I swear I read a quote about Steve Jobs where he said he couldn't respect a man who didn't do acid at least once in his life. He purportedly credited LSD trips with expanding his imagination. It's been years since I read that quote though, so I don't actually know if it's bullshit or not. Still, it would help explain the color scheme and it could be an interesting turn if the movie has/had scenes of Jobs doing drugs for inspiration.

Pirates of Silicon Valley did, and Jobs was the epitome of the hippie-gone-yuppie (but without selling out man) so it makes sense they'd address his drug use.

Woz has validated the portrail of Jobs' personality in Pirates of Silicon Valley, so that should be about on tack for him with the way he is presented in that movie.

Really you guys, no one is recognizing how these colours could be representative of Apple Computers?

Infamous Sphere: Nov 8, 2010; Blargh oh my god yes, I have read fanfiction, in a way it's a guilty pleasure/so bad it's good thing. I can't read trashy romance though. Fanfiction..oh god..some of the anatomical limitations are..well..let's just say these women don't very much und

I know the "old-school apple computer rainbow" is what they're going for - but that's only recognisable when it's presented in the striped rainbow apple format - not when you get the colours and use them to create an image of Jobs. Then it just becomes...a rainbow face, and rainbows can mean a lot of things. Acid trip Jobs. Gay Jobs. Thermal imaging Jobs.

I searched around and couldn't find anything sometime last year. I'm guessing you'll have to wait until the original art goes up for auction to get your hands on it. A shame, because it was amazing art. If you find out otherwise, shoot me a PM.

In the same vein, I really wish they released the in-movie poster/book cover for In The Mouth of Madness. I have the theatrical poster (on my phone or I'd post a pic), but it's a pretty goddamn boring poster I have to say. If they would've released the in-movie one (along with the other book covers like Hobb's End Horror and the like), that poo poo would've ruled.

I feel like I've seen that trailer forever. Perhaps because it's so boring. I really hate it, even though Owen Wilson's cool.

Anyway, I went looking in my old photoshop folder and found a poster I made for Taxi Driver. I'm actually pretty pleased with it. There are plenty of things I would change if I still had the .psd, like font and adding actor names. But yeah, have a fan poster of a great movie I guess.
