The Social Network

I mainly went to see this movie for the score. I had read that David Fincher told Trent Reznor to "make it cheesy sounding" and I love cheesy music, so I was curious. I was especially curious what "cheesy music" made by Trent Reznor would sound like. I'd also read that he recorded a version of In the Hall of the Mountain King, which I correctly predicted would be awesome.

Here it is:


I had been reading through the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and it seems like the 3% of reviews that are negative aren't really reviews of the movie per se. They read like they were written by people who are close personal friends of Mark Zuckerberg who got all butt hurt that the movie wasn't very flattering. This is not only lame because it has nothing to do with the quality of the movie (although I must say, I've never seen Mark Zuckerberg make the pouty faces that Jesse Eisenberg makes), it is also lame because it is actually not all that unflattering. This movie made me really like Mark Zuckerberg. Sure, he may not be pleasant company, but I like people who ditch the warm, fuzzy routine in the name of efficiency.

Also it's nice to see that Jesse Eisenberg has proven than he can be more than just a poor man's Michael Cera.
