I dunno about ALL their competitors...there are actually other tech companies that do substantially well or even better than Apple *gasp*
'Outfitted in a button-down shirt, jeans, and a goatee--Kutcher's Jobs, who leans against a desk in front of a poster bearing the IBM slogan THINK--bears an eerie resemblance to a vintage photo of an actual Steve Jobs floating around on the Internet.'
Doesn't look like he as a goatee to me. Looks like a beard.

DiNero's real life personality beats any made up one in his movies. His acting only insults his real life persona!
I know you're going to be disappointed to learn that this film is not by Sony. ;-)
It's a completely separate project from the Sony/Sorkin/Isaacson film.
Should have chosen Noah Wyle. Or anyone except Ashton Kutcher. Will I watch the movie? Probably once just to see how the movie will turn out. And to see who the supporting cast will be.
This feels like the Geroge Lazenby James Bond. AMazing character portrayed in the movie. But the actor just did not and never could do justice to the character they are playing. And Ashton can't give it justice either. Same with 2 and a half men. Ashton is not even 1/1 millionth of the right person for the role that charlie was. Charlie made the role believeable cause to him, drugs, prostitutes, and a wild lifestyle is his normal life. So no acting required (almost) for the show.

that show didn't go down the tubes because Kutcher is on it. It's because Charlie Sheen is no longer on it.
He's earning a million dollars a week on the second most popular comedy on TV. We should all aspire to such miserable failure in life. Granted, he performances and role choices may not appeal to some people, but he's undeniably a success. And what sort of roles do you expect an impossibly good-looking young man to play, anyway? No one's going to cast him in meaty dramatic roles.
This is a low budget indy movie. Not likely to be any kind of breakthrough for him.
----------
Except for the fact that the ratings are consistently UP since Sheen left. Granted, the show probably no longer appeals to diehard fans of Charlie Sheen, but I consider that a point in its favour.
----------
Um, you do realize he's not playing the same character, right? He's playing someone completely different from Charlie.
----------
Technically that would be the worst casting decision in the history of TV, so there's no competition.
semi-agree, I thought the show was down the tubes the whole time, but yes, the no Tigers-Blood Sheen doesn't help
Why are people slamming Kutcher as someone who cant act? Even in his goofy roles as a brain dead pot head, he played it pretty well.
His role he's in now is basically Kutcher in real life. So no "acting" per say.
I'm pretty sure he's graduated to being mature enough to make an effort of acting like a short fused hothead with a zeal for good marketing.

The Jon Cryer character is what makes that show suck more. I like it with Kutcher on it. Tiger-blood's ridiculousness made the show funny and now Kutcher's billionaire common man tones the show down a little more to my liking. But the show wont last as it stands.
Angust Jones will be leaving the show as his beliefs conflict with basis of the show (which I respect). So when you take the 1/2 out of the show, then what? Focus on the fat cleaning lady?
Money success - definitely yes. Acting - no.
Oh really [x 2]
No one casts young actors in dramatic roles. Especially so "impossibly good looking" ones.
Not a huge fan of Kutcher myself, but that said many of these responses on this thread remind me when Heath Ledger was first announced as the Joker.
The fan community went ape-*****. Seriously.
Guess how it turned out? Ledger's performance now is recognized as one of the best portrayals of the Joker ever. Imho, *the* defining portrayal.
All in all, people should seriously give this a chance. If you don't want to, fine don't, but all of this bad-talking about SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY? This all seems crazy to me.

That was just a joke referencing the lack of a Blu-Ray player in the new iMac.
Is there an anti-humor clause in the MacRumors TOS that I failed to read when I signed up?
I agree. When Robert Downey Jr was cast to be Iron Man, I thought, "Oh no." But he has been pretty awesome in that role. We'll see how Ashton does.
Consider why it was used, realize it was a good choice for a frequently referenced website to avoid some of the more obvious spelling comments, and then you don't have to take time out of your day to type at all.
Kutcher does look the part, and I'm pretty sure he can pull of a Steve Jobs impersonation, but is this really a movie people want to see?
more disappointed in your lack of humor and bad info
it's not a Sony Pictures film (that's Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Walter Issacson's book)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_(film)
of course it will come out on Blu-Ray, it's not like the Steve Jobs bio only came out on iBooks
He never said Blu-ray was useless for home TV viewing, he just didn't want to implement it on Macs and of course he would rather you buy iTunes downloads through Apple TV. For all you know Steve may have had a Blu-Ray player attached to every flat screen in his house as Bill Gates may have an iPad or Mac in his house. These big wig's professional life on the surface doesn't necessarily equate to their personal lives.
EDIT: Oh wait, just recognized the username I replied to. Shouldn't have bothered....
