Like this (thumbs up)

If there's one thing I'm actually given credit for (still on rare occasions), it's my impeccable timing. Once again, I'm delivering here for you when we open The Social Network this Friday. Now this is a movie that has been out there for a little bit, and it's safe to say a few people saw it back then, but it's the last movie Lawren and I went to see at a place not called a/perture cinema. So when we were given the chance to show it, we jumped on it. And what happens after we announce it? Six golden globe nominations, including best drama, best actor and supporting actor, best director, and best screenplay. Oh, and Mark Zuckerberg is now Time's "Person of the Year." All because we booked the film. Christmas we'll put the theory to the test when we open Carrot Top's new movie...crap, my wittiness has been absconded just by typing the evil red head's name.

Wait a second, he looks a little like Jesse Eisenberg, no? The hair at least. Few people know this, but Carrot Top invented Myspace. That explains a lot.

So everyone knows that The Social Network is Ben Mezrich's adaptation of the story of how Facebook was founded. So is it all completely factually accurate? Probably not. Is it a great film? Absolutely. And it features a score from Trent Reznor (also a Golden Globe nominee - when did anybody think they would read that?). Here's the trailer:



Few things are creepier than a chorus of kids singing Radiohead. Now go become our fan on FACEBOOK!
