I suppose I can see the appeal to the movie The Social Network although I bet I don’t ever see it. Facebook was an awesome idea back in college when it was a young social networking site geared towards connecting college peers. At this point, however, I have graduated college, moved on to other ventures in life and use Facebook for the purpose of whoring out my website and it’s posts .. that’s about it. Pictures are no longer public, people worry about what others can see about them, and the original idea of Facebook seems to have gotten a bit out of hand. Whether you decide to see the movie or not (apparently it has gotten some positive reviews as you will see below,) the soundtrack to the film is something to note.

From the Film Stage:

As previously reported, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor did indeed score David Fincher‘s The Social Network. Working with The Book of Eli‘s Atticus Ross, we have the first proof of that score as Sony just launched the official site for The Social Network. /Film has gathered the 46 new photos from the site if you want to check them out.

Reznor wasn’t kidding when he said it was “dark.” The score is minimal and brooding. I can’t wait to see how it fits into the film. If you haven’t already seen, Peter Travers said it was “the movie of the year that also brilliantly defines the decade.” Scott Foundas also had an extremely positive first review.
