How can you *not* like Jesse Eisenberg, with that cute-as-hell Jew-fro?
I gotta see Social Network, glad it is coming to Netflix prior to the Oscars. I'm not so worried that it is heavily fiction. I can't think of any "based on a true story" movies that are meant to be exact accounts of what happened. That usually makes for boring movies, since life doesn't really progress in story arcs.

I didn't say that Tron was academy-award material, 'cos it isn't. It seemed to be one of those movies that pretended to be deep but really it was a silly excuse to show "look at what we can do with computer effects!" which hasn't really thrilled me since Jurassic Park. (for another example of such a movie, I cite The Matrix and Larry Fishburne's intense spewing of "deep" utter bullsh~t. Incidentally I liked Matrix 3 because it was just an action film with no such pretensions.) It just wasn't my cup of tea, even if it was yours. I won't think any less of you, I promise.

But it did make for an awesome episode of South Park. Scissor me timbers!
