I just can't bring myself to believe that The Social Network will be anything but fucking shit

Trent Reznor did the soundtrack.
Plus I've only seen/heard positive reviews.

I love that Jesse guy, he's brilliant.
He looks like he plays the character well from the adverts. Justin Timberlake I am still finding hard to believe.

Seen 'Alpha Dog'?
JT is better in that than I thought he would be.

He's very good in this
because the character he plays is very "Timberlake" anyway.

The scene he first appears in when he wakes up in some Berkeley student's bed is class.

well yeah I know he's an acceptable actor
but I still maintain that no one who was remotely involved with the fruition of facebook would look like him.

He's not that far off. This is the guy he plays

I bet he wasn't that buff before he became famous.

I think it will be good
doesn't Aaron Sorkin have something to do with the dialogue?

He wrote it, Fincher directs it.
Two great minds at work.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 27 Oct 2010, 10:22, Reply)

It was directed by David Fincher
If you don't count Alien3, which he disavowed after being cut out of the editing process almost wholesale, his films are all somewhere between "great" and "modern masterpiece". I admit that TSN is more likely to be the former than the latter but it must be worth a look

It's really close to "modern masterpiece"
IMO.

I think I am the only person who thinks Alien 3 is a good film.

I enjoyed it
But I haven't seen it in a very long time.

I may watch all 4 this weekend

I don't mind Alien3
but a) it was a horrendous drop in quality from the first two (as it was always likely to be) and b) some of the concepts being banded around before production began and the ideas that Fincher had that were expunged in the name of smaller budget and less complicated plot make the end result nothing more than a disappointment.

Even so it would have been a good swansong if the saga had concluded there, the denouement was quite moving as long as it was, actually, the end. Resurrection crippled what merit Alien3 created for itself. And Whedon's influence aside, Resurrection is still generic bobbins, and there's no excuse for putting Natalie Cassidy on the big screen

compared to the first 2 it does suffer
but that is because they are such good films.

I don't mind resurrection either. It took me a moment to figure out what you meant about Natalie Cassidy. I'm assuming you mean the minger from Eastenders looks like the half-human, half-alien thing?

No, I'm sorry, you're wrong.
Alien3 was crap. The only thing which really justifies its existence is that it was at least watchable, unlike its sequel which was just tedious shit. The very first Alien film has it, I'm afraid. (Though I must admit I still need to get round to seeing Aliens the whole way through.)

It's really, really fucking good
seriously. I thought the same as you, but it's genius in that it never attempts to pretend that any of the main protagonists are particularly pleasant. Zuckerberg in particular. It's top-notch stuff.

on the basis of all of the above
I will not pre-judge. I will not be rushing to the cinema though.

you don't rush anywhere
fucking stoner.

despite how it may seem
I am not stoned most of the time.

aww you're ruining my image of you.

you seem to be trying to do that with my image of you constantly
never seen alien films, wrong about who is the most beautiful woman....
