Your reading makes me want t...@YourRoommateIsRight<br /><br />Your reading makes me want to re-watch to see how I approach these questions the second time around. <br /><br />It's good and cool that the film supports multiple approaches. I think that Fincher and Sorkin stacked the deck too strongly--especially in that Summers scene--against the Winklevoss twins, robbing us of just a bit of the nuance and subtlety that the characters and the story naturally possess.Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539996482470317752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729917531829764563.post-11676115383612754182010-10-22T02:14:46.643-04:002010-10-22T02:14:46.643-04:00Summers comes across as snide and dismissive.
