Ashton Kutcher is a douchebag. It's an insult to the Steve Jobs legacy and its an insult to the Jobs family having this ass clown cast as one of the greatest legends of all time. Screw this movie.

Already feel bad for the West/Kardashian baby! With genes from both parents, poor little thing!
Looking forward to this. I like Ashoton Kutcher and I know he has a real passion for Apple stuff so he would have not taken this role lightly.
I think you meant that people are monetizing on Steve's image and history upon his death? I haven't seen anyone monetizing on his death. While I do get your feelings on the matter, monetizing on a high profile person upon their death is very common. Michael Jackson, Elvis...etc.
I have never taken Kanye seriously as an "artist" and never will. He's full of it and a loser in the business anyway. He spends his time trying to diss other artists that are doing much better than he is.
Yes, that is exactly what I meant to type. I guess it doesn't really bother me that they're making money upon his death. I just wonder what kind of movie they would make without worrying about netting the largest audience to sell the most tickets.
Wow **** me, but I honestly thought that his voice and his overall presence is seriously similar to Jobs, especially later in his life.
Still wish Noah Wyle got the part instead of Kutcher. Long live Pirates of Silicon Valley
One of my all time favorite movies. I think Noah Wyle did a hell of a job and Pirates has always been incredibly underrated.
I will say this though. I had the opportunity to see Ashton and Gad speak at MacWorld this year and I was surprised to hear how much Ashton has actually been a mac user and fan over the years. Although Ashton doesn't sound the most intelligent the man is actually quite intelligent and the level of respect he holds for Steve is pretty awesome. I went into the presentation with the thought in mind that this movie is going to be horrible but he proved to me that he has a level of understanding for the part that makes him qualified. Now we just have to wait and see if he can pull it off well.
As I become older I am more aware of how much of my time is wasted. This movie would contribute to that.
a bad feeling...
ugh, the Steve Jobs dialog is *terrible*. This is how Hollywood people think that tech people speak, adding in the existing Hollywood tendency to Spell. Everything. Out. Until. You. Want. To. Scream. You think that Steve Jobs walked around spouting the kind of things he said in his keynotes? Give me a break. How can scriptwriters have such a tin ear? The dialog in "The Social Network" was a bit better, or maybe that film just had better actors selling it. In any event that film had an edge. This one is obviously going to be predictable Jobs hagiography with cringeworthy dialog very much worthy of "The West Wing." Maybe it will premier on Lifetime.

Money. If they beat the Sony Picture to the chase, that's likely more money to be made even if it's a steaming pile of fantastical bs.
I agree, but I would rather see the JOBS Broadway musical or Apple on Ice than this watered down attempt at a film.
Funny how you mention "The Social Network" and "The West Wing". Aaron Sorkin wrote both. And, he's rumored to be attached to the Isaacson biopic.
I will reserve judgement for the movie until I see it.
I will judge that clip, though, now that I've seen it. And while there were a couple of good moments, there were some cringe moments too.

Seriously? Jobs was a huge douchebag as well...so it would seem fitting.
