The first theatrical poster has been unveiled for The Social Network (see the full image here), the upcoming movie about the creation of Facebook. And it's brought out the graphic-design spergwizards on BuzzFeed, whose reactions are pretty harsh. "I really thought that this was an unfunny photoshop until I realized it was a real movie," says one commenter, while another opines that "it looks kind of like a dumb drug PSA." Unfavorable comparisons to promotional material from American Psycho are also being made, but honestly, layout problems are thematically appropriate for a movie about Facebook, whose UI gets worse every time they "improve" it.
