Watch Jesse Eisenberg Turn On That Mark Zuckerberg Charm in Sabotaged PSA
The proprietors at the Alamo Drafthouse -- a theater where texting/talking during a screening is considered grounds for decapitation -- asked Jesse Eisenberg how he feels about loud patrons at the cineplex. You'd think Eisenberg would roll with the idea and complain about such whippersnappers, but instead he rebelled and claimed that talking during movies helps build community. Oh, Jesse. Your weird social skills are the ultimate cinematic treat.
He's clearly being adversarial, but was it funny enough for the trouble? I guess I say yes. Still, his Zuckerbergian awkwardness is as bracing as any mumblecore dialogue of the past ten years. I'm shaking.

He's wrong. Talking during the movie (or taking phone calls, or texting) is why people don't go to movies anymore. Ill-mannered patrons are ruining it for everyone else.
Raise your kids with some f***ing manners!!!
...honey, this one's eating my popcorn!
Honestly, I thought it was required that I check Facebook while watching the Social Network.
