TweetFilm No. 2 – The Social Network

You don’t get to two TweetFilms without making a few enemies. Well, actually, you do, it’s remarkably easy. Anyway, I hereby announce the next TweetFilm event! It’s on Saturday April 9 at 12 pm AEST, and the film will be (as you may have guessed from above) The Social Network.

David Fincher’s 2010 homage to the glory days of 2003, The Social Network recently won Oscars for Adapted Screenplay, Score and Editing, as well as being nominated for 5 more. This one is an interesting beast for me. I enjoyed it, it’s very well made, but I didn’t come out of it thinking it was the best film of the year as many others seemed to. It definitely has one of the best scores of recent memory, and Sorkin and Fincher deserve all the credit for making the development of a website as compelling as they have. I’m really keen to see what you all think, of course, so why not join in?

When the clock strikes 12 according to timeanddate.com’s Melbourne page, The Social Network will have part of my attention – the minimum amount. The rest will be on the feed that uses the hashtag:

Post-Inception Wrap-Up

Firstly, a big thanks to everyone that participated in the first TweetFilm, it was great to see this idea come to fruition after the months of procrastination. For anyone who missed it, or if you just want to revisit the conversation, I’ve archived it right here:

Remember to read chronologically bottom to top, since it’s a Twitter feed. Have any feedback on how the event was run? Or how the archive looks? Let me know via email or in the comments below.

The second TweetFilm is coming up very shortly, and will be announced right here tomorrow morning. There will be a one-week delay this month, so the event will actually be on April 9, as opposed to April 2 (I know, I know, rescheduling already?). But that just gives you plenty of time to get a copy of the film! Right? Yeah, that’s right!
