Today's film is a visit with one of the world's most successful assholes.

The Social Network (2010)

Of course the business titans of the early twentieth century were assholes too.

It is a long tradition.

But the billions poured in and some people got hurt. Like a war.

And so on.

I am not nor ever plan to subscribe to Facebook.

Mostly because of the asshole factor.

I wouldn't want to get into what I think when I hear people talk about their "page" and all.

Of course, I have my own page. You are looking at it.

The movie, yes the movie, is very well done. Jesse Eisenberg gives his all to the Zuckerberg persnonna and he avoids caricature. The whole thing is a pleasure to watch even while avarice and backstabbing go full throttle.

It is opera of course. Very old fashioned.

And we do know that sooner or later the soprano will die. Either pushed or voluntarily jumping off the cliff.

I got this to see Andrew Garfield again. I like him a lot.

I have seen this a couple of times so that makes it a 5 out of Netflix5.
