"Last night, The Social Network star Justin Timberlake appeared on The Daily Show, while the movie's screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, made a showing on The Colbert Report. Although the two had different roles in what is commonly called \"The Facebook Movie,\" they have very similar takes on Facebook \u2014 in that they don't use it.\nTimberlake, for the most part, chatted with Jon Stewart about his boot business (it's a joke, watch the video), and spent precious few moments talking about the movie and social media at large. When he was asked to discuss the phenomena that is Facebook, he replied, \"Dude, I'm an actor and a musician. I have no idea.\"\n\n\n\n\nThe Daily Show With Jon Stewart\nMon - Thurs 11p / 10c\n\nJustin Timberlake\n\nwww.thedailyshow.com\n\n\nDaily Show Full Episodes\nPolitical Humor\nRally to Restore Sanity\n\n\n\n\nSorkin, however, spent more time on the subject of the movie and Facebook as a whole. When asked about the veracity of the movie he told Colbert that it was \"fiction. I'm sorry, fact!\" (Yup, the media is going to be debating that point for a while yet.)\nStill, the most interesting part of the interview came when Sorkin admitted to not using Facebook, explaining that social networking is more of a performance than a reality. \"Socializing on the Internet is to what socializing what reality TV is to reality,\" he told Colbert.\nHowever, Sorkin maintained that you don't need to be into social media to enjoy the movie (which makes sense \u2014 Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a good movie whether or not you dig game shows, and you can still enjoy Network even if you don't watch the news). \"It doesn't matter if you're on Facebook or not \u2014 love Facebook or hate Facebook,\" Sorkins said. \"That is irrelevant to whether or not you're going to enjoy this movie.\"\nThe Social Network hits theaters today. What do you think of Sorkin's views on social media? Do they ring true? Also, do you think it's necessary to be on Facebook to enjoy the film? Take a look at the videos and weigh in via the comments.\n\n\n\n\nThe Colbert Report\nMon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c\n\nAaron Sorkin\n\nwww.colbertnation.com\n\n\nColbert Report Full Episodes\n2010 Election\nMarch to Keep Fear Alive\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Sony Pictures Entertainment"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
