DJ Earworm Mashup - United State of Pop 2011 (World Go Boom)
This makes me happy.
“‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful love song of the past fifty years can be traced back to ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding. Trust me. I’ve thought a lot about this.”

Sufjan Stevens - For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti
Who can call us father, who can call us son? If we have regarded ourselves abandoned by whatever thing (a person, a lover, a parent, a false prophet, ourselves) then we have lost touch with the great family, ourselves, all of us together, on this great place called Planet Earth.
Who is your neighbor? He is your brother. Who is that stranger? She is your mother. The man downstairs hammering on the wall, the woman blow-drying her hair in the bathroom down the hall — these people are your family.
Have you lost your mother to death? Have you lost your father to disease, to war, to alcohol, drugs, a car accident? Nothing can replace them. They have been made known completely in death, to whatever supernatural landscape (who can say for sure?). Until then, it is our hard task to welcome the widows, the children, the orphans, the fatherless into our family. What little effort it takes — a friendly nod at the stranger on the street, giving change to the vagabond, saying hello or goodbye, opening doors, keeping our mouths shut. In the small things, the day-to-day gestures, the normal business of the day, we do the great work of the kingdom, which is to welcome each unlikely individual into the fold, one person at a time.

“Keep your eyes on Garfield — he’s shatteringly good, the soul of a film that might otherwise be without one. “
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone“All that changes thanks to Andrew Garfield’s turn as Eduardo, the film’s one decent entity whose pained face carries the weight of every personal and professional betrayal you can imagine.”
Erik Childress, efilmcritic.com“But the guy who really walks away with the whole show is Andrew Garfield. His performance as Saverin is sad, funny, and extremely powerful.”
Chris Osterndor, depauliaonline.com“The voice of reason to the driven inventor is Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose morals eventually divide the co-founders and best friends to the point of legal action. Between his turn in Never Let Me Go and the riveting emotional turmoil he suffers in Social Network, it won’t be surprising when Garfield picks up awards at year’s end - he’s fantastic.”
Matt Patches, ugo.com“Aaron Sorkin’s script is widely credited for creating these complex characters, but Garfield’s two best scenes are silent: the tears in his eyes when Mark asks him to come back to California and help build Facebook, and the slow rage building on his face when he learns he’s been cut out of the company. Eduardo always wears dapper suits, always knows the right thing to say, but Garfield’s gangly shoulders and wide open face always betray his startling youth. The Social Network is about boys trying to be titans, and Garfield nails the performance by constantly seeming caught between the two”
