Tell me with a straight face that this doesn’t look like anything other than a parody of the first movie.

Jeremy strong has to be the biggest tool in Hollywood.


Which is saying something.

I use to like Aaron Sorkin a lot. But I don’t think he has it anymore.

I unironically agree with Jeremy Strong’s Mark Zuckerberg in that clip.

Looks fricking terrible... Same as it did 2 months ago when it was posted on this board.

Should have thrown whatever $$$ he wanted to get Eisenberg to reprise his role as Zuckerberg.

It’s fascinating how these people think political propaganda flows one way.

How were these scripts even written? We know FB and Twitter were caught with their thumb on the scales. I experienced it 1st hand! It's why I left Facebook!


Freaking clownworld.

Sorkin can do self-indulgent, romanticized dialogue well when the subject matter is only modestly polarized (ie, West Wing).

This is going to be a pile of garbage. When you put out a trailer where everyone immediately sides with the "villain" of the film, you're absolutely cooked.

TSN was so, so good and this is going to be a comically bad follow up. What's especially sad is there is a very real "look at what social media did to a generation" story to tell and you could do it in the subtle, dark, intellectually interesting and compelling way of the first one. But this is going to be election slop that only divorced sunflower cat ladies care about.

Patrice O'Neal would be tormenting Bill Burr if he was alive right now. I think if someone would have told him Bill Burr would become a complete waif of a man beholden to his wife, Patrice would have lost 200 pounds and kicked diabetes to the curb for the opportunity to trash him on a daily basis on social media.

Honestly his writing hasn’t really changed that much since his west wing days, the ideals of neoliberalism that he so desperately wants to champion are just so dead in the water that it just sounds way cornier in modern context. I think if west wing came out today people would be eye rolling the entire time and it wouldn’t make it past 6 episodes. And I don’t mean that to disparage the west wing, just think it only works for that specific time of American politics and pop culture.

I think the Newsroom is a pretty good proof point of that, the writing was just as slick and had the same world view, but the cringe outpaced style and substance.

Fincher was like a perfect match for him as a screen writer to get the dialogue sharp while constantly beating him into submission about being more subtle. There’s clips of him just dissecting every word of the original script to his face and being like “cut that shite down” basically


Him as a director/creative lead and writer really leads to expert levels of sniffing your own farts
