Movie Synopsis:
Every age has its visionaries who leave, in the wake of their genius, a changed world – but rarely without a battle over exactly what happened and who was there at the moment of creation. In The Social Network, director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin explore the moment at which Facebook, the most revolutionary social phenomenon of the new century, was invented — through the warring perspectives of the super-smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception. The result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction; one that purposefully avoids a singular POV, but instead, by tracking dueling narratives, mirrors the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships that define our time.
Drawn from multiple sources, the film moves from the halls of Harvard to the cubicles of Palo Alto as it captures the visceral thrill of the heady early days of a culture-changing phenomenon in the making — and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart. In the midst of the chaos are Mark Zuckerberg (JESSE EISENBERG), the brilliant Harvard student who conceived a website that seemed to redefine our social fabric overnight; Eduardo Saverin (ANDREW GARFIELD), once Zuckerberg’s close friend, who provided the seed money for the fledgling company; Napster founder Sean Parker (JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE) who brought Facebook to Silicon Valley’s venture capitalists; and the Winklevoss twins (ARMIE HAMMER and JOSH PENCE), the Harvard classmates who asserted that Zuckerberg stole their idea and then sued him for ownership of it.

Love this song!
I read somewhere that Trent watched the film Natural Born Killers over 50 times to help write the soundtrack. Did you watch The Social Network anywhere near as many times to help write it? And how different was this to the NBK soundtrack?
oh! a great interview
i could care less about this movie but i can’t wait for the next NIN album :D
Ditto.
Except that there isn’t going to be another NIN record. Or so we’re told.
Actually all trent did was say he wouldn’t tour anymore. “Theme for Tetsuo: The Bullet Man” was released after the announced “break up.” I mean, honestly, nine inch nails was the best touring band ever, but if wants to lay back and just make awesome music i don’t care what name he’s using. He is nine inch nails.
That’s not accurate. We’ve been told Trent won’t be touring for the immediate future. It’s fully within the realm of possibility that he may release another NIN album in the next couple years. I hope he does but the man deserves a break to relax with his wife and enjoy life.
Oops, I meant for the foreseeable future, not immediate future.
Trent has said that after HTDA he plans on creating new music for NIN. If he puts out a new record he’ll most definitely tour.
NIN is not dead.
-And whatever happened to the Year Zero tv series?
