I finally saw this last night. It wasn't a BAD movie: Reznor's score was magnificent, they didn't mince hacker jargon and it was interesting enough to sit through. It boggles my mind that it took Best Picture. Was 2010 really that bad for movies?

I should mention I was actually blown away by not only the technical correctness of the programmer jargon, but the fairly accurate representation of hacker wordplay, i.e. referring to the Winklevoss brothers as "The Winklevi."

I was happy to see that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won for the score they composed. Reznor has been one of the most forward thinking guys in the music industry, adapting to the new environment of leaks, torrents, and social networking, without resorting to legal threats against his fans (like Metallica or Gene Simmons for example).

Rather than 2010 being a weak year in film, could your taste differ from that of movie buffs/critics because I don't think I saw anything but top-tier reviews for The Social Network. I thought it was superb.

IMO, 2009 was a weakish year.

It wasn't an overt knock on TSN -- I just don't watch many movies, so I really don't know what to expect. Aside from the geek jargon and a bit of drama, I suppose I was surprised that it was Best Picture material. I think the only movie I saw on the big screen in 2010 was TRON Legacy, which was technically part of the 2011 movie year anyway.
