Good movie -- I agree that Jessie Eisenberg (sp?) was terrific. It's not easy to effectively portray a character who you both like and dislike simultaneously.:-)Stephaniehttp://laughingstars.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929618445982727695.post-78210075652027251942010-10-08T08:28:19.406-04:002010-10-08T08:28:19.406-04:00@Stephanie I'm glad my writing can boost antic...@Stephanie I'm glad my writing can boost anticipation.

Both are Australian, so if you want to catch some good Australian co-productions, then do take the opportunity).<br /><br />My exposure to <i>The social network</i> has been immersed in the trailer. Great to hear about the narrative levels, and the ancillary coverage on "what Zuckerberg is really like".<br /><br />My favourite part of the trailer would probably be when Mark stands up and talks about the significance of the technology which Facebook uses.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929618445982727695.post-77744381313521333952010-10-03T20:43:13.152-04:002010-10-03T20:43:13.152-04:00After reading your review, I am looking forward to...After reading your review, I am looking forward to this movie even more.Stephaniehttp://laughingstars.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929618445982727695.post-85315663864762930692010-10-03T19:55:14.383-04:002010-10-03T19:55:14.383-04:00Well, if you like Sorkin, you will definitely not ...Well, if you like Sorkin, you will definitely not be disappointed.Nick Duvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089865009208643645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929618445982727695.post-72988393644577047632010-10-03T17:08:05.274-04:002010-10-03T17:08:05.274-04:00I'm really exited to see this movie because of...I'm really exited to see this movie because of Aaron Sorkin's work with the West WingJozeph Duköhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324022702727436945noreply@blogger.com
