I re-watched The Social Network, realized that Andrew Garfield didn't get an Oscar nomination for it, and then got really mad.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 emerged victorious over Mank in one of the Golden Globes categories, and David Fincher handled it quite well.
The Social Network, that insatiably entertaining indictment of the very device you're reading this on, ends on a beautifully ambiguous image: Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), the founder of Facebook who seems to have won everything, endlessly refreshing the unanswered friend request of the woman (Rooney Mara) who inspired his ascent/descent. Do we need another take on Zuckerberg's generation-shifting, conscience-destroying social network? Well... maybe. Because, per the Happy.Sad.Confused podcast, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has an idea he's jazzed about — under one condition.

We may not have the full list yet, but we know what topped Quentin Tarantino’s list of the Best Films of the 2010s. The Oscar-winning filmmaker has made no secret of the fact that he loves to create ranked lists of movies, meticulously putting together a Top 10 each year. But for 2019, he revealed on The Rewatchables podcast that he was doing a deep-dive into rewatching a bunch of films from the 2010s to come up with his list of the best movies of the decade. During an interview with Premiere Magazine (which is in French), …
Parenthood alum Sarah Ramos has been recreating scenes from her favorite films and television shows while stuck in quarantine, and this week she asked her former Teen Wolf co-star Dylan O'Brien to take over Andrew Garfield's role in The Social Network. Garfield earned a Golden Globe nomination for his turn as Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, so O'Brien had some big shoes to fill, but to my great surprise, he actually does a pretty good job here. Ramos plays Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg as well as Justin Timberlake's Sean Parker, and O'Brien does …

Once upon a time, David Fincher was an unlikely awards darling. The filmmaker behind movies like Seven and Fight Club and Zodiac certainly made acclaimed films, but was rarely recognized in awards circles for his work. That changed with 2008’s epic The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, for which Fincher and his collaborators earned significant notice from various awards bodies, including a Best Director Oscar nomination. Suddenly it was as if David Fincher, 20 years into his career of moviemaking, had only just arrived on the radar of awards folks. And given his “arrival” on the awards stage, his …
Here are some movies you might like if you loved David Fincher's The Social Network.
The cast of David Fincher's Facebook drama has been busy since the film's 2010 release.
The Social Network, David Fincher's 2010 account of the foundation of Facebook, proved to be the decade's prophetic film. Here's why.
In an op-ed, The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin says Facebook did not want their name used in the Oscar-winning film.
Aaron Sorkin wrote one of the best movies of the decade with the scathing The Social Network. Although Mark Zuckerberg would like us to believe that the genesis of Facebook came about because he was just so gosh-darned concerned about the Iraq War and not a spiteful little dweeb who made a hot-or-not clone called Facemash, the events that led to Facebook’s creation were successfully chronicled in Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires and then adapted by Sorkin and David Fincher to provide a bit of sympathy to Zuckerberg but not so much that the …
A new parody uses The Social Network to compare Facebook’s huge influence with Jeremy Renner’s app, which was shut down after an attack by trolls.
Frat Boy Genius, an upcoming series that will air on the video platform Quibi, will focus on the founding and rise of Snapchat and its creator, Evan Spiegel.
