The Social Network turns the nuts and bolts of the creation of Facebook – and the elevation of Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg in a complex and prickly performance) to the status of nerd godhead – into a thrilling, rippling comedy of manners about male vanity, social mores and the utter impossibility of transparency in the modern age. It’s also about an idea that takes over the world: that everyone wants everyone else to know exactly how he or she feels about everything, at any given moment.
Is it the best American movie of the year, as you may have been hearing? Maybe not. But it’s tremendously entertaining, an endlessly clever creation myth produced with immense skill and peppered with great one-liners from the pen of ‘The West Wing’ creator Aaron Sorkin.

The ByTowne doesn't have a parking lot of its own, but denizens of downtown can usually find street parking close by fairly easily.
This web site is very useful, but the hard copy of the ByTowne guide still has its merits. People rely on it and love it. Plus, its calendar pages can be pulled out and posted on your fridge door, something that we still can't achieve with the web site.
