Yet another clip from the highly anticipated "The Social Network" has arrived, this time with Justin Timberlake as Napster founder Sean Parker engaging in a morning-after verbal lobby with Stanford student Amelia Ritter (Dakota Johnson).We saw the film last week at the New York Film Festival and while we think it's grand entertainment, it's not the life changing cinema event some people would have you believe. It's an extremely accomplished genre flick, and while some people are already polishing the Best Picture Oscar for the film, we might need to remind them that a good chunk of Academy voters are older whose only knowledge of Facebook is what their grandchildren tell them. It should also be considered this kind of Oscar hype was leveled at "Inception" this summer before it leveled out; a lot can happen between now and February (with a small handful of films including "True Grit" and "The Fighter" still yet to screen for critics).
We probably don't need to remind you that "The Social Network" opens this Friday, October 1st. [MTV]
