Yup. Though the Kutcher movie could have been much better, I thought he played the role well and looked the part quite convincingly. This dude doesn't seem like Steve Jobs at all.

"tell me something else I don't know."
maybe they meant
"tell me something I don't know." or "tell me something else I know."
I think korean news Steve Jobs would be a more accurate depiction.

If this clip is indicative of the mood and feel of the entire movie, then I will go out of my way to insure that I don't see it.
That scene was horrible. If I were watching it in a darkened theater I think I would have dozed off before it was over.

Wow that was terrible. It illustrates how boring the material is. Rogen gives it a good try, but the only role he can act with skill is himself. Fassbender is really not the right guy for this part IMO, he just doesn't capture Jobs. Although from this scene I can tell the movie is out to skewer Jobs, so just for that reason I'll definitely check it out when it hits Netflix.
Maybe twenty minutes of the film could be dedicated to Steve observing someone doing calligraphy?
No kidding. As I understand it, Apple ponied up $1 million in pre-IPO Apple stock.
Does anyone have any idea what that stock is worth today?
I wish somebody would "steal" from me on such terms.
So a 2 minute scene tells the story of the movie? I guess the same movie can be about a lot of different things based on different 2 minute scenes that someone watches.
I guess same would apply to The Social Network it would seem, which many people enjoyed just fine.
Cue the Jobs fanboys that complain about how it makes him look so nasty instead of being the perfect genius whose farts smell like roses and is a virtual God.
There is nothing wrong with him being nasty, most Applle fans know his is not a nice person.
The problem is how surreal this scene is. Maybe it's one of the many made up scenes, but passing it off as a "biography" is wrong.
It can provide insights into the movie by seeing some of the acting, casting, dialogue, etc. But I think its abundantly obvious you can't tell the entire movie from a 2 minute scene.
If it's a randomly picked 2 mins, then I would agree that you can't judge the entire movie based on a 2 min clip.
But this is a 2 min clip picked to sell the movie, so yes I think it's a good representation of the movie.
Wow pretty amazing story... Never read about that side - thanks a lot for sharing ...
Scratching my head about why someone who is so fed up with the subject matter would take the time to post a comment about it.
Of the two Steves, it angers and annoys me that Steve Wozniak is such a humble and generous, giving and warm person, and yet Jobs got most of the credit. He may have been good at controlling people, but the man was vindictive and arrogant. Wozniak comes across as sincere, earnest and giving, and yet people appear to "worship" Steve Jobs?
I'd rather have worked with Woz than Jobs; he's kind and affable, and not a selfish arse. He STILL gives his time and equipment away to encourage and inspire young people; how much more admirable attributes in a person, can one want to see?!

Woz would have never in a billion years created the Mac.
To Woz if you can't use a computer, that because you are not 1337 enough. He is very much like the Linux crowd.
The kind of answer I was expecting, and no doubt will see a deluge of, before this thread runs out of steam.
Next...
Everywhere. Print - books, magazines. Online - articles, websites. On the big screen - movies. Would you like me to continue? How much more do we need on Steve at this point? What else is there left to explore about the man before it starts becoming complete rehash or total fiction?
