my facepalm moment of the day

I think I have been stockholmed into TSN fandom without EVER SEEING the movie, in the shortest amount of time it has ever taken a fandom to interest me. Especially since I am still not planning on ever seeing TSN.

I blame, in no particular order, harriet_vane, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, and the ridiculously earnest and dorkily charming Jesse Eisenberg.


OK. NyQuil. Tea. An entire box of tissues. A copy of Mysterious Skin. I think I'm set for the evening.

Oh, I get that, but I think you would enjoy the movie. I am not a big fan of facebook myself, but seeing the movie had no real bearing on my opinion of Zuckerberg. I didn't think of him much before I saw it, and I didn't think much of him after I saw it. There is nothing in it that would force you to have sympathetic feelings for him.

Obviously, I have no stake in whether you see it or not, but I thought it was a great movie about relationships. I'm a big fan of both Fincher and Sorkin, and they are at the peak of their game in this. As part of that, the movie doesn't really take sides. It manages to present everything fairly evenhandedly. Plus, the performances are all great. I'd recommend Netflixing the DVD and checking out the movie, and if you hate it, there's always the awesome commentary. :)

Hm, maybe. I really like much of Sorkin's work, but the topic of this movie put me off. Maybe. It can't hurt to add it to the queue. :) Thanks for the advice!
