The Social Network Actually Looks…Good?

The Social Network is the upcoming movie about the start and rise of Facebook.  There is plenty of reason for skepticism as much of it is likely to be over-glorified, dramatic and intriguing then the actual birth was; but I have to admit, after seeing the trailer I’m intrigued.

I’ve read both Ben Mezrich’s “The Accidental Billionaires” and David Kirkpatrick’s “The Facebook Effect,” and while Kirkpatrick’s is reportedly much more realistic-and based on actual facts and interviews with key players-it is still riveting.  Which gives me hope – sometimes the truth is plenty exciting enough.  Let’s hope the producers feel the same way.

Here’s the trailer, let me know what you think.  Also, can I just say the remade “Creep” by Radiohead for this piece is perfect. Will you be going to see it come this October?
