I just saw this movie at an advance screening.

It was damn well done, but I'm not seeing any Oscar noms...

Great direction by Fincher, and Sorkin's screenplay is pretty well done.

    I really liked the book by Ben Mezrich that it is based on. Don't know how accurate it will be, but definitely looking forward to seeing this movie.

    Well, I'm not the biggest fan of facebook either, but the MOVIE is quite interesting and well-made.

    It's worth seeing regardless of your feelings about the site.

    How is the soundtrack? I thought the trailer with the choral version of Creep was amazing. Is the rest of the soundtrack that good? Is Creep even in the soundtrack?

    NIN did the soundtrack... i dont think its out yet... or i've been too busy to check if it is... but you can be sure it'll be awesome

    favorite band did soundtrack + one of my favorite directors directing + about my favorite website = good movie (hopefully)

    even trent said its a "dark" movie... that can only mean good things

    Creep wasn't in the film. However, the film began with the White Stripes' "Ball and Biscuit" and ended with "Baby You're A Rich Man" by the Beatles. Other than those, there really weren't any songs in the movie.

    The Reznor compositions were good, but, yeah, they were pretty dark.
