That ad reflects the spirit of the film very well.

I thought the Tron Legacy soundtrack was good but this is like on another level entirely. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

they revamped the entire official site with tons of interviews. I've embedded them all in a single page here. Some truly great stuff.

I finally saw the movie on a flight from the UK to the states yesterday. Amazing film and awesome soundtrack. Although, I kept thinking in my head, "Eduardo is gonna be the next Peter Parker?" :lol

Saw this on a plane ride as well. Awesome movie that makes me wanna learn more about the story behind the site. Way better than the crap the trailer made it out to be.

Thank you. I understand the gushing praise the film gets but not the gushing praise the trailer got.

Awesome film. I can't help but cringe along with Eduardo when he tried to tell Mark about his success and Mark just didn't care. Been there. I think my face look about the same as Eduardo's back then. Being taken for granted as a friend sucks.

This is why I think the film was so good. It wasn't so much about Facebook. It's about a friendship that fell apart due to one man's ambition and ignorance of his friend.

About to pre-order the blu-ray from amazon. Looks like no digital copy though, is that correct? Sucks if so. This is definitely the type of movie I'd like to have easy access to so I can watch a quick scene or two on various devices.

Pardon my ignorance, is four stars from the Rolling Stone, like, absolutely exceptional or something? Otherwise, I don't know why a film that got so many five star reviews - and from very reputable sources - would feature a four star review on the cover.

That useless fool Peter Travers manages to get his name on everything that's why.

He doesn't give out many. It's also that he was one of the first out of gate saying it was the film that defined our generation. That kind of stuck.

I think a film about Google would be more defining of our culture....but I doubt that story is as compelling.

...unless perhaps michael mann takes a shot at it :lol

Oh, OK, cool. Thanks for the help guys. Mind you, I'd have been a bit cheeky, just dropped the four star bit and kept the quote. I'm just nefarious like that though.

Got my copy in the mail just now. I really, really like the package design and how it is presented. I wouldn't be surprised if Rob Sheridan (Nine Inch Nails designer) designed it.

Great special features too. Really looking forward to sitting down and watching all of this tonight.

Any idea if it's region free? It's still a month until UK release. Hmm, I can probably wait.

Ugh, preordered last week from amazon.ca, they shipped it out this afternoon... probably not gonna get it until tomorrow now. And pretty much everywhere has it on sale for $20 today anyway.

Got my copy today. Fuck me sideways, this has one of the best blu-ray cases ever! I thought the boxart wasn't a paper sleeve. Mind = BLOWN!

I hate the fact that the very top slip doesn't have a bottom or any sides but the top.

I was hoping that the side would have the blue square thing and the title in the white font. Instead it just looks like a black case in my collection.

Really wish they would have gone with a more minimal looking cover like the movie poster. $17 is really tempting me right now though.

Bought the blu-ray for a second thought Best Buy was sold out. Case is so nice. One of the best I seen.

Watching it now again since it first came out. You can tell this was gonna be rated R. Where is my Rated R cut.

Is there a regular edition I can buy? The only thing allowed to throw of my uniformity is the Alien Anthology! And that's because of Cameron and Scott - not you, Fincher.

I didn't see one. =\

So many people seem to like the case. I like the design I guess, but that outer part not having a good slipcase nor having a Facebook-style side label is very obnoxious.

Just got my copy.

The title on the spine of the BD case is black-on-black. That's the only thing I don't like about the box design. On my shelf it'll be tough to see the titrle it'll just be a black case.

Well, that and the fact that it's cardboard. It's too easy for it to get damaged.

Liberties are definitely taken; let's put it that way. It is, however, based vaguely on stuff that did happen, I believe.

Pretty much feel the same way. Not a bad $16.99 spent. Zombieland kid was pretty much rolling with his 'haters gonna hate' swag-step during the entire film.

also presents the perfect opportunity for a mind fuck for people afterwards ("the Winklevi aren't real twins")

everyone watch the special features.. so much movie magic my head exploded.

well not really...yet
Finished watching the movie. sogood.gif

So glad to see Fincher return to form after what I would consider his weakest non-alien 3 movie (button).

What really makes the movie is the relationship between Zuckerberg and Saverin. Both Eisenberg and Garfield are fantastic.

Im not really sure what is fact or fiction here, nor do I think I really care. All I know is that this was a hell of a fucking movie. The opening alone is just jaw dropping.

Why oh why do we have to wait until February for this to reach the UK. Talk about driving piracy. I want to give them my money... why don't they want it. :(
