okay, I watched the blackberry movie so you don’t have to. here’s my review: objectively it’s a pretty bad movie. they were trying to do a woz and jobs movie, but Canada. if you are a normal person and don’t laugh about blackberries then it’s mostly a waste of time. they really amp up jim silly balls into a hyper harvard business bro who just goes balls out in any situation, even when he doesn’t know what is happening. on the other hand mike lizard lips is a shy and timid engineer. the story spends a lot of time on the startup and then kind of breezes through the collapse. if you are a yosposter who followed the lols you’ll be reminded of the good times. they gave ballsillie the famous balmer iphone line (“600 dollars?”). the hilariously bad blackberry whose whole screen was a giant button. also co-CEOs, lol. but ultimately they do a terrible job of showing how badly BB was dealing with the upcoming apocalypse. so it’s an entertaining watch but missing a lot of laugh potential. I’d say watch it if you are bored. glenn howerton is great in it. he’s a massive rear end in a top hat throughout, which he excels at playing.

maybe, idk about buffalo, but the hubris coming out of KW in the early 2000s was immense sure, it's sad now, but the the pride and the fall are the part people are laughing at

yep, blackberry was unstoppable, until they weren’t. and they were the last ones to admit it. oh the movie doesn’t go into the hilarious periods of touchscreen blackberries, the tablet (what was it called?) and BBOS10

never met a waterloo student whose ego wasn't far, far in excess of their talents, so I guess it isn't a shock that that mentality is bred in the region as a whole

to be fair between fighting for “Silicon Valley north” or simply being know for the sens that’s an understandable choice

…okay, i have no love for silicon valley, but when people say that la has ten-lane freeways, they mean ten lanes in each direction. i don’t think anything in the bay area tops out above five
