So as part of a discussion had in class with Rob Williams at some point in the earlier weeks of this semester, it came up that Facebook is the largest "nation" in the world. Utilizing the ever popular tools of StumbleUpon and Digg in my regular internet adventures, I found this map which really helped to drive the point home. Then, it has been flodding the television and internet lately, but I remember seeing the trailer at some point last month for David Fincher's (Se7en) newest work The Social Network which claims to tell the story of Mark Zuckerberg, the "creator," his time at Harvard, and how he created this mammoth of a website and made it one of the most visited websites on the Web 2.0. In looking at Fincher's recent work we see that this film is anticipated to be in the visual style of one of Fincher's other works Fight Club (based on the Palahniuk novel by the same title) and is highly anticipated. I know I was planning on seeing it at some point. Whether I see it in theaters or wait till it comes out on dvd, we'll just have to see.
I was able to find a particular version of the numerous trailers circulating on the web and youtube and found this one in particular to be one of my favorites. The music is a cover of Radiohead's song "Creep" performed by Scala & Kolacny Brothers I've provided the link to the track here, but I think that it was very adequately purposed in the trailer for the upcoming film.
what did you think?
Good blogging here, Geoff!
ReplyDeleteCorrection - Facebook, with 500 million estimated users, would be the THIRD largest nation in the world (not the first, as you claim.)
Be sure to "caption and credit" your photo embed, too.
And adjust the size of your YT videos.
Do all this, for excellence!
