Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

I'm lookin at steve jobs 2015 on imdb and the reviews for it are glowing. 7.2 stars, with 1000s of people saying it's awesome (but also a susbstantial amount saying it's dreck). it was nominated for an oscar, and rotten tomatoes and metacritic think it's a good movie

but it's completely inaccurate and about a guy who killed himself trying to cure curable cancer with a vegetarian diet

quote:

It now appears that Jobs’ special diet was conducted in part at Greens, a popular vegetarian restaurant in San Francisco, and he was often accompanied by Dr. Dean Ornish, the bestselling author of “Eat more, Weigh Less” and a clinical professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco.

According to two staff who worked at Greens, and who asked to remain anonymous, Jobs regularly met Dr. Ornish at Greens about four years ago. Both staffers said they got the impression Jobs was trying to treat his cancer with meals eaten at Greens.

“Steve Jobs was always in there with his doctor,” said one.”He was treating his cancer.”

Honestly all the talk I heard around it was middling at best :shrug: This is the one with Michael Fassbender as Stevie J, right?

http://variety.com/2015/film/box-office/steve-jobs-flops-1201626243/ you see in that piece the writer trying to work out why steve jobs 2015 bombed, and everyone in the comments is yelling at him that it sucks

but then you go to metacritic and it's pages and pages of love http://www.metacritic.com/movie/steve-jobs

Which movie best captures the way Jobs shat on everyone around him, including his family, and took credit for the work of smarter people?

"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
They both ended prematurely. Should have gone right up to his death but no gotta stop at the stupid ipod

I imagine it would get automatic high reviews from all the people who are huge fans of Steve Jobs, which might skew the average.

because the kind of people who write movie reviews are the kind of people to worship at the altar and the kind of people who go to movies couldn't give less of a poo poo about the dead turtleneck guy who shouted at people to innovate more

That's pretty much exactly what the Fassbender one is, one of the many reasons that it is Very Good

It's cool the crappy Ashton Kutcher cash-in that was totally inaccurate made more money than the prestige Aaron Sorkin script with Michael Fassbender that was also pretty inaccurate

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think biographers necissarily have an obligation to show their subjects dying of cancer, even if that subject is known for trying alternative medicine in a desperate attempt to save his life

i mean they just showed him being a huge loving rear end in a top hat that was never deserving of sympathy... which showing him being sick would have done
