Jesse Eisenberg was doing an accent in “The Social Network”? Him and Mark Zuckerberg are both from New York.

Yeah he sounded the same as he did in interviews

Maybe there’s someone out there who could’ve done a great Zuckerberg impression, but Eisenberg said, “It’s not me.”

pretty sure the author's saying jesse didn't even try to sound like zuckerberg

I feel like real accent is Sorkin-ese and in that sense at least, he's the best to ever do it.

But isn't Andrew Garfield's Brazilian/Miami accent more impressive? I feel like a lot of people were shocked he was actually British after that.

It’s more like an evocation, not mimicking but doing an artistic expression of his characters qualities, and yes I cribbed this description wholesale from the sexy accent guy Eric Singer on Wired’s YouTube channel.
