What's up dudes, havent posted in awhile because ive been kind of swamped with everything, and havent been feeling to hot. Movies of the week are The Social Network, Ex-Machina, and TV show Billions. Social Network is a David Fincher movie, written by Aaronb Sorkin, about the Facebook, as it was knonw, and the life of CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg. Its a really cool movie, not just for people who are into computers, but it details the start up business in general, and is portrays the early 2000’s very well. The dialouge, as with all Sorkin, is awesome, and all the speeches, comebacks, insults, and conversatiopns are written to perfection, however, soemthimes its too perfect as the dialpouge can sometimes sound forced and unauthentic. Furthermore, Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Zuckerberg, and the other actors give great performances. I dont like justin timberlake, but he doesnt really take away from the movie. Ex-Machina is a really cool movie about the creation of advanced artificail intelligence (robots). Full of suspense, really cool lighting, and camerawork, and great ideas (i dont know) The one part with the razorblade and the mirror is a total mindfuck, those who watch the movie will know what im talking about. Also, Issac Brook (edit, i mean Oscar Issac, Issac Brook is the frontman of modest mouse), the man who created the robot, Ava, is very convincing, and a character who at first i loved, then i hated, then i loved again. Furthermore, Ava is very cool and is revealed at the end to be a cold calculating murderous death machine at the end of the movie. Furthermore, how did she get all the way from the Yukon to a street corner in NYC on one charge? Finally, Ive been watching Billions, another Sorkin thing. Its a show about THe attorney genreal of New York, (Paul Giammati) trying to take down the extremely wealthy and charismatic hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod (Damien Lewis) for insider trading. Cool vistas, acting is good, the dialouge is a bit unbelievable, as with social network and Sorkin. THe story twosts and turns, and the suppproting cast is great. Also theres alot of Metallica. (theyre Axelrod’s favorite band, and James Hetflied makes an appearcane). That brings me to my next topic, the tunes of the week. The Strokes, Tapes ‘n Tapes, Guns and Roses (!) and Zeppelin, and Slint. Last friday I went to a Neck Deep concert, then I came home and listened to the enterity of the Strokes discography, until 1.30. The first album, is this it, is my favorite overall, it has really no filler except for maybe Soma, which is still a good song. Also when Ca.
