Line 18:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
** "[[The Beatles|Baby, you're a rich man; baby, you're a rich man...]]"
** Especially notable since it is almost unheard of for Apple Records to allow an original Beatles recording to appear in a non-Beatles film (barring of course [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off
** Some would argue the whole soundtrack by [[Nine Inch Nails|Trent Reznor]] and [[The Book of Eli|Atticus Ross]] qualifies as well, especially "Hand Covers Bruise" and "Intriguing Possibilities." ''Especially'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD8EPdn5Ctg&feature=related the cover of Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King."]
** 14 Ghosts II from ''Ghosts I-IV'' playing during the interview with Sean Parker. This troper applauded such a job well done.
Line 24:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Armie Hammer and Justin Timberlake were given considerable acclaim for their roles.
* [[Fandom Rivalry]]:
** Fans of the film look set to be duking it out with primary Oscar rival ''[[
** And that's not even factoring in the rabid ''[[Inception]]'' and ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' fandoms.
* [[Gratuitous Special Effects]]:
Line 30:
** The filmmakers [[Word of God|said]] they originally planned to cast twins, but couldn't find 6'5", 220-pound twins who could act and be believable as champion rowers.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:
** In ''[[
** And it's satisfying to compare the current state of Facebook with Mark's original vision. Now that anyone can join, not just Ivy League college students, it's not exactly the elitist, exclusive social club he thought it would be. In fact, many people on there are simply [[Too Dumb to Live]]. [http://www.lamebook.com/ See for yourself.]
** To paraphrase Zuckerberg, he's probably too busy having sex with numerous women on his gigantumous pile of money to be particularly bothered by this.
Line 41:
** Christy may count as well, even if she's a total nutter. I mean, her ''face'' just before Eduardo breaks up with her...it's both creepy and "Awww..." inducing at once.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The scene where Mark gets passed a note, reads it, and looks out to see who passed it to him. [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/zuckerberg-note-pass Behold!] [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-social-network-poster-parodies The movie poster gets parodied a lot, too.]
** [http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_m08jhsBDdv1r7838ko1_1280.jpg These] [[Dr.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: "''Interns?''" Mark admired and defended Sean, but was visibly uncomfortable with his ''interest'' in a young intern working at Facebook. The fact that Sean's arrest at a college party involved several interns, all underage, was unforgivable and inexcusable to Mark for more than just PR reasons.
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Some people characterize it to be a demonization of Mark Zuckerberg, when he's portayed somewhat sympathetically, having some good qualities, along with some bad ones.
