In case you missed it, 'The King's Speech' took home top honors at the Academy Awards last night, beating out 'The Social Network,' 'Black Swan' and good taste to win the award for Best Picture. Colin Firth's ability to stutter and be British earned him the Best Actor award he should've won for 'A Single Man,' while 'King's Speech' director Tom Hooper (inexplicably) won the award for Best ...

For our viewing pleasure, IMDB has posted all 93 minutes of a documentary on the making of David Fincher's 'The Social Network.' Titled 'How Did They Ever Make a Movie of Facebook?,' the film offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at how Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin sculpted their Oscar-nominated movie, along with interviews from Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and other cast members. ...

Jesse Eisenberg joked during his SNL monologue that he plays Mark Zuckerberg by speaking "in short clipped sentences" and keeping his head very still, but Professor (and must-read film blogger) David Bordwell digs deeper by exploring the eyes, eyebrows and facial behavior in Fincher's 'The Social Network.' Crucial to this moment is that nothing but Mark's eyes and lids move; he doesn't even turn ...

Oscar nominations were officially doled out this morning, and, as expected, 'The Social Network' picked up plenty of them -- eight, to be exact, including one in the vaunted Best Picture category. Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg earned him a nomination for Best Actor, David Fincher is in the running for Best Director, and Aaron Sorkin earned a nod for his original ...

Big 'ol surprise: 'The Social Network' just bagged four National Society of Film Critics awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenwriter and Best Actor (to Eisenberg, natch). Look forward to the 'The Social Network' taking home every trophy thrown at it. Did anyone even see 'I Am Love'? Or 'True Grit'? Or 'Winter's Bone,' or 'The King's Speech,' or 'Animal Kingdom'.... ...

It may not have been as impressive a figure as some had anticipated, but the $23 million that 'The Social Network' raked in during its opening weekend was still enough to give David Fincher's Facebook film the top spot at the box office. In the wake of the film's effusive critical reception, many analysts had projected 'The Social Network' to earn at least $25 million during its maiden ...

It turns out that Jesse Eisenberg has more in common with Mark Zuckerberg than you might think. In a recent interview with Reuters, Eisenberg, who stars as Facebook's CEO in the recently released 'The Social Network,' revealed that his cousin is currently an employee at Facebook -- and that Zuck knows who he is. Just as shooting on the David Fincher film was drawing to a close, Eisenberg's ...

We've all been reading (for what feels like a decade) about 'The Social Network' and Facebook's alleged damage control toward the alleged over-hyped script (i.e., the coke-and-bare-breasts scene which is now sans bare breasts). So what does Zuckerberg think of the movie? Does he wish Aaron Sorkin, David Fincher and Jesse Eisenberg would all fall face-first into a '2012'-esque fissure erupting ...

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. Flickr user mattcyborgelt's retro NES coffee table is fully functional, and comes equipped with power plugs for charging other gadgets. In case you weren't drooling ...

Although David Fincher's 'The Social Network' won't be out until its October premiere at the New York Film Festival, Film Linc (the fest's official pub) has released its first review of the biopic. Reviewer Scott Foundas describes it as a slick narrative with "rapid-fire yet plausible dialogue that sounds like what hyper computer geeks might actually say (or at least wish they did): Quentin ...

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. David Fincher's 'The Social Network' gets a full moody, 60-second TV spot, complete with a Kanye West score, champagne spraying and laptops a-smashing. [From: ...

Yawn. We need some more coffee. We just watched the first trailer spewed forth by the viral marketing machine behind David Fincher's 'The Social Network' that actually includes footage from the movie. And, you know, we're obligated to post it here, because it's a thing on the Internet about the Internet and there's just no way in hell a site like ours could ignore it. We've harped on the ...

Nerds everywhere are wetting their pants in anticipation of 'The Social Network' -- David Fincher's upcoming flick about Mark Zuckerberg and the birth of Facebook -- so we had to post the brand new teaser trailer. The super-cut of disembodied sound-bytes from the first trailer have been given faces -- er, more like avatars -- as the whole thing is done in instant message format. Trent Reznor's ...

The beginning of David Fincher's masterpiece 'Se7en' is bleak and haunting, one of the most memorable moments in the film. It not only lays the thematic groundwork for the rest of the movie, but, at the time of its release, changed the way credit sequences could be created. The grinding, gritty music trudging through the background is a lesser-known edit of Nine Inch Nails' mega-hit "Closer" ...

Last week, we got a look at the creepily cryptic poster for David Fincher's much-anticipated Facebook film, 'The Social Network.' The mug-shot-meets-iPad design may be unsettling, but it's also strangely intriguing. Surely, a brand new trailer would give us a glimpse of all the juicy mudslinging and backstabbing beneath Jesse Eisenberg/Mark Zuckerberg's icy cold stare, right? Sort of. The ...
