1. There was a dude in the credits named “Armie Hammer,” which was made even worse when I realized that was almost certainly a nickname for “Armand Hammer.” Oh, poor kid.

  2. This movie has the first accurate “hacking” scene I have ever seen in any movie in my entire life, like holy shit. And so what’s funny is, my thought is all, “that shows how banal a lot of hacking really is, as it’s just a matter of using simple tools and recognizing obvious patterns,” but then I wonder if that scene actually looks just like Movie Hacking Magic to people for whom “wget” and “apache” might as well be gibberish words.

  3. Okay, wow, up until I checked the credits, I thought Michael Cera was doing the acting job of his life as Mark Zuckerberg. But apparently it’s a totally different dude!

  4. I was going to make a joke about how Rooney Mara has the most football-oriented name in history, and then I looked at her imdb page: “Great-grandfather Tim Mara founded the New York Giants. Great-grandfather Art Rooney founded the Pittsburgh Steelers.” Oh. So… not a coincidence then.

  5. This movie restores my faith in Aaron Sorkin. Just as Studio 60 should have been a good show (look what Tina Fey did with the same premise!), this should have been a HORRID movie. But it wasn’t! It was kind of awesome! Because the dude can FUCKING WRITE. So I’m in for his next show, which is apparently on HBO, which is also apparently where that AGOT show is, which apparently means I’m going to need to pay for cable TV at some point, sigh.

  6. Seriously, what a note-perfect movie. Even little things like Zuckerberg referring to the Winklevoss twins as “the Winklevi” are like EXACTLY RIGHT.

  7. The parts of the movie where they are in clubs and the music drowns out their conversations? Irritatingly authentic. I wish I had worse speakers, maybe.
