Daily Dialogue — October 8, 2012

“Napster wasn’t a failure. I changed the music industry for better and for always. It may not have been good business but it pissed a lot of people off. And isn’t that what your facemash was about? They’re scared of me pal and they’re gonna be scared of you. What the VC’s wanted to say “Good idea, kid. Grown ups will take it from here”. But not this time. This is our time.

— Sean Parker (Justin Timerlake), The Social Network (2010), screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, book by Ben Mezrich

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is All Is Lost, suggested by Shaula Evans. Today’s suggestion by Jeff Messerman.

Trivia: The opening breakup scene with Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara ran eight script pages and took 99 takes.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Jeff’s commentary: “Oh so you want anti-heroes? Well I’ll raise you and give you two for the price of one. Better yet, I’ll give you a scene of an anti-hero teaching our anti-hero to act even more anti-heroic.”
