it’s the end, the way he says “Teddd”

that was excellent. And the zombie that clacks it’s teeth in his face still haunts my sleep...

am the only one who enjoyed the first movie? (I hadn’t read the book, so perhaps that helped.) There where some seriously cool scenes (Brad’s solution to the Israeli soldiers bite; the SPOILER ALERT dude who accidentally shoots himself; a summer blockbuster movie with a final scene that was quiet and underplayed was a…

I’m the reverse: I don’t know Keown but i’d spot Austin a mile away, that has to be his work. Really nice. 

...but Lena Headey is so hot....

must have been one helluva tax break.

...and fictionalizing Hearst probably led to a better movie too. 

those are really good points and I’d love to have seen them explored in the movie, but I found they where dealt with obliquely, if at all. (I said downthread) I wanted the movie to be about the impact of Facebook - socially, politically, even in it’s first few years - and not just a behind-the-scenes creation myth.…

yeah, thats a projection, but I suspect it’s going to be a huge deal in the un-whitening of mainstream cinema. 

sorry, typo: I meant Avengers 3. I think it’s going to be the defining MCU movie - it’s impact went so much further beyond pop culture.

ha! Sorry, yes, typo: I meant Infinity War, and I lost count. (Civil War feels like Avengers 3!)

totally agree - it could have worked, if he had done a slight variation on his Zuckerberg portrayal, but not a Jim Carrey vamp.

...and would anyone say that Eisenberg actually became Lex Luthor? He was entirely unconvincing.

defining, but not necessarily my favourite of the last ten years?

I’d really prefer to read an article of the same length convincing me that Social Network actually is a masterpiece. Good movie, but “one of the defining films of the decade”?

he really should have killed he when he had the chance.
