“Except for the hardly hang-able offense of a little too much CGI breath, there is not a weak element in this movie. I’ve heard criticisms of course — that it’s boring (have you seen a movie before?); that its characters are unrelatable (have you met people? are you a person?); or even further, that all the characters are “douchebags” (not the movie’s fault if you can’t read into subtext or understand acting … also, if you only like watching things where everyone is nice, I know this GREAT show called Wonderpets on Nickelodeon. It’s about animated pets rescuing other animated pets through the power of teamwork, you’d love it); and so on and so forth. Contrarians gonna be contrarians, but The Social Network is masterfully crafted from top to bottom.”

From my article on why The Social Network deserves to win Best Picture. I’m expecting some heat for this one, but damnit, I believe in this movie!
Also, I wrote it before the Oscar Nominations (though did get to throw in a reference to the SOTU last minute…) and before people started seriously considering The King’s Poop to be the front runner, so keep that in mind. Ugh. Shoot me now.
Anyway, read the rest on Film.com. Be gentle. The Oscars get me fired up. TSN FTW!

From an iPad in my bed,
I would like to offer an official welcome to The King’s Speech! To my Shit List.
Good work everyone, for setting up a feel good tv movie masquerading as an Oscar level film to upset The Social Network, a film 2000 words worthy of Best Picture - article will be up this…
