Trailer For The Other Social Network Gives Tom His Due

Here’s the weird thing about David Fincher’s The Social Network: If he’d made it 6 years ago, it probably would have been about Tom. You remember Tom, he was your first ever friend on a social networking site. He’s that sort of creepy looking dude whose face popped up on your MySpace page, back when everyone thought it was going to change the world and that other knockoff site Facebook was just struggling to survive. If only MySpace had Farmville, The Social Network would probably be about them. But don’t worry, those Facebook nerds aren’t going to be able to hog all the glory. Tom is getting a movie too… sort of.

It’s called The Other Social Network and while, ok, it’ll probably never be a movie it has an actual trailer. All the things that made MySpace great are there: Slutty girls, excessive amounts of spam, incomprehensible layouts. Yeah, I’m really glad I switched to Facebook. But here’s the trailer for The Other Social Network:


For comparison, here’s the actual trailer for the Facebook founder focused The Social Network. Eat your heart out Tom.
