Capsule Review: Social Network

[rinue]

Finally saw most of The Social Network (missed the very beginning). Some funny dialog, but overall I'm not impressed. I think the critics who touted it as an important film that will live on through the years have very poor perspective; I doubt it will stand out or age well. (Why is it everyone since Woodstock is terrified of missing the next generation's Woodstock? Not even Woodstock was Woodstock.) And I didn't really notice the score, which makes me sad; I love Reznor and it's the main reason I watched. Continue to think the real awards sweep last year should have been Inception; it was certainly the most ambitious.

Was a certain amount amused to be watching the week Google+ was all over the news.

I wondered about that. Plus, there's no distance yet. There doesn't always have to be, but it often helps.
