No, I was wondering about that as well. It's actually a 2008 song...which is kinda misplaced in the 2002 setting of the movie. Let's just put it this way. When Aaron Sorkin pens a screenplay, just like with "The Social Network", much of the detail is going to be fabricated. You just have to go with it. ;)

it's been used in an advert over here over the last year or so but that's the extent of my music knowledge :oops:

Forgot to say, didn't Phillip Seymour Hoffman look different! Didn't realise who it was at first. He is certainly not afraid to look ghastly (pot-bellied, shaven-headed, prematurely old) if the part requires it.

This is the original version of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elsh3J5lJ6g&ob=av2e
It's called "The Show" by Lenka.

I loved them :D
Hang on.....You were in the middle of us all snuggly and cute!!!! We (me and sf), however, had to put up with a c**t on the left of soonforgotten going munch munch munch munch like he f**king never munched before and when he stopped munching, the c**t on my right did exactly the same thing except she went even louder. :mad: Then she was getting all territorial because the sleeve of my coat rested near her boyfriend's water bottle (although he was very friendly and didn't give two fucks about it). Poor me and soonforgotten. Every f**king time one stopped, another one started and they were like 2 seats away. I spent more time hearing that then the movie. And what the f**k was all that rustling about with the sweet packets? :angry:

My sincere apologies go to soonforgotten for choosing the worst seats possible! I'm so so sorry! :bighug:

And this new policy at WIQ totally sucks about waiting in the bar. I got to WIQ at 6pm but forgot my ticket so had to rush home and find it. By the time I got back, it was 6:25pm and I went straight to the screen to find that soonforgotten and Celini were no where to be seen! 8O They arrived a few minutes later but considering they were both there before me, they really should have entered the screen before me. And as Celine said, it was freezing in there!

Urgh, not the best experience ever. Still abit f**ked off. :angry: I'll write my review later. :angry:
