The Social Network Is An All-Time Great Movie, And I'm Certain Of That Now More Than Ever

They were wired in. The Background: Riley Utley is the Weekend Editor at CinemaBlend. She has written for national publications as well as daily and alt-weekly newspapers in Spokane, Washington, Syracuse, New York and Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated with her master’s degree in arts journalism and communications from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows Ted Lasso and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to Fire Country, and she's enjoyed every second of it.  What She's Into: Riley’s range in likes is random and wide, from Marvel to musicals and from Game of Thrones to the latest Netflix rom-com you can catch her watching just about anything. Her favorite movies include but are not limited to When Harry Met Sally, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Finding Nemo and The Grand Budapest Hotel. She loves going to the movie theater, consuming copious amounts of popcorn and logging whatever she saw on Letterboxd immediately afterward. She constantly walks around quoting Ted Lasso, SNL and Parks and Rec. She has been known to create the occasional PowerPoint explaining the MCU to those who don’t get it. In the non-media realm, Riley is a massive college basketball fan. She is a firm believer that the Gonzaga men’s basketball team is the best team of all time, and she is patiently waiting for the day they finally win a national championship. She grew up in Washington and loves skiing, coffee and making sure that people know she is from the state, not D.C.  What She's Excited About Right Now: Anything Taylor Swift or Andrew Garfield does, finally seeing strong female representation in the MCU and eventually seeing Jonathan Bailey sing his heart out in Wicked.

The official sequel is here, but another movie is dominating the conversation. The Background: Ryan graduated from Missouri State University with a BA in English/Creative Writing.  What He's Into: He loves all things horror. An avid fan of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Lifelong comic book fan. What He's Excited About Right Now: Ryan's really excited for House of the Dragon and Hulu's Hellraiser reboot!

Biopics have their own special challenge.

You have more than the bare minimum of my attention.

You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies, or something like that...

Talk about a strong candidate.

SORRY, MY PRADA'S AT THE CLEANERS!

The messed-up “love story” hit me different this time.

It took some doing.

Sorkin's locked in on this one...

This moment isn’t just 30%, it’s everything.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 emerged victorious over Mank in one of the Golden Globes categories, and David Fincher handled it quite well.

People get nostalgic for cancelled television shows all the time, but it’s not too often they get nostalgic for cancelled networks.

Genndy Tartakovsky is truly unstoppable. The Russian-American animator, who has created such beloved, critically acclaimed animated series as Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and the original Star Wars: Clone Wars (and directed three hit Hotel Transylvania movies) is back at it.
