There is an obvious irony to The Social Network: the guy who created the modern template for friendship doesn't really have any friends, but if you want a film about the ramifications of on-line life, this movie comes up short; on the plus side, Jesse Eisenberg does a great job portraying a geeky nerd and Justin Timberlake does a great job portraying a cool nerd and Armie Hammer does a great job portraying the Winklevoss twins-- another actor had his face "digitally scrubbed" so that Hammer could be in two places at once-- and he steals the show . . . the twins are villains in the '80's style . . . reminiscent of Drago and The Shoot, with a dose of Yuppie blood, and the digital effect is so well-done that my wife and I had no idea they were played by the same actor while we were watching the film.

If I had any computer savvy I would scrub your face onto Frodo Baggins.
i'd scrub your face onto george clooney's body.
I watched this movie last night and I'm surprised that it was nominated for best picture. It wasn't bad by any stretch, but it wasn't particularly outstanding either.
it was like a very good tv movie.
