yeah probably couldn’t have said it better myself. the reason the social network is such a timeless film is because it’s not really about facebook. it’s about mark and edwardo’s relationship. it’s an amazing script pulled off by an amazing actors under the direction of a generational director.

you won’t have that without fincher, his collaborators like Cronenweth, Reznor & Ross, Wall & Baxter etc etc.

Okay, babbling about the TSN II announcement. Just me yapping

They had me at "Aaron Sorkin writes" and immediately half-lost me at "Aaron Sorkin directs". I bet it's because Fincher is working on the Tarantino film but like, Sorkin is at best an okay director. There's talks of a "new cast" which greatly worries me because this movie (The Social Network II) is not a TSN movie without Mark Zuckerberg. Aka without Jesse Eisenberg — WHO HAS ALREADY AGREED TO DO A SEQUEL — but also, that leads me to the fact this movie will supposedly be about The Facebook Files, and possibly January 6th (Facebook's involvement at least)? Both of which do not involve Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) which... Makes me a bit worried in a way?

A massive part of TSN was Eduardo and Mark's relationship, and part of what made it so charming and drew you in. If this movie is taking place in 2020-2021, there's going to be no Eduardo. Unless Sorkin pulls some creative liberty strings like the first movie. Except in the first movie, they were mostly realistic creative liberties and had no massive impact on how the story was presented (minus the 10%/3% thing but you know.)

But with this, there is no way to implement Eduardo without rewriting things. I'm sure it can be pulled off without him, but I'm just worried about the dynamics of the movie I think. Also, sequels rarely meet expectations with their predecessors. I do not expect this movie to meet the bar that the first movie met, but there's so many factors going into this that just make me worried? Like, I'm going to watch it and love it regardless but there's so much building on this. It's going to be a massive hit-or-miss

#i can’t say i’m excited to see this #but i’m not shocked that Sorkin is trying this #he tried to replicate fincher’s style in the trial of the chicago seven and….#tsn #the social network #the social network 2010 #david fincher #aaron sorkin #the social network ii

obsessed with the fact that the term Tumblr Sexyman officially has its own Wikipedia page but this single sentence in it hit me like a bus
