Trent Reznor was born on this day, May 17, in 1965, which makes him 46 today. This has been a pretty good year for Trent, what with winning both a Golden Globe and an Oscar for his soundtrack (composed with Atticus Ross) for the best movie (IMHO)  of 2010, The Social Network. The world loves a winner. I’m looking forward to hearing Reznor’s score for the upcoming American remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, as well. Happy Birthday, Trent!

Gail’s Netflix Queue Recommends: HELP!

Leave a comment

HELP! is an amazing screwball comedy/adventure/musical film that was made in 1965. It stars The Beatles as themselves and is certainly one of my very favorite movies ever. I own a copy, of course, but if you haven’t seen it you should rent it. Because it rules.
