Until recently, the big question about David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin’s takedown biopic about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was whether it could live up to maybe the best trailer of the year . Now the film has finally screened and… forget the trailer! Can the film live up to this much critical hyperbole?

RIP film culture, c. 1891 – 2010. It has come to this: Saddened and aggrieved by one critic’s approval of the once-unanimously loathed parody flick Vampires Suck , a troll militia has descended with their machetes and asthma inhalers to express its outrage. They are a fearsome, vengeful lot, and admittedly quite amusing once you get past the whole wrong-side-of-history thing. Taste the bile after the jump.

Scott Foundas has the first review of David Fincher’s Social Network , and not surprisingly (considering Foundas is on the New York Film Festival programming committee that made the film its opening-night selection), it’s a big, huge rave. ” The Social Network is splendid entertainment from a master storyteller, packed with energetic incident and surprising performances It is a movie of people typing in front of computer screens and talking in rooms that is as suspenseful as any more obvious thriller. But this is also social commentary so perceptive that it may be regarded by future generations the way we now look to Gatsby for its acute distillation of Jazz Age decadence.” That “bang” you just heard was the pistol officially starting the Oscar race.

Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot has taken a page out of David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo talent search by pairing one American with four foreign-born actresses in an attempt to cast Peter Parker’s love interest (who, FYI, isn’t Mary Jane). The current shortlist : Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, Lily Collins, Ophelia Lovibond and Emma Roberts. ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead was on the list, too, but unfortunately didn’t make the cut.) Based on previous experience , expect the role to go to Roberts. [ THR /Heat Vision ]

And neither will Ellen Page, Emma Watson or Carey Mulligan . Page Six reports that director David Fincher is dead-set on hiring an unknown to play Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . That means it’s down to the same list of usual suspects that it was in July (Rooney Mara, Léa Seydoux, Sophie Lowe and Sarah Snook). The only bit of actual news here: Fincher will likely have to make a decision on casting before Labor Day. Hold your breath! [ Page Six via Vulture ]

A few months shy of his 40th birthday, Nicolas Winding Refn has already directed a trilogy (the Pusher series), a biopic of England’s most violent criminal ( Bronson ), and has flirted with Hollywood projects featuring A-listers including Harrison Ford and Keanu Reeves. He is preparing to shoot the mainstream thriller Drive with Ryan Gosling, and he famously wants to make a megabudget adaptation of Wonder Woman . So with all this going for him, what is it about his gritty, nasty, surreal new Viking film Valhalla Rising that makes it the prolific Refn’s personal favorite?

Did the recent, eerie trailer for David Fincher’s Facebook movie The Social Network make you feel bad about spending so much of your life in front of a computer? It’s more than a little ironic, since Fincher clearly spends so much time in front of his.
