The Social Network review

[omgitskatharine]

If I take off my feminist hat, I am here to report that The Social Network is a very good movie. It will be at the top of the Oscar heap and might go all the way to the finish line. One reason is because it taps perfectly into the current zeitgeist of our culture

done. sorry about that.

Ughh, please tell me Stephen Colbert was privately thinking, "WTF what a misogynist" in his head.

I think I'll wait to rent this or until it's on TV. I keep hearing how people feel sorry for Zuckerberg in the movie and I just think "Really? Please tell me why?" After reading this, I still don't get it.

I didn't feel sorry for Zuckerberg as much as I felt bad that a friendship fell apart in an absolutely terrible way over something as petty as who to let advertise on Facebook.

i didn't feel bad for him at all.

i felt bad for eduardo

That entire interview consisted of me flailing about incoherently. God, I love Stephen Colbert. HE KNOWS ALL THE WORDS TO "FINISHING THE HAT" FROM SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, FOR FUCK'S SAKE. AND HIS MANDY PATINKIN IS NOT BAD EITHER.

UNF.

*Ahem* But yeah, I am so glad that Stephen took him to the task about the women in that movie. I won't be seeing it soon, as I'm on the wrong continent, but I've heard about that from a couple of different sources and I'm glad that someone asked him point-blank about it.

Aaron Sorkin's backpedaling sucked, though.

Stephen Colbert's wife is an extremely lucky woman. --> jealous

It seems Aaron Sorkin is entirely capable of writing strong female characters but he only randomly includes them.
