The Social Network

I went and saw The Social Network yesterday, and I have to say I liked it... So much so... that if I was a movie critic rating movies out of a possible 4 stars... I'd easily give it 3.5 or possibly even the full 4. Since I'm not a movie critic, I don't feel the need to describe the movie to you. I do however want to say that I'm not sure I understand where people were coming from when they said that it didn't highlight Zuckerberg as being a really great guy. Which I left with a different opinion of him.
While the movie didn't really say if he did rat on his friend about the chicken, which I'm thinking no one really is sure... and only Mark himself could answer that question. Everyone was saying that he was a womanize and such... which... again... I didn't see... the people he was around definitely were... He seems more socially inadequate to do such things on his own to me. Honestly... I left the movie relating him more to me than anything. Granted I'm not nearly as brilliant as he, but could easily make the argument that we're both socially inept. The level of tech speak in the movie was also impressive, shows that the writers actually did some research and talked to some real geeks to get the script right in some of those scenes... and admittedly... I have also performed such wget trickery among other various things... which is all I'll say about that.
I love watching Survivor simply because of that human element, I revel in the deceit people on the show perform for each other... how fake they are to each others faces, with the individual camera time, having it all come out. Even tho, that part of their persona can be complete bullshit as well. I have to imagine I wouldn't last long on that show...
That is the extent of "Reality TV" I watch. The rest, I can't stand. The Social Network, I loved, and will buy it so I can watch it again... and again.
