First Poster for Upcoming 'Steve Jobs' Film Debuts

No, Sorkin worked pretty closely with Wozniak to make sure the movie was accurate.

Then why is Woz saying the dialogue in the trailer is not what he said or would say? Woz likes the movie in a general way but he says it's an exaggeration of what really happened:

And "accuracy is second to entertainment"

“I don’t talk that way,” said Wozniak via email. “I would never accuse the graphical interface of being stolen. I never made comments to the effect that I had credit (genius) taken from me.”

Only for the first act. He wasn't around the NeXT and the iMac. He bailed from Apple early on and didn't get involved with NeXT.

A simplistic one-sheet,

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Let's hope this is the last damn Steve Jobs movie. Movie producers should really stop leeching on the story of his life already to fill their pockets.

Your comment matches your user name perfectly!

If Apple had designed the movie poster...

Correct, and he never professed to. He admired people who wrote good code. But Jobs' genius was in finding ways to make technology accessible to the masses. Previously, computers were the sole domain of geeks. Jobs wanted to make computers that were easy for everyone to use.

Jobs is going down in history as a visionary executive whom refused to accept the status quo. He'll be up there with Eli Whitney, George Westinghouse, Henry Ford and Walt Disney.

All of these men stepped up seeing technological changes and productized it for mass markets. Each of these men created a vision beyond its existing use. They lead the specialists whom were looking at process instead of application.

The fact that some here cannot see beyond the work of their own or similar hands into mass application is social myopia.

Ugh. Give it a rest already, Jobs was a poser, he didn't even write code.

I'm writing that down.

So I'm the only person that's going to watch this movie? Good.

I was talking about the design aesthetics to the poster and him being notoriously picky about every little detail.

Noone is forcing you to believe its negative either.

You seem to have a rather skewed perspective of things.

Black and white and flat all over. Spot on!
