A Note
Now, I haven't written anything in awhile, but I have to say that I'm psyched that people are giving props to Jesse Eisenberg. I first noticed him in Adventureland, a lip-bitingly average movie with an acceptable cast and cute storeline. However, I first realized that I was a fan when I saw him in Zombieland, a combination awesome monster flick/Woody Harrelson masterpiece. I said to my friends "it's Michael Cera with talent and a variety of emotions!" (I should note that I like Michael Cera, and loved Arrested Development.)
Eisenberg is one of those actors who I believe and want to see become a star (or at least, frequently cast). I have yet to see "the Social Network", and have no interest in the story itself. However, I am psyched to see what is being lauded as a great performance. I'm a huge movie nerd that hasn't seen a movie in awhile due to the stress of a mediocre life, but I'm going to drag myself out of it long enough to show fiscal faith to a promising actor (although I'll be out soon after to see "Red" because... well... how can you not?)
The end of my little pro-actor rant. For a full list of favorite actors and actresses that I like, see the next time I get dorky enough to write something.

You haven't seen The Squid and the Whale, have you? It was the first thing I saw him in. It's a seriously awkward movie but one of the ones that has never strayed far in my thoughts. Thinking back on it now and lining it up with his other credits I'm kind of taken aback at how fantastic he is. Another one of my favorites is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, for the same reason.
Also... see The Social Network. It sounds stupid (a movie about facebook, already?) but was so incredible, and beautifully done as well.
I plan on seeing the Social Network, and Gordon-Levitt's one of my favorites too...
Haven't seen the Squid and the Whale, maybe I should... first, though, I have about ten movies I've seen that I have to rewatch, and then at least ten classics I have to see for the first time... it's going to be a busy week.
