should just get Daniel Day Lewis, he's practially already played the role of Jobs in past films (Daniel Plainview and Bill Cutting to some extent)

Downey is one of the best actors we have. Why did you think that way?
Have you seen Captain America? Impressive in that movie how they "reduced" Chris Evans. They'd have to do less for Kutcher in jOBS.
Ok, that got a laugh. LOL Pitt is surprisingly good, if anyone bothers to direct him to STOP with the pretty boy posing and actually play a character.
It's a strange comment, and pretty much off-base. It would be much more accurate to say Jobs was obsessed with simplification in all manner of things. A by-product of more simplication is less variation, which ultimately means less choice in many cases. But to imply that Jobs was just "anti-choice" is, to be frank, simple-minded.
By way of illustrating this point: you have almost infinite choice in the songs you can download from iTunes; you are not restricted to Steve's playlist. On the other hand, Jobs fought to stick to a single price for all songs for a long time.

Who is "Dinero"? Some dos pesos actor?
Looks like Jobs.
Kutcher is a talented actor so expecting great stuff.
Some here are critical of Kutcher. I'm guessing with his success and wealth he probably doesn't care what an internet forum poster has to say about his ability to do a role when it hasn't even been seen yet.
I love the look and it appears it could be a great reflection of the times. IMHO the best series to reflect the 60's/70's has been "The Wonder Years".
What I'd really like is a really long movie. 2 hours 45 minutes.

Maybe. But that was the whole movie, right? May not have the time in shooting such a change in one movie.
And that's all there is to it - Mr Kutcher is just like Ben Stiller: the perfectly example of an arrogant and untalented "actor" helped only by the good ol' prejudiced Lobby in Hollywood.
I'll pass, thanks.
Hey, just because Cruise is aging better.
Huge budget blockbuster vs. indie film. I don't think that technique would be feasible on this movie's budget.
Of course we're assuming a lot. The movie may not be focussing on his entire life. If it's about the early years of Apple, no need for aging.
How many movies are showing in Apple Stores? I can't find the ticket button on my phone.

Really? It's almost as if it was staged! Oh...
Honestly, they could have done a better job of re-doing the 70s photo. Too many details are different and even the pose is off. And, I don't think he looks that much like Jobs. That said, if he does a good job, he might do a great Jobs.
I think Ashton has got it!
OK, who among all you ever met Steve, and actually went on a sales call with him to a major bank in San Francisco? Let's give Ashton the space to act and the director to give his version of that reality. I'm really looking forward to the movie. It already has brought back a flood of great memories of that time.
My 2c.

Here, however, it was not used after a quoted word and was therefore technically incorrectly used. You have to love a site using [sic] to discuss a film when the site's primary focus is on products that are also oddly spelled/capitalized, though.
How does one post a new thread?
I am really really sorry to jump into your discussion but please somebody let me know how to post a new thread in here. I spent 1.5 hour and all i found is how people are frustrated about figuring out how to do that.
thank you in advance.

I suppose. The Chicago Manual rule (cited above) seems flexible enough to accommodate this usage, but I believe any editor worth their salt would take it out strictly on the basis of clarity and necessity. I notice a lot professionally-written publications capitalize the first letter of iPad, iPhone, etc. when used at the start of a headline (most of them wisely avoid beginning sentences with any of these names). It looks weird. The point being, it seems the conventions on technology terminology usage are not entirely settled, so though I am a bit of grammar pedant, I didn't get too excited by this. And, frankly, the site has so many editorial issues, this one seemed like relatively small potatoes.
Maybe he'll be good, maybe not, but I'm willing to watch the movie before I make a judgement. Tom Hanks played a cross dressing goofball in Bosom Buddies to start his career. He seemed to do well for himself in more serious roles.
