ANOTHER brilliant observation: True or not, where “The Social Network” misses the point is that it is ostensibly about the greatest communications revolution since moveable [SIC]
type.
And yet viewers come away with no sense of how Facebook users actually do communicate. And so what was supposed to be a zeitgeist movie is, instead, a vehicle for elite Hollywood’s talents to blithely, if unwittingly, demonstrate how out-of-touch they are with what’s going on out there.Out of touch, Wax? You SURE?
But we will say when a hack like the Wax refers to "the greatest communications revolution since moveable [SIC] type" we must keep our eyes peeled behind our backs.
