First clip for Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg in ‘THE SOCIAL RECKONING’. In theaters on October 9.

The Rosetta Stone to understanding the work of Aaron Sorkin is the realization that the protagonist of every Aaron Sorkin script is Aaron Sorkin. The experience of Mark Zuckerberg, who has been with the same woman since he was in college, has three kids and is happy, is something that is alien to Sorkin and is perhaps beyond his ability to comprehend or imagine. Zuckerberg seems to be a guy who lives to work on his various projects, while Sorkin is a man who is defined by his appetites, a recovering addict who has repeatedly fumbled the bag with a string of beautiful women. Zuckerberg found a gray hoodie he liked, bought a closet full of them, and never thought about what to wear again, and he married his college girlfriend and probably never thinks about having sex with anyone else. He doesn’t build things to get girls, he just builds things because he likes to build things. Sorkin is the one who pursues professional success in order to gain access to beautiful women that he seems unable to form an enduring connection with. He is the one who is wealthy, alone and perhaps unfulfilled. When it came out, “The Social Network” seemed damning to Mark Zuckerberg. It defined him in the eyes of an audience who didn’t know him well, explained him, judged him, and put him in his box: He was the nerd who wanted to bang the prom queen, but no matter how much money he got, he’d always be a nerd, and — more than that — he was also an asshole. He could never be rich enough to make up for his deficiencies and he would never deserve or receive the true love he yearned for. Zuckerberg always seemed perplexed and frustrated by “The Social Network.” He has commented on being shocked at seeing Jesse Eisenberg onscreen wearing his exact clothes in a movie that completely misread his motivations and fictionalized his psychology. There was really nothing he could do in his own defense at the time — any protestation would have made him look vain and thin skinned. So, instead, Zuckerberg has just spent the last two decades living a life that is completely inconsistent with the kind of person the movie said he was and at this point, he has pretty clearly proven that “The Social Network” was Sorkin conjuring up a straw man, imbuing it with his own flaws, and then skewering it. “The Social Reckoning” is going to get a lot of good critic reviews and awards attention, but I am skeptical that a lot of moviegoers will want to pay money to sit in a movie theater and watch it. I find it hard to imagine that there is an audience that is interested enough in Mark Zuckerberg to want to see another movie critiquing him from a writer/director who misunderstood him so badly last time.

"Outrank backlinks burns your domain" I saw a few people sharing that last week (always with an agenda btw, mostly competitors) i looked at every site with Search Console connected grouped by backlinks received here is median Google clicks change since joining 0-9 links: +24% 10-49: +14% 50-149: +42% 150-399: +62% 400+: +115% my read: if your site receives more backlinks from Outrank ... 👉 it grows more some connected sites have SEO decreasing traffic (orange below), but most were going down before they started using Outrank. AND again, the more backlinks received by Outrank, the slower the decrease is Outrank is a net positive for your domain I run it myself on ALL of the websites in my portfolio
