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.

In this episode: Titus and Jared talk trailers. A lot of great trailers have come out since taking a break from the podcast, we discuss the films of 2009 we’re most looking forward to. Oh, and we talk about who currently tops the Douche List.

This was supposed to have gone up much sooner, but life got in the way. The good news is that we already recorded another episode that should be going up shortly.

Update: The “good news” I referred to above proved to be untrue. Jared never finished editing that podcast, and it just became outdated. I’m getting married in less than a week and things have been crazy, but everything will be back on track soon! – Titus
