    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.

    I know... Fincher is the man. I just find it funny for some reason.

    We need a girls gone wild movie ;)

    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.

    So when does the Twitter movie come out... :|
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I don't really get how this is a stretch for a movie. The story of Facebook and Zuckerberg is pretty incredible and while I am not a user, I do find it very interesting.

    The complete soundtrack is up on Amazon for $2.99 download right now, only for a couple days. Its worth getting. Trent and Atticus have not only composed 18 tracks, but they've reworked the classical piece In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg. Its worth hearing!

    What's to get? It's all opinion and personal interest pretty much.
    In this case I'm the opposite of you.

    To me, the fact that its Facebook is incidental. Its more a story of intrigue, relationships, business and money, and that's more why it interests me.

    How does your or someone elses lack of interest in a movie make it a stretch as a concept?

    The same way your interest in the concept makes it a good one?

    I don't know, but when they do...they've got to include a sub-plot about that dumb-ass girl that took a picture for Myspace in the bathroom but left a turd in the toilet.
