The league is great

 

what is the league

 

the television of equivalent of "i listen to everything but rap and country"

 

That's such a stupid thing to say

 

The Happening is a good movie.

 

It's certainly a good comedy

 

Can you delete this please

 

not gonna happen

 

I watched The Social Network for the first time since theaters. I didn’t like it then and was surprised by how much praise it got and I still don’t like it now.

It takes all the bad aspects of Finches and Sorkin and almost none of their good aspects and just goes nonstop for two hours with little to no breaks or levity. And the majority of the acting/writing is horrible, specifically Timberlake.

The only redeeming part of it is the music, at least they got that right.

 

The worst aspect of Sorkin is the entirety of Mark Zuckerburg so that can't be true.

 

If Sorkin has his way then the Zuckerberg character would have been a hero, so “it takes all the bad aspects of Sorkin” can’t possibly be true. The man loves nothing more than a misogynistic know-it-all

 

I haven’t watched it in years but I remember liking it. Maybe I’ll rewatch it soon.

 

I find it just as shallow and immature as Fight Club, but with worse acting and writing.

 

Top five from that decade.

 

Fincher is often overrated but Social Network is great. Also Newsroom is the worst of Sorkin.

 

Sorkin's a great writer, despite some flaws. TSN is one of the best movies of its decade.

 

Sorkin is great.

 

I remember in college I kept reading lists of unfairly cancelled shows and Sports Night was always close to the top. I bought the series on Amazon and made it through like 4 before I couldn’t take the cheese anymore

 

he's a dork but I've like every movie of his that I've seen , I'll never watch his tv shows haha

 

A lot of my friends swear by The West Wing. I still need to watch it

 

Sorkin created Studio 60 cuz he thought SNL lost its cutting edge satire and felt he could make it better. Then the sketches in the actual show were abysmal

 

The Social Network is my favorite movie.

 

Social media was a very different thing back then, but the movie really shows how the outward facade of these sites being used to build community are really leading to more isolation and social pressure.

It is a shame that we haven't had the Fincher of Zodiac and The Social Network in so long.

 

Sports Night is fucking great. Get over yourself. A little cheese never killed anyone.
