Today in this day and age we are subjected to a wide array of advertisements. There are commercials before our movie previews and there are pop up ads advertising products before we buy something on amazon. So needless to say, that it is rare to really feel affected in any way by an advertisement today because of the constant onslaught we have sadly become accustomed to.
This however changed on Thursday when I saw the trailer for the upcoming film “The Social Network” by director David Fincher. Now granted, as of last year I mentioned on the podcast that i would begin to watch less and less trailers in order to be more surprised by the upcoming film releases. To me, trailers nowadays seem to give away so much that you only find a handful each year that actually get you excited about a film without giving it all away, this film is part of that handful.
Every once in awhile, people throw around terms like “a film that defines a generation” and I usually laugh or scoff at a statement such as this. But as an ashamed member of this A.D.D. generation, I will boldly agree with this outlandish statement. “The Social Network”, revolves around the creation of the social networking site FACEBOOK.COM. To put it simply, this film has the writing (Aaron Sorkin – “The West WIng”), the direction (David Fincher – “Zodiac”), and a slew of young talent (Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake). I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about a film of such potential. Since the online premiere I have watched the trailer at least 5 times more.
With a great song (eerie cover of Radiohead’s “Creep”), fast dialogue, and a great tagline (You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies) this trailer is my – OBSESSION OF THE WEEK.
Well, the bad news is Christmas is over, but the good news is that there is a new episode of Death to the Movies! Hold the applause. I know it’s mid-January, but I just had to post this podcast because we were joined by our good friend and fellow podcaster DJ da Bomb from The DJ da Bomb Show Extravaganza! DJ da Bomb brings the energy and excitement from his politically-charged podcast over to Death to the Movies and we talk about Christmas movies that we love and hate. It’s a jolly ol’ time! I would encourage you to reach deep down into your soul and pull out that Christmas spirit and let it shine one last time as you listen to the Death to the Movies Love-Hate Christmas Special!

For our forth episode we are joined by Dustin Hudson who loves “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” but hates “The Departed” …huh? Yes, it’s true. And if you think that’s strange, it gets stranger… Jared and I actually agree on this podcast! Well, sort of.
Sorry for the looong delay on this podcast, it won’t happen again, I promise. We actually got ahead of ourselves and even recorded a Christmas podcast, but things got crazy busy and well Christmas is over now, isn’t it? We may still post it though, so don’t get confused when you see a Christmas podcast for Valentine’s Day. In cooler news, we got some filmmaker interviews coming up that you should definitely look forward to. Hooray!

death2themovies Do D-Wade & Lebron dress each other? And isn't it odd that every b-ball player wears glasses now but none of them wear goggles on the court?
death2themovies I think Americans have officially adopted "no worries" I'm sorry Aussies, it's ours now. Don't worry though, we will never take "g'day mate"
