4 Edgy Family Situations Tackled in Last Night’s Parenthood: ‘It’s a Braverman Tradition’

During last week’s Parenthood , Sarah Braverman put her brother in a difficult situation by flirting with his supervisor over chocolate pudding . As delicious as that conversation may have seemed to them, it was a rotten dessert for Adam. He dealt with the ignominy by passive aggressively storing his resentment, only unloading fits of white, middle-class rage on Sarah days later for no apparent reason. The valuable lessons continued last night with the episode, “I’m Cooler Than You Think,” in which no character proved that they were cooler than you think.

Toy Story 3 Hater Armond White Didn’t Like The Social Network Either

Armond White is nothing if not predictable . His negative review of The Social Network arrived today, complete with thoughts on how David Fincher’s film compares negatively to the C. Thomas Howell classic, Soul Man , and shots at Noah Baumbach. “As played by pale-skinned, curly-headed Jesse Eisenberg,” White writes, “Zuckerberg may be the most obnoxious movie protagonist Noah Baumbach didn’t write.” Well, at least he liked it better than Greenberg ?

REVIEW: Social Network Brilliantly Explores the Facebook Frontier

By the time you read this, New Media — including its tenacious, multi-tentacled offspring, Social Media — as you knew it last year, last month or even yesterday, will no longer exist. The story of New Media is so perpetually new it’s being written and overwritten even as we speak. Shouldn’t movies — those lumbering, endangered beasts that, done right, take months and sometimes even years to make — be the worst mode for examining even just one angle of this quicksilver mirror world? What hope does a relatively old-school filmmaker like David Fincher have, as he takes on one of the most amorphous and ambiguous success stories in the Internet’s short history, of capturing lightning in a bottle?

Social Network Hype Round-Up: Mark Zuckerberg Outspends Everybody to Accidentally Promote Film

To paraphrase Full Metal Jacket , a day without a breathless scan of the Social Network superculture is like a day without sunshine. Or maybe Marion Berry said that about crack. I’m terrible with these kinds of things. But I’ll always have RSS. To wit:

Facebook Should Invent ‘Adore’ Button For Early Reviews of The Social Network

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?

First Social Network Review is a Rave

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.
