"Some members of the audience in Toronto fainted without injury due to the realistic amputation scenes."

I'm never watching this movie.

Now that he's given YouTube the finger and deals with the video hosting himself, he won't have to deal with DMCA struggles or "video processing" wait times, so I think this big release will probably go smoothly.

It's come up before.

We avoid comedies on the show because there's often not much to say other than to explain why the jokes are funny. IMO, it's essentially the same thing with THE ROOM. Talking about why a given scene, line, or performance is bad is pretty much just explaining the joke.

So anyway.

I think it's very much worth seeing. I actually have to agree with the reviewers who have said this is a film that defines this generation. Not in the sense that this is now the "David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK generation," but in the sense that the character of Zuckerberg (if not the actual person) is a representative of the people of his/our generation. He blogs before he thinks, succeeds before he's ready, and peers out at the whole world through the internet, realizing too late that the world is peering back. When it was first announced, the title THE SOCIAL NETWORK seemed like an amusing pretense to get around what everyone knew was actually "the Facebook movie." But having watched the movie, one could argue that the title isn't really referring to Facebook at all. (Multilayered titles! I love 'em!)

I'd just warn you to have patience through the opening scene. The characters talk too fast and the scene is dark and kind of greenish as if to say "YES THIS IS REALLY THE WEST WING GUY WRITING AND THE ZODIAC GUY DIRECTING WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN." But after that first scene they get out of your face and the movie stands on its own.

Yeah, I could be wrong, but something tells me that if they HAD consulted Zuckerberg, you'd be decrying the film as a sham vanity project serving as little more than a corporate mouthpiece.i Knd of a no-win.

I saw and liked it and will say more when I'm not posting from my phone.

The male lead in DARK KNIGHT was Christian Bale, hence Ledger is supporting. If the male lead was not Anthony Hopkins in SILENCE, who was it?

It's not a matter of screen time, it's about their significance to the story. Hannibal Lecter is clearly the most important character in Clarice's story -- there IS no story without him. Likewise, you can tell a story about Batman without the Joker -- but not without Batman.
