So I made the "mistake" of agreeing to (re)watch The Social Network and... y'know, I think I changed my mind. Like sure, the original intent of the movie is still dogshit and has aged worse than spoiled milk (it helps that the main subjects of the "biopic" are all well-known shitheads by now), but y'know? I think the movie actually becomes interesting/even good if you go with one thing in mind...

...if you've watched any of Aaron Sorkin's output, watch the Social Network again and just take into account that pretty much every single character trait found within all the male main characters is present within Sorkin!Zuckerberg... but as opposed to how you're supposed to like Jed, Josh & Sam (West Wing), Danny & Matt (Studio 60) and Will, Jim & Don (Newsroom), rare are the instances in The Social Network where you don't want to punch the shit out of Mark.

And it almost feels as though dear old Aaron had a revelation; that brief moment of clarity where he realizes "Maybe they're not telling it like it is... oh my god, am I just a bitter, irony-blind asshole?" while he was writing the adaptation to The Accidental Billionaires.

So yeah, fuck it: Some actual (albeit probably unintentional) goodness out of Sorkin. Anyway, read you later, alligator!
