I DON'T WANT MY FIDELITY TO BE TO THE TRUTH; I WANT IT TO BE TO STORYTELLING: EW-and-elsewhere's Mark Harris talks to Aaron Sorkin, David Fincher and all the other principals (but mostly Sorkin) for a big New York magazine thinkpiece on The Social Network.

NETFLIX RECOMMENDS (MOVIES YOU'LL LOVE/HATE): Black Sheep. (Love)

Lavish stars on your favorite films in the zombie and lycanthrope genres, then give tentative thumbs-up to a few Shaun The Sheep videos (watched mostly out of nostalgia for the far superior adventures of Wallace & Gromit, perhaps) and Netflix may find the minerals to predict that you will also enjoy this un-rated 2006 indy splatterfest from (where else?) New Zealand.

It's campy. It's gorey. It's utterly preposterous. And it's satisfying in all they ways that the typical "SyFy Original Movie" fails to be. The writing is passable. The acting is passable. The special effects come out of an actual creature shop instead of a C-List CGI mill. The premise is Mansquito-quality genius and inspiration, but it's executed with all the craft and care that can be mustered given the limited funding and audience for this kind of endeavor.

All that remains to be said, really, is "Thanks."

I EXPECT THIS WILL BE MORE FEARSOME THAN LIONS OR PANTHERS: Based on its intriguing trailer, I was probably going to see Super 8 anyway, but that it will apparently star Kyle Chandler makes it even more interesting.

LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SOME PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY AND GET AN EMMY NEXT YEAR! With last night's announcement that Emma Stone will host SNL on October 23, seems that we have our first five hosts locked down--Amy Poehler, Bryan Cranston, Jane Lynch, Stone, and Jon Hamm, starting next week. That's 17 hosting slots left to fill--I'm sure we can do it.

WHERE'S MECHAGODZILLA WHEN YOU NEED HIM? Based on a comparison of video making the rounds of last night's "Brooklyn Tornado" and prior footage, I have come to the inescapable conclusion that Brooklyn was apparently attacked by a giant monster last night.

HE'S JUST A POOR BOY FROM A POOR FAMILY: Sacha Baron Cohen has been signed to star as Freddie Mercury in a Queen biopic being scripted by Peter Morgan of Frost/Nixon, The Queen and The Last King of Scotland fame.

DEREK CHEATER: There's wily gamesmanship, I suppose, and then there's outright lying:

Derek Jeter sold it like a professional, darting away from an inside pitch during the seventh inning on Wednesday, then shaking his arm in apparent pain while walking to first base.

Only later, after home-plate umpire Lance Barksdale had believed Jeter's self-described "acting" job and ejected Rays manager Joe Maddon in the process, did the Yankees' captain come clean about the performance he'd put on for the crowd at Tropicana Field.

"It hit the bat," Jeter said. "He told me to go to first. I'm not going to tell him, 'I'm not going to go to first,' you know? My job is to get on base."

As of right now, Jeter's only doing his job 33.0% of the time, and August is the only month this year he hasn't done it worse than the preceding month.

[Look: if you're going to cheat, don't brag about it. Is that such a hard standard to meet?]
