[first lines]
Mark Zuckerberg:
Did you know there are more people with genius IQs living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States?
Erica Albright:
That can't possibly be true.
Mark Zuckerberg:
It is.
Erica Albright:
What would account for that?
Mark Zuckerberg:
Well first, an awful lot of people live in China. But, here's my question: how do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on their SATs?

I had an opportunity to see a free prescreener of The Social Network and I must say this film kept me on the edge of my seat the entire movie. It is a movie that moves quick and keeps your mind alert and absorbing the information.
The acting is great all around - the characters are pretty true to the real people. It can be enjoyed by both geeks and regular people looking for an entertaining movie.
I really enjoyed this movie and will see it again and again when it comes out on DVD.
This is one of David Fincher's best films to date (and that is a hard mark with having the great film library that he has)
So - Highly Recommended a Near Perfect Film About Facebook
