I'm seeing The Social Network on Sunday. With a Q&A afterwards with Aaron Sorkin, Justin Timberlake, and the guy playing Zuckerberg who isn't Michael Cera.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I got a few chuckles out of this:

What I really want to know is if Aaron Sorkin talks like his characters. And if I can touch Justin Timberlake.

They had a special screening like that on campus here last week, and I missed it, because I'm out of it. We got Sorkin, but we didn't get Timberlake or backup Michael Cera.
The Sorkin money quote in the student newspaper:
“There’s this narcissistic part of social networking,” Sorkin said. “This, ‘I’m doing something and I need to tell everybody that I’m doing it right now’.”
Jess, if you touch Timberlake, I'll be jealous. No one is more shocked than I am about that.

Salon has an article about OK Go's latest video and the author proposes that they could save the movie musical. Interesting premise and thesis of the article, but OK Go's video is really awesome.
I am not a dog owner, but I marvel at how much time and training was involved to do this choreography:
