The Social Network (See it, dummy)

I watched The Social Network last night and was very, very impressed.  Considering Facebook has now become a normal part of our social fabric it was fascinating to watch its (supposed and alleged) beginnings.  Aside from the joys of its voyeuristic component, the film itself is amazing shot and written.  If you're a fan of Alan Sorkin (West Wing) you'll feel right at home trying to keep up with the dialog.  David Fincher (Seven) has directed what I think will win the Academy Award for Best Picture.  

The movie triggers great discussion regarding our Facebook/Twitter world.  I found myself getting quite philosophical post viewing.
