This Friday, theaters across the country are debuting “The Social Network,” the true story of how the world-changing, Myspace-destroying, time-draining, mega-site Facebook came to be. In honor of the movie, we decided to do our own little social experiment to see just how friendly the Facebook world really is.
We sent Alligator writers to Tuesday’s advanced screening of “The Social Network” at the Reitz Union, this year’s highly anticipated portrayal of the rise of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.
Fall television’s back in swing, and we’ve thrown out all the bad eggs and come up with the tastiest of TV lineups for your convenience.

Maybe your financial aid dispersement didn't go exactly as planned. Maybe you're stealing fruit from the dining hall to put breakfast on the table tomorrow morning. Maybe you're sneaking into dormitory floor bathrooms to save money on toilet paper.
After a weekend of heinous heavy lifting, vacuuming, organizing and more heavy lifting, I found myself questioning how I was still alive Sunday night during my weekly date with HBO. I'm sure many of you have or will find yourselves asking that same question during this moving season.
What kind of movie can you make in just a day?
When “Inception” came out, the general populace joined together in solidarity and screamed out in unison, “OHMYGODWTFBBQSAUCE!”
No, "Troll 2" has nothing to do with "Troll 1." No, this is not the best movie you will ever see. It is simply the best worst movie.
It has been nearly seven years since the final episode aired, but “Futurama” is back and better than ever.
Suicide, drug addiction, bestiality and glory holes. Dark and disturbing realities in our society, or a family-friendly pilot episode that is “very funny”? TBS aired its first original primetime animated series, “Neighbors From Hell,” on Monday.
No more season-ending cliffhangers, no more time travelling and no more Hurley episodes: Lost is over.
If there is one gleaming message in the desolate heart-puller that is “Vincere,” it’s this: marry a fascist and expect to get screwed.
Gleeks, the wait is over. The show that left America singing its high school heart out is back from hibernation, and not a moment too soon.
Hot. Tub. Time. Machine. These four little words bring together an awesome '80s atmosphere with the humor of the 2000s to transport movie-goers back to a time they barely remember.
Gaylord Focker, the leader of the Frat Pack and the guy from “Zoolander” who is really, really ridiculously good looking. These are all names that one uses to allude to comedic poster boy Ben Stiller.
You are cordially invited to a Mad Hatter’s ball. Don’t be late for this very important date.
Large brown eyes never packed so much emotion. Veined with burst blood vessels stained from tears and anger, just two women of the many affected by the 1994 genocide in Rwanda are portrayed in the documentary, "As We Forgive." AIM For Africa and Reitz Union Board Entertainment presented the film, directed by Laura Waters Hinson, Tuesday evening as the first part of An African Film Series in order to raise awareness to issues in foreign nations.
Admit it. Although your birth date falls in the late eighties or (gasp!) nineties, you still love the puffy-bright-tracksuit-side-ponytail-wearing-“Breakfast Club”-loving generation.
With the Sundance Film Festival closing out Sunday, many of the screened films have a few months before hitting theaters.
Remember when MTV aired shows that didn’t render its acronym a complete misnomer? If you, like me, were still in diapers when the “Real World’s” first season rocked the world of television, my guess is that you can’t. But today, what the network lacks in substance it compensates for with its remarkable ability to repackage the utterly talentless among us as entertainment. The ratings ploy of the season is the show that everyone loves to make fun of: Of course I’m referring to our orange-and-proud friends on “The Jersey Shore.”
