitely enjoy (especially if right deep down, you always believed he looked like one) I'm not saying that I ever did though. I'm just saying.
