I think that Reznor's heated FB comment was because of the movie "Catfish". If you watch that movie and don't feel sick in the pit of your stomach, then you most probably do that crazy shit yourself.
Anyways, I finally watched "The Social Network" last night...
It was good, I was never bored, and I think the critics that went on and on about Fincher/Sorkin "glorifying" Zuckerberg's behavior were jumping the gun. Fincher simply put the story on the screen and allowed the viewer to make the determination of whether Zuckerberg was a roaring asshole or not since there wasn't enough time for manipulative character development.
By all accounts, I guess Zuckerberg expresses himself in the literal at all times, and I can see why that might seem cold or heartless to some when it isn't. In fact, it's easier and less confusing to deal with people like that...
in the end, he wasn't an asshole because FB as it stands today was
his idea, period. He took the skeleton of a really bad/underdeveloped idea and made it his own, and that happens all the time in music, and art, and literature - why should it be seen as different in technology? What he ultimately turned out being was too trusting of the Napster douche, which cost him his only friend.
Why are some brilliant people so gullible? I guess they really
don't know everything.
P.S. - The music fit the film well. A full orchestration would've sounded somehow misplaced. The critics were right though - the regatta had no place in the film at all.
That actor playing the twins though?
