First Video Clip of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

A few peeps said there is another movie written by Aaron Sorkin. What is it called?

What? You weren't around when they resurrected Lincoln and had him recite the Gettysburg Address last year?

Probably because we all were first introduced to him through That 70's Show, and we haven't quite shaken that impression of him yet. Probably never will.

And I'm still saying it wasn't anywhere near as bad as some of you are making it out to be.

This is absolutely my impression. I haven't seen Pirates, and really have no plans on seeing this. But I watched the clip, just to keep up. It was not nearly what people are ranting about. He looked nothing like Kelso in the very short clip.

The actor playing Wozniak doesn't look at all like The Woz:

He was cast for the Jack Black biopic and Maps sent him onto the wrong set.

I don't think Woz invented the concept of an operating system, as this clip seems to imply. There was such thing as an "operating system" beforehand. Yes he wrote the OS for the Apple I, and possibly other computers he worked on. But he didn't come up with what an operating system is. Also, I don't think that guy looks anything like Woz.

My first thought was who's the other guy it's not Woz they aren't talking about the right stuff. Maybe the Woz character will just be a mash up of Nerds.

I think you mean the concept of WYSWYG and a Graphical OS.
I though Woz stayed on the Apple ][ and /// projects. There was ][gs OS, released 86 take a few years off that and the steve's could have been talking about it prior to LISA and Mac Projects released 83,84.
 
I see Ashton doing the slight lisp Steve had with words with "S" sounds in them. I don't hate the movie yet. Hard to judge off a minute clip.

Did you click the comments link expecting everyone to post they have no firm opinion as they have not seen the whole film yet? For better or worse people form opinions based on whatever small snippet you give them.

Sure, I have seen plenty of tv shows and movies with him to be able to judge his acting skills. He will always be Kelso from That 70's Show .. sorry.

No they are basing his acting on history of acting abilities, he is a man who is good looking, simple. He is not an actor, he started his career modeling. Kutcher is a joke, this film is a joke. This will films only job is to generate revenue not tell a story.

no! cause that one minute clip coupled with his past performances ,you can get a really good idea where this is going . example : when I seen a one minute clip of The Fighter I did not see or hear Christian Bale , I only saw the character he was playing . never did Batman or Christian Bale come to mind.

Yeah, and I'll bet each one of you including the other people with your same opinion probably decide the goodness of a movie and it's actors based on the trailer alone.

As I said to some other people earlier, some of you guys are just not getting the point here. The movie is based on Steve Jobs. The interested viewers are going to be Apple enthusiasts and techies of the like. Most other movie goers are not going to be interested in this movie therefore the studios have to come up with a popular actor that will draw an audience that at least looks the part of SJ, rather than getting one that can seriously act the part, it's not easy to get the whole package without getting a lesser known actor, let alone getting a major actor that is even interested in the script.

Someone asked me earlier why did I use the term "armchair directors", it's because SOMEBODY thought it made sense to hire Ashton for this part and invest money in him so just because you guys don't like him or his acting skills doesn't make you right, nor does it mean the movie will be a flop. The shameful part in all of your line of thinking is you live by the words of "Once One, Always One". If Ashton is a bad actor in other movies and TV shows then he has to be a bad actor in this movie.

You guys must've never made a few mistakes in your life and never needed someone that would give you another chance to redeem yourselves.
 
Wow that looks terrible, were they acting? I'm assuming this is a lifetime movie or something on cable, they aren't thinking people will pay $9 to see this in a full movie theatre?

It brought back memories. I remember in 1981, I was a teenager waiting for my mother at a doctor's office. The doctor gestured to some magazines, saying "there are some computer magazines there."

Why did he think I'd be interested in computer magazines? Did he think I was a nerd? Actually, I was a nerd, and I knew I ought to be interested in computers, for nerdness' sake, but I really wasn't. I picked up one of the magazines (probably BYTE) to see what was in it. It did nothing for me.

Fast forward a few months and I'm sitting by my father in a hospital room. I think he had some minor burns from a premature detonation of a trash bag full of acetylene. Anyway, he had brought with him a new toy: An actual computer. It was a Radio Shack PC-1. PC stood for Pocket computer. It had almost a kilobyte of RAM, and ran a small version of BASIC.

After playing with it for an hour or so with him, I was completely hooked. He wouldn't let me take it with me, but he let me borrow the instruction manual, which I devoured. Soon I was reading BYTE cover to cover, including (maybe especially) the plentiful ads. I drooled over every computer I saw, and within a year, I had one of my own. It was a Commodore64, so new that the "computer store" was in the back of an industrial park.

I now have in my possession my first computer, that PC-1, which my father gave me several years ago before he died.

It doesn't have to be that way. The girl from "Princess Diaries" is the front-runner for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar this year.

Multiple Oscar winner Sally Field started her career as Gidget, followed by The Flying Nun.

Another Oscar winner, Jessica Lange, played "Dwan" in the 1976 King Kong remake.
 
Oh... this isn't the Aaron Sorkin one? Whew! I was worried he'd lost his edge or something. I'll be waiting anxiously for that one for sure. This one... not so much.
 
don't like it at all... much prefer Pirates of Silicon Valley instead, much more realistic and better made
 
My first impression is that they both suck in their roles and this movie is going to blow.
