"The Social Network" and the emptiness within a desperate attempt at communication

I really didn't want to like it, not really sure why, but I really didn't want to jump on board. However, I liked it. "The Social Network" won me over within the first ten minutes. It's a fantastic film. David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin really manage to capture the desperation behind Facebook.com in a very real film that manages to define my generation (whether or not we like it). I'm finding it oddly difficult to write the review though. Having troubles arranging my thoughts in a fairly intelligent manner. I have 288 poorly written words and I feel like a twelve-year-old trying to appear adult. Actually, now that I think about it, I've felt that way for the past two weeks. Looking for an affordable place to live while trying to build a decent writing portfolio, dangerously close to actually getting my diploma and being faced with Graduate School, I have no idea what I should be doing with myself. I suppose that's where we all are though; in a place of strangely contented confusion. At least I'm not alone.

Continuing my current obsession with The National and the always-current Muse (what I wouldn't give to run my fingers through Bellamy's hair...maybe some of his musical genius would rub off), here's some videos.

Muse - "Space Dementia"


The National - "Slow Show"
