Not enough has been said about Andrew Garfield in this movie, he's the heart of it, without his performance it doesn't work. Not to mention he got to rip into the dialog that makes up the most memorable scene.

Now Three Kings we can certainly agree on, it's one of my all time favorites.

Funny, because the biggest problems I have with The Hobbit movies are all over The Two Towers and nowhere to be found in The Fellowship of the Ring.

And yet, The Social Network is much more about real life relationships, arrogance of youth and seduction of success destroying those relationships all played out in a litigative battle of unreliable narrators. Hell, the writer of the movie hates most things like Facebook as well, to illustrate my point.

Honestly, I think this is where the film's image of Zuckerberg comes from, Sorkin sees social media as so inhuman that the idea that someone created it as a way of connecting to people only makes sense if the person that created it so misunderstands friendships and relationships in real life. Not to mention that the…

My favorite Beatles song no less.

Yeah, it boggles my mind how people fall all over themselves for the latest obvious CGI effects, and never give attention to the successful ones. The ones that do their job and you never notice. Now, yes, that's the point, but in this case I mean even people talking about how a movie was made. Zodiac is the best…

So a movie has to be quotable for it to hold your attention? Or it has to be a rollicking plot boiler?

The Social Network is a litigation he said/they said story about arrogant young people, they're the ones telling you how important and groundbreaking what they're doing is. It holds my attention because of how electric the performances are.

If there's a more consistently fawned over studio filmmaker than Fincher I can't think of one.

There will always be financiers for outsider projects, just as there are plenty of backers worldwide for filmmakers that don't tick the necessary boxes to be deigned "worthy" of Oscar consideration. Studios would likely be out of the game, but then they probably have undue influence on maverick filmmakers even in…

He almost undid any good will I had for him as a director on television with all of those useless Dutch angles. His camerawork only got worse for Les Miserables.

I'm here to make you a bit less of an outlier.

To me though there are plenty of flaws in the last film, The Two Towers is the real problem in that series.

It's amazing that science has managed to finally rid us of the shackles of subjectivity and can now render taste into objective bests.

Why does anyone that actually cares about a medium care about people judging it with awards? All awards have their niches and politics, and even if you could somehow properly "judge" the entire breadth of a year in an art-form it shouldn't have any bearing on public or personal opinion of individual projects.

Sadly that's the problem, while it used real people as its stage, it was never intending to be docudrama, but it was too famous/recent a story not to endure that kind of comparison.

My reaction in the theater was: "Hey this is my favorite Beatles song", followed quickly by "Whoa, they spent a ton on licensing this, original Beatles recordings are never in movies".

Personally I'd switch The Master and the other two if those are the categories being discussed.

I like it better than Fight Club, but I like Zodiac more than all his work. Though they make a nice pair of projects about obsession together.
