Why, Trent, WHY!?
Saturday, July 10th, 2010You’ve probably heard about this movie coming out shortly. This movie about Facebook and it’s founder Mark Zuckerberg, titled The Social Network.
Only it’s not, because he’d threatened to sue if the movie was actually about particular things he did but haven’t been proved in court, so there’s a character with the same name as him… but different!
Never mind the fact that the movie is going to suck in a similar way that Antitrust* . This film is still going to be a commercial succes, and so will its soundtrack, for the very reason that Facebook itself is a commercial success, never minding the involvement of David Fincher.
*supposedly about Microsoft at the time, but becoming strikingly more like Google with every passing month) did by basically making a fairly non-exciting event and adding drugs and murder (because that happens to computer programmers all the time!
Everyone’s gonna be talking about it, like I am, and then circle jerk off to how amazingly awesome it is. Or how fucking lame. I know I’m now involved in that cicrle jerk right now by writing this article. The irony’s not lost on me. Maybe Alaniss Morisette, but not me. But speaking of msuic that’s out of place!
It turns out Trent Reznor has signed up to do the music.
Fincher’s movies are right up Reznor’s alley. For sure! Fight Club probably would have been way more awesome with an industrial sountrack. But really? REALLY?! Trent, WTF!? It’s a movie about a nerd that fucked over a few of his friends to become a billionaire by fucking over millions more people! Adding bullshit won’t make it better or more interesting. And you’re stamping your name to it!
It’s like Danny Elfman deciding to do the music on a Disney remake of Jack Black’s life about the time he never saved an orphan and fought his case of Lou Gehrig’s disease. It’s a lie and you’re adding more to the lie that the movie is going to be!!!
[Or if Rob Zombie wrote the jingle for a Doritoes ad! - Egofreaky]
Fuck! This is a perfect example of why good musicians need to die young.
