30 Day Movie Challenge - Day 30 \o/

I DID IT. Or, more precisely, I'm about to finish a meme! WOoooooOOT.

Day 30 - Your least favorite movie

( That's...kind of a bummer end to this meme. )

Finished! Woo hoo! Not finished with talking about movies, o'course, just with this meme. Speaking of movies, it looks like I have to revise my expectations of what is or is not over-hyped, specifically as regards Oscar-nominated movies this year. I went to see True Grit and The King's Speech after hearing nothing but rave reviews. I could see, through the hype, how they might be good; I just wasn't sure until I'd seen them how good they would actually be. Turned out to be very. Turned out they were worthy of the hype.

That left only one movie of three that have been practically canonized this year to watch: The Social Network. I have as much interest in Facebook as you might expect, being the only one I know without one under the age of 40. (Even quite a few of the people I know over 40 have them.) I was utterly uninterested in this movie and completely incredulous as to the adulation it received. I watched it last night with the most skeptical of attitudes, prepared to be both bored and underwhelmed.

The Social Network was...really good. Really, really good. ( I know. I'm scared, too. )
