I like the old SNL and have some of the old seasons on dvd. I will check this episode out though.

Yes, SNL was good! I hadn't watched it in a while. You could definately tell how nervous he was but the skits where funny especially the Mr. Wizard one, and the Frankenstein one I had heard that Zuckerberg would appear, his line on inventing 'poke it' was great. I loved Lorne Michaels reaction! I think Zuckerberg alone would make a great host to SNL.

He was great on SNL this past weekend! It's been years since I've had so many laugh out loud moments watching Saturday Night Live. It was hilarious when he, Andy Samberg and the REAL Mark Zuckerberg all stood together onstage and did their Mark Zuckerberg imitations! :rofl: Jesse Eisenberg and the SNL cast also did a parody of the old "Mr. Wizard" kid's science show that was hysterical! If you missed it, try and catch it online. It was a scream.

I liked Zombieland. Definately has some entertaining moments. Woody Harrelson is really great in it. It starts off really strong, fizzles a little bit towards the middle and end, but it is entertaining to watch.

He has a few funny moments in Adventureland, too. Haven't seen Zombieland, is it worth a check out?

Jesse Eisenberg will host this Saturday's SNL. Should be interesting...:/ I like him as an actor and all, but never saw him as quite the comedian myself. Although Zombieland was quite funny at parts.

Yeah, it's probably that "it" thing and I've been so long on Facebook by now, I'm already past it. LOL

The first Twilight movie also has an unusual score and obviously noone ever cared about that one. Not that I'm saying the Facebook one sucks, but with music it's either you like it or you don't. Just sayin' ...

It's just a timely movie, Oscars & Golden Globes are all politically inclined. Mark Zuckerberg and facebook are the 'it' topics this year. I'm no expert, but I think that's why it won the Golden Globes and might when the Oscar. I actually thought The Fighter had a good chance too.

As far as the music, If you re-watch the movie, try listening to the music in a different way. It's definately an unusual score, I could see how some don't like it, but I think the way it is used enhances the movie experience. At fast parts you'll notice the speed of the music energizes the film, and then does the same for slow parts. It's funny. When I listened to the soundtrack at the bookstore I didn't like it at all! However,I love it in the movie. It adds so much to the pace and flow.

I want The King's Speech to win even though I haven't seen it yet, I just don't get why The Social Network was so successful at the Golden Globes. The music was totally weird, why did THAT win???
I mean, it's a good movie and I kinda like it but to me it's not Golden Globe or Oscar material ...

I know. Thinking it might go to The Social Network just because its more timely. Time period movies are always nominated but hardly ever win.

The Oscar contest is most definitely between The Social Network and The King's Speech. Not sure which way it will go though.

I agree Deb! definately was excited for him, David Fincher, and Trent Reznor. Glad they recognized Jesse & Andrew but how could you win over Colin Firth in the King's Speech Happy it got best picture. Golden globes are usually good predictors for oscars. Do you think it will win an oscar too?

I"m thrilled for Aaron Sorkin winning for best screenplay! I kind of assumed he'd win all the big awards this year. He's one of my heroes. Probably the best writer working in film/TV today.

Justin Timberlake is great in both Social Network and Alpha Dog. Nsync was never a favorite of mine, but I did like them better than the backstreet boys I heard Yogi Bear wasn't very good. IT got horrible reviews. I agree Deb, both characters were incredibly annoying, I never really liked the cartoon.

I did end up buying it this week. Can't wait to watch it later after the golden globes
