Fincher's "The Social Network" Trailer

[PHEDG]

A story about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook.

I'm intrigued. Fincher is worth a ticket alone.

[Ed Hocken]

Agreed,

Someone had pointed out the trailer was similar to The Game. I don't see the resemblence.

[Abraham Smashington]

Not impressed...yet. I mean, it's just sound bytes and shit. Show me that Eisenberg is gonna do something that isn't just "Eisenberg as Eisenberg as Cera as Dude who created Facebook"

[Ed Hocken]

My thing is that while Sorkin can do really good stuff. This whole thing seems like something that would be a good HBO or tv movie.

That's how I felt about Charlie Wilson's War.

[Abraham Smashington]

I bet we're gonna get some "crazy" camera tricks where the camera flies into the computer and we see MATRIX like shit as people play farmville.

"Whoa, I know Mafia Wars"

"Show me"

[Ed Hocken]

"Who just got tagged? Who just got taaaggeeddddd?!"

[Abraham Smashington]

Seriously, Fincher better tone down his penchant for retarded cgi camera tricks. Shit ruined Panic Room for me.

[Ed Hocken]

He didn't do any of that shit in Zodiac.

[Abraham Smashington]

Thank FSM. And at least Zodiac had CGI that for the most part wasn't even noticeable. I just keep flashing back to Panic Room.

[Ed Hocken]

Even Fincher wasn't all that crazed about Panic Room. I can't speak for Benjamin Button as I never saw it.

[BillyG]

Benjamin Button is damn good, and very subtle in its camera work. No crazy CGI camerawork I can remember.

Thank FSM. And at least Zodiac had CGI that for the most part wasn't even noticeable. I just keep flashing back to Panic Room.

With Zodiac, it was actually used in service of storytelling, establishing the Bay Area of the time.

Panic Room was a can of shitfuck mixed with Thunderbird. Indulgent and a waste of capital. The only special effects needed were post-pregnancy-boobs Jodie Foster's, well, boobs.

And no doubt, we'll see the "Fast & Furious" camera move used with wreckless abandon. This will be the Torque of social networking films.

Those new roll-over ads on movie websites are poopin' on my innernet parade.
